    Advice on fox transfer warranty issue

    Transfers are junk; I've had two of the pre-24s go south on me. The new one you originally had is a smidge better. If they have replaced a new one with an old one, I'd 100% not accept it—they are junk and will break just out of their 'oh so generous' 12-month warranty." Old ones - sak of crap...

    Weird Reversed Stem Geo / Chat

    Not sure if it's an advantage, but I think a P1 at a World Cup qualifier shows it's deffo not a disadvantage... from my time on the high bar setup, it does encourage a skiing-style 'steer with your feet & hips' thing, which I imagine on all that loose rock in South Korea, probably gives a lot of...

    Weird Reversed Stem Geo / Chat

    Hattie qualified fastest at the World Cup today with this setup. Stem backwards with max spacers. Not sure why she isn't running the BMB stem like Reece Wilson is as they are both on AON, (assume its becasue she didnt want the full 150mm rise at her height) but @Bronson—I'd be getting her a...

    Weird Reversed Stem Geo / Chat

    Having seen the BMB in the flesh and ridden it a little bit, in my opinion, you can't get near it by just changing stock components. However, a slack, tall headtudbe bike with a load of spacers and an 80mm rise bar is 'closish' to how this stem feels on an average slackness bike with a 100–120mm...

    Bosch Gen 4 - Batteries charge in bike but not out of bike

    I have two PowerTube 750s. I've always charged them off the bike. Suddenly, that has stopped working for both batteries, and now they only want to charge in the bike. When charging off the bike, there is no click from the adapter to start the charge, and the charging light flashes rather than...

    Velduro Rogue 170/165 mullet Enduro with DJI

    Cool — one of the main things that people seem to miss with the DJI is that, even ignoring the power, the motor size & battery and its mounting orientation seem to have given designers the most room to package the bike well. This allows them to incorporate standard and idler setups with ease and...

    Pole Voima swing arm CRACKED

    Yep - mine cracked, did the resin fix 9 months ago on the driveside swingarm and have been riding it hard since. No issues. Its a solid fix.

    Orange bikes

    Ah the classic - if you dont believe what I believe then your dumb - approach to debate. Well done. There is no such thing as long or short cranks. There is a traditional crank length decided on years ago by roadies and no one can tell you why that decision was made... its just tradition...

    Pole Voima 190mm Travel EMTB

    Deffo a few people have Sram transmission issues - worth reading this thread https://www.mtbr.com/threads/got-sram-transmission-got-problems-post-here.1220211 - phaps its a bit more sensitive to chain line, spacing, or axle torque? Aside from that everyone I know who has changed to it has HAD it...

    Pole Voima 190mm Travel EMTB

    I was deffo confused till I saw this - makes sense now - if I was buying now id still buy the Voima based on that The only thing id steal is the ZS 56 ZS 56 head tube.

    Voima Sizing Questions/Views/Opinions

    Good to see that people are going for what they think suits - the short seat tube means its fits a wide range of sizes which is cool. I’m 173, with a k2, and think the bike is nice and agile, corners great, and loves steep weird tight stuff. If you look at this pic of me hitting a mediumish...

    Voima Sizing Questions/Views/Opinions

    @Nathan79 Im 173cm 5"8 with 30.5 inch inseam, running a oneup 180mm post with space to spare - Paul was trying my k2 bike. He's a smidge taller than me. Its the right size for me and what I like to ride. Done 700k so far and I have lots of confidence on the tightest and steepest off piste...

    Pole Voima swing arm CRACKED

    The % of Voima and Vikkelä with issues seems to have been tiny since launch. Way lower than other brands from what I can see. This has done lots to rebuild the trust in Poles QC and production methods in the post “Lauri” era. Pole should take a lot of credit for that. The bike is amazing. I love...

    Pole Voima 190mm Travel EMTB

    Just matching the swing arms on the on the Vikkelä I think - which has a bolt on brake adapter... I asked Leo why he changed the design when Vikkelä was a launched and he said it was easier to manufacture which makes sense as the as the machining on my integrated Voima LED brake mount looks...

    Pole Voima 190mm Travel EMTB

    I've got the normal axles on mine and in pulling it around by hand id say there is a smidge more flex than there was with my Rail. Ive transferred the parts over so it s a like for like comparison. It also tracks off camber stuff & tech chunk & roots a bit better than the Rail most likely due...

    Pole Voima 190mm Travel EMTB

    Ill offer a slightly different view - from my perspective I was happy on the Voima a couple runs in.. its surprisingly agile and playful and settles into a longer turn arc than my previous eeb, but I really didn’t feel there was a learning curve... I think im maybe the outlier looking at...

    The Voima coil shock thread

    Seems to be a good mix of coil and air setups from customers... with people happy with both... the racers and sponsored riders mix it up too... but most seem to have settled on a coil.

    Pole Voima 190mm Travel EMTB

    Ah cool - luckly i went for the frameset so can spec up what I like. I figured becase the BB is zero drop which makes your hips higher vs the bars than other bikes, id have to go 35+ rise on the bars to get comfy. Sounds like thats kinda like where your heading too.
