    Pole Voima swing arm CRACKED

    Unfortunately no photos and you wouldn't see it in a photo anyway. But basically on the drive side only, the two bearing locators on the inside of the main swing arm spar, had worn, which made them baggy on the bearings causing play. Apparently my case was the only one Pole had seen. I believe...

    Pole Voima swing arm CRACKED

    I'm not sure there is a common denominator. Because even the failures are not consistent. As far as I can see, there are three different types of failure. Yon have the cracking around the top linkage, which is the failure that's been recognised by Pole, the delamination of the actual join, and...

    Pole Voima 190mm Travel EMTB

    Also need to identify what AXS system you are using, I have the older AXS which uses a hanger, if you have the new T type they don't use a hanger.

    Pole Voima 190mm Travel EMTB

    Doesn't sound right, I have no play in mine. You say there's play in the derailleur even with the wheel off. Can you see where it's wobbling from? If it's the whole derailleur and the derailleur hanger, it's loose in the frame. So you would need to tighten the hanger bolt on the outside of the...

    We recently stayed at the Speech House, really nice and bike friendly, also right on plot. Edit Having said that just looked, we paid £80 last week, it's up for £103 this week!

    Voima Orders/Shipping Options

    Mate ordered his voima November last year and got it delivered last week. I think if you held out another couple of weeks, you would have got yours. 😮‍💨

    🤣 working on a fix! Can't be beyond the wit of man to add "short cranks", to a line of text. Bosch are getting renowned now.

    Bosch Flow App - News & Updates

    Where did you get the information that the top emtb mode in the list is the short crank option? I only ask as my bike comes stock with 165mm cranks, and my bike is set to the second emtb down in the list. As an experiment I loaded both emtb modes onto my bike so I could toggle between them...

    Pole Voima 190mm Travel EMTB

    It was a balancing act keeping below the 32kg limit. In the end I put the AXS derailleur and pedals in my carry on and put my riding boots, jacket and trousers with the bike. Ended up weighing 31.4kg. The bag on its own was nearly 9kg.

    Pole Voima 190mm Travel EMTB

    I've got a Voima K1 and a standard EVOC bike bag. It's tight, but goes in if you let the air out of front and rear suspension.

    Bosch Gen 4 Chainring Nut printed Torque of 25 to 30 NM is likely wrong

    Don't use the O ring, you don't need it and I think this is the main reason it comes loose. I've been running 3 different bikes over 4 years without the O ring never any problems and never come loose.

    I see you're in Surrey, it's worth a trip to Colchester to see Phil Seaton. He is the UK Pole contact now and has both sizes for test rides. 01206 866400

    Voima Sizing Questions/Views/Opinions

    I think the new size guide on the Pole website has been adjusted now, and it's pretty accurate now for me. I ride a medium in most bikes and I would say the K1 is a medium.

    It is quite hard to spot the difference. I just go on the head tube, it's noticeably bigger on the k2.

    The bike in that video is a k2, he didn't swap to a k1 until later on in the year.

    Pole Voima 190mm Travel EMTB

    That's problem with the coloured options, there can literally be hundreds of slightly different shades as it's not a colour it's a chemical reaction, and unless all the components are done in the same vat at the same time, there will be variation.

    Pole Voima 190mm Travel EMTB

    The prices on these deals are insane and a no brainer. I paid the best part of 7k for my frame only voima in June!
