The Voima was fantastic bike for me, up until it broke. The way the situation was dealt with really showed me that they had tried to get too big too fast and wouldn’t be able to provide adequate support. It was like a peek behind the curtain into the house of cards.
The replacement
the replacement arm I received came with very few instructions, and I had a gap on the shock yoke after install. Pole advised torquing the axel bolts 10# beyond spec which wound up breaking the bolt heads. Luckily I had extra from the broken bits.
It’s a shame that this happening!
Hope they get you parts quickly! And prioritize broken bikes over new bikes 🤷♂️
It was my drive side that broke as well.
Take your time with the install
The e-thirteen website didn’t mention chain type for the oem ring. It’s working 🤙
Check your clearance between the 36t ring and your chain stay with the bike unsprung. Mine left a nasty notch in the frame 😡
Supposedly you don’t need a guide with that chainring. I however went back to the original 34 tooth that came on the bike as the 36 rubbed the chain stay.
No issues 500ish miles. 🤙
Bought an IXS trigger for gnarlier rides and solo stuff. But it’s so light and well ventilated that I wear it all the time now. Truly no reason not to 🤙
Call Push and ask them if they have sold any for the Wild. Or ask if they’ll do a refund should it not fit.
EXT was willing to do this for me. It fit and is absolutely incredible 🤙
I had fits with my 38, super harsh through medium chatter. Decent off the top. Had a sucked airspring, fixed, still garbage. Smashpot installed, better, still arm pump like crazy!
New Zeb installed and it’s glorious!!
Not trying to flame, just my honest experience 🤙
The Voima is a playful bike for 190/190. But I’ve gone to an Orbea Wild 170/160 it’s on a whole different level of playful. Most fun I’ve had on a bike yet.
Maybe the 170/160 Voima will be similar 🤷♂️
