    Forbidden Druid - Avinox Powered

    that's an assumption. and there's things like personal preference, knowing what you like... there's also a 10 week lead time for Avy shocks

    Forbidden Druid - Avinox Powered

    I'm going to be running two offset shock bushings in the high position cause I think the BB is too low anyway. But that should give more rear travel clearance. Of course I'll put the shock on with no coil and fully compress it to check. If it doesn't work I have the travel reducing spacers...

    Overall Take on How Pole Handled Things?

    I've had a number of Pole bikes in the past. E and non-E. They were great. Looks like Pole might be gearing up to make a new bike with the Maxon Air S motor. I might be interested but wanted to get an idea of how they handled the swingarm issue and bankruptcy. I didn't pay much attention to what...

    Goobz Cycles

    https://goobzcycles.fr/products/goobz-eclair-l-excellence-du-vtt-electrique-haut-de-gamme Pretty interested in this bike. Figured I'd start a thread since there isn't one yet. What we know so far - Maxon Air S motor (2kg, 620W, 90NM) w/ 400 and 600 wh batteries 160mm rear travel ZS56 / ZS44...

    Forbidden Druid - Avinox Powered

    Yeah, deposit in the form of half the cost of the bike. I already have an Avalanche SSD Marz Bomber tuned for this bike in hand, so I'm committed to getting it at this point. It's a custom 210x60mm, with 2.5mm and 5mm stroke spacers to reduce the travel. So can run it at the stock 150mm...

    145mm and 155mm cranks

    Going This. Going from 155mm to 145mm, it's noticeably more difficult turning the cranks over going up steep shit. Like Steve said it's basically a gearing shift. The benefit of far less pedal/crank strikes going up or down make it worth running the shorter cranks imo, especially if you're...

    Forbidden Druid - Avinox Powered

    I emailed them to update my shipping address and also asked if there were any updates to the estimated shipping date. They replied - "We were just in touch with Forbidden yesterday on these and they are now expecting to have them to us around the beginning of October." "Please note that...

    Forbidden Druid - Avinox Powered

    that's a no. the s3 I think has a 290mm insertion length, so it won't even fully take a 210mm one up dropper. looks like that dropper is 305mm up to the collar

    Push 9.1

    I did not get on well with this fork. Felt flexy fore-aft and torsionally. High speed chatter transferred more to my hands than usual. It weighed 2910 grams with the 55 lb/in spring. It felt glued to the ground and I'd give it high marks for sensitivity/grip. In contrast, the Flash is the...

    Lowest Stack Height Saddle

    In search of a saddle with the lowest height possible. Didn't see much on this across the interwebs so figured I'd start a thread. Measurements are from the bottom of the rails to the top of the saddle. As some saddles have a lower height the further forward up the rails you go, perhaps measure...

    Push 9.1

    I recently ordered one. Been on an Intend Flash for about a year, a Smashpot Zeb before that. Missed some aspects of a coil on the Flash, but the Flash made me prefer an inverted fork. Figured the 9.1 would be the bee's knees. I'll give a report on my findings once I break it in.

    DJI Just Unlocked 1000W. What Now?

    You could swap out "dji" and literally put anything in its place though

    EXT Vaia

    Pre-sale is live - EXT Vaia Didn't see it posted on any mtb sites and doesn't show up when you go to their website. I was notified by email. Just figured I'd post it here if anyone else is interested in it.

    New Nicolai with Pinion gearbox announced

    Responses from Nicolai In regards to what rear wheel size - "Since we program the bike for a specific wheel size, you need to decide before purchase whether the bike will be a 29er or a mixed wheels bike. Switching between sizes is not easily possible." In regards to running a 65mm stroke...

    How often do you do a full battery burn?

    Fully drain about 10% of the time. Below 20% battery probably 85% of the time. Generally using a 50/50 mixture of trail and boost. Shorter rides (1-1.5 hours) I just use boost. I'd just use boost on all my rides if I wasn't worried about draining the battery. This is with a 700-750wh battery...

    New Nicolai with Pinion gearbox announced

    https://www.nicolai-bicycles.com/dsm-ds-ulh-fr9-spacer-10mm-saturn-baugruppe-schwarz-eloxiert-en Looks like this is the mutator (10mm) if you want to run a 27.5 rear.
