Choo choo choo.....wocka wocka wocka
Ah haha.
Smashed a km or so on a train track at full pace full power.
So much fun. Man that voima suspension is freaking awesome.
So I've dusted off my race face, last time i raced dh in anger was 20 years ago, been chasing my boy around racing and infact organising local dh race series old school farm paddock style racing.
So far I've podiumed each time in the E division.
Dh1 3rd
Enduro 2nd
DH2 2nd
I'm not as crazy...
OK e Mofo's here's a challenge for you.
1000mtr of vert up/down in 1.5 hours.
That's 3333ft for the imperial types.
Oh,,,, one rule. You can't go down the same track twice. Got to choose a different track to go down each time. So its not just lapping out constantly the same efficient track. You...
I've got the mini rotor magnet speed sensor. The first one lasted 6 months and just stopped working.
Now 3 weeks later ive blown through a second one......
Hmmm. It's going start getting expensive if thus keeps on happening.
Hey bro's
Got the speed sensor replaced at the bike shop because it got damaged. The shop it a software update and since then the walk mode has been absolutely useless.
I suspect it was the software update. I want to roll back the update to see. But i cant find any way to do that.
I'll get...
New 11 speed link glide group set
Replaced the seat. Installed upgraded visionvelo mud guard and dagger dropper guard.
Plus new rubber front and back.
2.6 Big battery super gravity rear 2.5 Max grip assgay dd.
I've decided eco sucks. It basically offsets the weight of ebike and that's it. You end up going pretty much at mtb speeds.
If I want to ride at mtb speeds going up I'll ride my mountain bike instead. Thar is 11 kg lighter, more playful and a blast to ride.
So.... the only time I'll use eco...
My biggest chagrin with full fat e mtb is when riding downhill tracks at dh speeds you hit motor cutout right at the wrong moment sprinting in to a feature. It's then like pedaling a wet log.
25kg bike with 160mm cranks. Combine that with sweet fa pop compared to the 10kg lighter meat bike...
Righto team take a photo of your quiver of bikes, both meat and e.
I'll start the ball rolling.
I'm rolling Pole 23 Voima in mullet mode goes the E and 2017 Rocky Slayer for my meat bike.
I'm about 50% on each bike. Mainly because I'm one of the first adopters to e in my crew. When riding...
Hey team,
How many miles/km are you getting on a chain, how many chains to a cassette?
How many km before you replace the cassette and front ring?
What gruppo are you running?
What are your conditions like?
So......
Yesterday I went to my local bike park and slammed 14 laps of black trails. Jumps, drops. tech steeps. vert height is pretty small per lap maybe 80m vert. Then clocked out that bike park and went to the next one and smashed another 5 runs there (around the same vert per run).
All...
Went for a 2 day session and rotovegas with a mate with a brand new (22) trek rail 9.9 750hw battery with eco,tour, emtb and boost mode.
I have pole voima 2 months (600km old) with newer smart system 750wh battery eco, auto, emtb, turbo modes.
We are both a similar weight. He is maybe 2kg...
Oh yeah. I've waited 5 weeks for this trail to be dry enough to hit.
This is why I bought the Voima. To smash laps on chunky stuff like this.
So much fun.
Right oh.
How many hours riding can you get before you get a flat battery?
I'm talking full speed, full power riding. Not trundling around in Eco to save battery.
What is you bike, travel, motor power and battery size.
I'm getting 3.5 hours. Pole Voima, 190mm travel 85nm bosch 750wh battery
Jumped back on my Slayer after a couple weeks of Pole Voima action.
Wholy farken responsive batman! It took me about 3 shuttle runs to recalibrate back into the pedal bike.
My goodness I almost, crashed multiple times yanking too hard on the bars because I was used to manhandling a 25kg...
