Thank you very much!

The welder told me that the frame "was made of some melted cans" and it smoked quite much. I am not sure about the extension part material, but if you want, I can ask the welder. The heat treating topic has been covered exactly here: ruclips.net/video/STnu9DIknww/видео.html

Thank you! I am not quite sure anymore. I think she was a bit over 130 cm then. The saddle height is adjusted for her in the thumbnail picture, which has been taken from the end of the video.

@@activelifeinfinland Thank you very much for your fast reply

Nice 👍

The colour name is XCObalt.

Thank you for the comment! This topic has been covered in the video, exactly here: ruclips.net/video/STnu9DIknww/видео.html

Thank you for you comment! In fact in the next part, where I am doing the testing, I'll replace the cranks. You should ask Vilkkis Weldings would he do the job for you, but I guess it would be too expensive if you are not a local. You had to send the whole bike here. But if you find a local professional, I am sure that this video would help him/her to get the job done.

Miranda has same kind of "cutted" ISIS fat cranks on their lineup which were made for Bosch 2gen big offset small fat sprockets. There is not quite so much material left but how ever they have worked quite well. These cranks are named as O20, for example Miranda Delta 55Q:21 O20, where O20 means offset 20mm. Basic 55Q:21 cranks has a 16mm of bore lenght so with O20 version they have machined 4mm of material off from original cranks.

Yeah. In the upcoming part 3 i’ll switch to Miranda Delta 55Q29,6 160 mm cranks. I just rode today second longer test ride with those cranks.

Thanks for the sub!

Glad to hear that video helped you!

Yes, but it's overweighted due the heavy 1000 W Bafang system. And there is no information if the rear hub is 197x12 mm. I have also got information that Foes are planning to manufacture Foes Mutz full suspension e-fatbike with Bosch system. Actually they take already pre-orders. But there is no information, when would those possibly be available.

@@activelifeinfinland Yes it’s heavy. 33 kg’s to be precise. The rear hub is 190x12

My bike is now 27 kg

Thanks! I really have fun!

Kiitos!

Thank you for the feedback! If I remember correctly there was 34 teeth in the chainring.

Thank you for the nice feedback!

Katana-merkkisen halpistolpan 125mm mittaisena. Pyörä kun on S-kokoinen, siihen ei oikein pidempää saa/kannata laittaa.

@@activelifeinfinland mulla sama pyörä ja sama runkokoko.Sillä kyselin.

@@jarivihersalo Hyvin se on toiminut, mutta mukana tullur vipu piti korvata Shimanon vivulla toisesta puyörästä kun ei saanut sitä mukana tullutta mahtumaan riittävän hyvin.

Yeah! I just rode today my last longer ride before the race. It was 100 km on a Gravel bike on sand based roads. Average speed was 25 km/h. Now all the trainings has been done. Just a short opener in the next Friday before the race!

Thanks!

Yeah, it was a bit hard :) The average hr was 176 bpm and average power 181 W. I know, that my power producing lacks a lot and I need to do something to get more power of my legs. Maybe some gym work.

@@activelifeinfinland It's the data in the video while you are on the uphill, it's really good.

Thank you!

I will be in Tahko from friday to sunday. I am starting the 60 km race at 10:00 Saturday.

See u ​@@activelifeinfinland

See you! I have heard that there will be about 1500 mountain bikers, so if you want to change some words with me, please contact me :)

Nice! I will go to 10:00 start this year.

Thank you for the warm supportive feedback!

Thank you very much!

Of course! Unfortunately there is no one source to get a complete race calendar, but here are some races (unfortunately just in Finnish): pyoraily.fi/kalenteri/ I would say that Tahko MTB (www.tahkomtb.fi/) is the most popular event in Finland. Here is a video of the 60 km ride from last year: ruclips.net/video/rEMQZV3twUA/видео.html. It was one of the event history's muddiest day. Next race I am going to participate is in about week and it's called Aittovuori XC. Here is the link to that event (unfortunately again just in Finnish): www.jyps.fi/tapahtumat-ja-toiminta/kilpailutoiminta/keski-suomen-pyorailycup/aittovuori-xc

@@activelifeinfinland aittovuori is near in kuhmo ?

Depends what is near :) It is in Uurainen. The address is Rinnetie 20, 41230 Uurainen. Seems to be 362 km from Kuhmo... But I checked the pyoraily.fi calendar and next weekend there is a gravel event in Koli, which is about 160 km from Kuhmo: koligravel.fi/

@@activelifeinfinland hi will join the tahko mtb race this june 29th 2024 , will u join also?

Cool! I will also join. I am starting the 60 km ride at 10:00. How long ride are you doing?

Thank you! Cheers!

Kyllähän siinä vääntämistä riitti. Ja tänä vuonna uudestaan, nimi on jo listalla :)

Thank you! Cheers!

Olkaapas hyvät. Kannattaa ehdottomasti lähteä ajamaan!

@@activelifeinfinland olen ajanut sen kaksi kertaa. Yli kymmenen vuotta pois Suomesta. Tänä vuonna voisi olla taas mahdollista ajaa pitkään aikaan.

Kiitos!

The size is S. The original setup without pedals was 11,55 kg (see the chapter starting at 6:03). After seat post replacement and pedal installation the weight was 12,44 kg and after doing the tubeless setup with Vittoria Inserts and replacing the carbon handlebar, the final weight is 12,3 kg.

Hello. Thank you for sharing your experiences. That was good information and I need to pay attention especially on hub bearings. I have ridden on that bike just about 300 km, because in winter time I have ridden on a fatbike. Now I am riding on my gravel, until the rest of the snow melts from the trails in the woods. IMO if the bearings were good quality, they should be sealed and they should be able to handle significant amount of moisture. The headset of my fatbike was in perfect condition, even after this video: ruclips.net/video/nUdDeobvG8M/видео.html So I have to say, there seems to be differences in bearing quality. Luckily the bearings are quite cheap to buy and at least I am able to replace them by myself.

@@activelifeinfinland As a woman I think I am litte bit more skilled mechanic than other women but I know where Is my limit😀.

@@zuzanaz.2975 Yeah, I understand :)

Täällä Keski-Suomessakin pääsee kohta sorateille gravelilla. Tuosta oli myös yllättävä ilo, kun talvella päädyin hankkimaan trainerin. Siitäkin on video: m.ruclips.net/video/v-4tthWywDc/видео.html Itse asiassa vaihdoin vielä parempaan traineriin tuon jälkeen.

Great! She hasn't asked for front suspension (she hasn't never tried a bike with front suspension). I preferred the weight over the front suspension. And we ride mostly quite easy trails and no jumps, so the suspension would be quite useless. Here is one trip that we made together: ruclips.net/video/GgfddGdAMcE/видео.html

@@activelifeinfinland Thanks for the answer. Nice video 😀. This is exactly how we want to use the bikes as well!

Thank you!

Thanks for asking! There are several races in Finland in may. In Southern Finland 11.5.2024 there is Evoc MTB 2024: www.evoc-mtb.fi/. Also in Central Finland, Jyväskylä there is Harju MTB 9.5.2024, but that is just riding about 2 km pretty easy circle, but it includes quite steep climbs and descends: www.jyps.fi/tapahtumat-ja-toiminta/kilpailutoiminta/keski-suomen-pyorailycup/harju-mtb. There may also be Aulanko MTB event in the Hämeenlinna in the second half of May, but that has not been confirmed yet. I was there last year and here is a video of it: ruclips.net/video/4jjj0LaFShU/видео.html. There is a link to the route .gpx and the event home page in the description of that video.

In this video there was 34 tooth chainring. The maximum size depends on the frame. For example I thing this trek fuel ex 9.8 frame the 34 is absolutely the maximum, because bigger would not fit.

Thank you! I haven’t shortened the track at all. I have just cut the original motor part of the body away.

Kiitos! Yllättävän hyvin sain, muistaakseni jotain 2000e. Kuten arvioitkin, takkiin tuli jonkin verran ja tietysti kaikki työt. Mutta hauska kokeilu oli ja tulihan tuossa kaikenlaista opittua :) Uutta projektia tässä jo suunnittelen ja taas ollaan menossa täysin oman osaamisalueen ulkopuolelle... :)

@@activelifeinfinland oho, no tuossahan kävi ihan hyvin kun paljolti materiaalien hinnan sai kuitenkin takaisin. Harrastuksiin kuuluukin mennä aikaa (ja myös rahaakin). Tsemppiä tulevaankin projektiin, pitääpi seurailla!

Kiitos!

Hello! Thank you for the kind feedback! I am just 168 cm short, so the S Size fits perfectly for me.

Gracias por responder!Que la disfrutes mucho es una gran máquina!!

Yes I will. But I need to wait 1-2 months, because we have snow about that long. In the winter time I ride on a fatbike with studded tires :)

Thank you!

I guess you mean the part where the cables goes through. Yeah, mine was easy to install back. If your's is not fitting easily, my guess is that some of the cables is not on its right place. You need also to ensure that the cables don't go straight from up to down, but more horizontal. I would also check that there are not any extra objects like cable cover cap or something like that under the headset cap.

Kyllä. Näkyy siinä videon alareunassa olevassa korkeuskäyrässä mäkenä ennen Tuulivaaraa.

Kiitos palautteesta! 25 km reitti eroaa pidemmistä matkoista jo 4 km kohdalla, eli tässä: ruclips.net/video/rEMQZV3twUA/видео.html. Sitten ne yhdistyvät taas jossain Lehtomäen ja Tuulivaaran välissä. Käytännössä siinä 25 km matkassa on suhteessa paljon enemmän polkua kun ainakin 60 km matkassa. Elämäni eka kisa oli juurikin tuo Tahko MTB 25 km vuonna 2021 ja ajoin sen Fatbikellä. Alun perin piti osallistua sähköpyörällä 60 km matkalle, mutta sähköpyörä hajosi juuri ennen kisaa enkä ehtinyt saada sitä kuntoon. En sitten uskaltanut lähteä luomulla 60 km matkalle varsinkin kun silloin oli ihan älytön helle. Olisin muuten ollut yleiskisassa muistaakseni 7. sijalla ja Fatbike-ryhmän voitin, koska siinä oli vaan 3 osallistujaa. Mutta tuo 25 km matka onkin vähän sellainen junnumatka. Mutta siitä se kilpailuinnostus sitten lähti. Vaan eipä ole koskaan sen jälkeen noin hyvää sijoitusta tullut, paitsi jos lasketaan takaperin :) Eli häntäpään sijoituksia on kyllä kertynyt paljon...

@@activelifeinfinland minäkin mietin viime vuonna tahkoon osallistumista mutta en sit lähtenyt kun oli niin märkää 😯ja kyllä ne sijoitukset nousee kun jaksaa treenata. Ite kisaan itteäni vastaan. Ite olin laajavuori mtb maratonis viime vuonna ekaa kertaa ja se oli 30km. Silloinkin oli aivan hirvee helle 🥵 ja kivikkoo oli paljon siellä. Saas nähä meenkö kokeilee ajan parannusta tämä vuonna 😊Kiitos tiedosta ja tsemppiä jatkoon. 🤜🤛

Ja Tahko loppulasku hirvittää kun nii jyrkät nuo laskut ja mutkat 😂😱

Kiitos! Tsemppiä myös itsellesi. Laajavuoressa olen käynyt parina viime vuonna ajamassa 50 km matkan ja ensi kesällekin on jo ilmoittauduttu :) Itseäni vastaan minäkin kisaan (ja ikääntymistä myös).

Tahkon loppulaskussa ei ole mitään pelättävää ainakaan niin kauan kun pyörästä löytyy jarrut. Ainut, mikä itseäni voisis siinä ahdistaa on se, että joku tulee aivan perässä kiinni. Jos Tahkolle menee jo edellisenä päivänä, sen loppulaskunhan voi käydä harjoittelemassa etukäteen. Mutta vähän saman tapaista voi käydä harjoittelemassa myös esim. Laajavuoren bike parkissa.
