MAYOR V5 Aluminum
Delivery of the raw frames is imminent. We are hoping to start shipping them out as early as Monday, April 19th
To our valued customers - we understand that the wait has been long and frustrating, but the time is almost at hand to ship out your new Mayor v5 fat bikes. Shipping will commence as early as next week, with but one exception. Unfortunately, a part of our shipment is trailing slightly behind - that which contains all of the Mayor v5 aluminum Raw Finish bikes. These will ship out soon after, approximately two weeks from this notice. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience to those of you that have ordered this colourway. These delays are completely out of our control, but we will be sure to post updates as soon as we receive them.
All customers with pre-orders have been contacted, and have been made aware that the shipments of both bikes are arriving together from overseas. It was also previously stated that Mayor v5 bikes will ship first, and that the queue has been determined by which orders were received, first to last.
For those of you with MiddleChild 2020 orders, we ask that you please remain patient while we undertake Mayor fat bike shipments. Our priority is to ensure that everyone's orders are fulfilled in the shortest time possible, so during this hectic busy period, we may refrain from responding immediately to email inquiries, as is our custom. We thank you for your continued patience and understanding, and ask that you stand by for updates which will surely be forthcoming to all of you with pending orders.
Delivery is expected between March 9th and March 19th
Due to the extensive lead times being offered by certain components manufacturers, the original specifications/build kits for this bike have been changed. So that we may be able to deliver complete bikes as scheduled, per our shipping updates, certain parts have been swapped out for those with shorter lead times. In each case, we have attempted to make substitutions that do not compromise the integrity of each build. Pricing has changed accordingly.
.
Important: Notwithstanding any change of specifications, pricing on all bikes will have to be adjusted to reflect the increases in the cost of manufacturing and shipping. This is unfortunate, but no manufacturer - large or small - will be unaffected by the strain on the global supply chain. We are doing our absolute best to keep our costs and timelines as close to original estimates as possible.
.
The price changes are effective immediately, and have been applied to all affected bikes, including those on pre-order.
Despite the many and lengthy delays hampering bike industry supply chains, we have managed to complete production on the new Mayor V5, only to now be plagued with shipping delays. Bikes are in transit from Taiwan, but due to the immense backlog, we are now anticipating a delivery date of February 28. While we had hoped to avoid any further delays, we have learned that these circumstances are simply beyond our control, and we thank you for your patience and understanding.
Currently, the entire manufacturing sector of the global cycling industry is operating at maximum capacity, in the effort to catch up on lost time from this year’s slowdowns and shutdowns. In some cases, lead times for components have tripled and even quadrupled. Unfortunately, RSD Bikes is also feeling the effects of these delays.
In spite of the grim outlook, we have managed to source from Shimano a number of 11-spd SLX drivetrains, to replace the Deore 6100 12-spd groups that were spec’d on build kits 2 and 2A. This solution has incurred costs from purchasing through Shimano North America, as opposed to sourcing directly from Taiwan. This will result in an increase of $55 USD/$70 CAD per bike. As stated in our recent update, each customer with a 1×12 complete build pre-order will be contacted directly in the next 3-4 days to discuss the various options available to them.
Delivery dates remain largely unpredictable and uncontrollable, however as of today, our latest ETA looks favourable for mid-December.
We have just received advance notice from Shimano that all 1×12 drivetrains that we have on order will be delayed for a time, and will ship to us over the period from late January to March 2021. We realize that this may cause quite an inconvenience for anyone that has pre-ordered a v5 Mayor fat bike, so we are temporarily suspending pre-orders for 1×12 builds until further notice.
Since we anticipate that many orders will be swapped out for 1×11 builds in order to ensure on-time complete bike deliveries, we are temporarily suspending pre-orders for 1×11 builds also, until further notice. We are taking these steps in an effort to be able to fulfill as many pre-orders as possible, by keeping options open for potential upgrade or downgrade.
If you have already placed your pre-order for a Mayor 1×12, we will be contacting you individually to offer the various alternative options available to you at this time. Should you wish to cancel your pre-order, please contact us by email at info@rsdbikes.com
While we regret having to share the news of this delay on the eve of fat bike season, we would like to thank you for your patience and understanding during these uniquely challenging times.
Sincerely,
RSD Bikes
This is not fake news: Fat bikes have evolved from 1-season freaks that were built for riders who couldn’t make it through snowy winters without a pedal. So we’ve changed with the times and updated our flagship Mayor to be a legit all-season bike. The best value in the fat bike category is now an excellent candidate for year-round trail campaigns.To make good on this claim, these small but significant changes were made to V.5 Mayor:
Same Slacker head angle – 67 degrees
Same Steeper seat tube angle – 74 degrees
Sliding drop-outs and new V5 chainstay lengths of 435mm-450mm, a brand new top tube, shorter head tubes as well as a new added size XXL
Internal dropper-post cable routing
The qualities that made your old Mayor great are still true:
Custom hydro-formed 6061 tubing and RSD carbon fork
Massive rear stays to guarantee lateral rigidity
197mm rear thru-axle and 150mm front spacing
Proven build with RaceFace cockpit and Turbine cranks with direct-mount 28t ring
Sun Ringlé Mulefüt V2 80mm wheels shod with Maxxis Minion 4.8” rubber, allowing up to 100mm rims and 5.05” tires

How much assembly is required?
As stated in the Shop page under each product, there is around 50% assembly required. Each bike takes approximately 30min to 1 hour for an experienced mechanic. Assembly should not be attempted if you’ve never done it before. A bike that is not properly assembled could result in potential serious injuries. Take it to a shop near you. https://rsdbikes.com/assembly-requirements
Do Bikes, Frames or Forks really cost $100, $250 or $500?
No, the $100, $250 or $500 is a required deposit in order to secure a specific size, colour or build that is currently not in stock. The balance will be due prior to shipping. These amounts are labelled as Deposit or Pre-Order Deposit
When do I pay the balance after i placed a pre-order?
Once the pre-order is placed and the deposit paid, there are no further actions needed from you. We will contact you 2-3 weeks prior to the scheduled delivery to confirm your shipping information as well as the details of your order. Once all is confirmed, we will send you an invoice for the balance. We DO NOT automatically charge the original card used for the deposit. The balance can be settled with the same or any other cards.
After I placed a pre-order, can I pay down the balance before the bike/frame arrives?
yes, we accept partial payments to increase the amount of your deposit. The full balance has to be paid prior to shipping. should you wish to make additional partial deposits, please email us. info@rsdbikes.com and reference your order #
Can your frames accept tapered forks?
Yes, all of our frames use 44mm Straight Head Tubes. That means that you can use any and all steer tubes styles and sizes. When the Headset is provided with the frame, it is for tapered steer tube forks.
What headset do i need?
We use ZS44/28.6 Top (Zero Stack) and EC44/40 Bottom (External Cup). We also only use tapered steerer tube forks.
What are the crank specs for the Mayor?
BB shell is 100mm Threaded.
You need a 190/197mm rear spacing crank with a minimum 100mm clearance from the center of the BB to the inside clearance dimension of the crank arms. Minimum Q Factor is 220mm.
We recommend any of these Race Face 190/197mm cranks: Next SL, Next R, Turbine, Aeffect and Ride. Each of these crank will come with 2 x 11mm spacers.
SRAM cranks, even though 190/197mm DO NOT FIT. The Q Factor is too low and therefore the crank arms will not clear the stays.
Do you have a size chart?
Yes, in 2 different places. One is located mid page on the Specs & Geometry Tab as a pull down menu. Just extend the (+) to see the Chart. The other is located at the bottom of the Geometry chart which is also mid page and locate the pull down menu (+) for the Geometry chart and choose your preferred standard: Imperial or Metric.
What’s the biggest Tire/Rim combo I can use on:
Some tire/rim combo may differ from brand to brand and from year to year, so please use your discretion. These are only guidelines.
- Mayor V3 / V4 / V5 – 26×5.05/100mm. 27.5×4.0/50mm, 29×3.0/50mm

Does the Frame Only option also include the fork?
No, it doesn’t. the Frame Only option is for the frame only
Can I use a 142mm wheel inside a Boost 148mm Frames?
No, you can’t. You will void your warranty. No one makes sliders thick enough to accommodate the extra spacing. That being said, a lot of hub manufacturer offer a conversion kit. Check with them.
Can I customize my build?
Yes and No. We might have some parts in stock. Depends on availability. We only have access to other parts from the manufacturers we currently work with, It also all depends in their available stock. If it’s a brand we never worked with, then sorry, we can’t.
Do you offer custom geometry?
No, we don’t. We designed each of our bikes from the ground up to be produced in large quantities, so we cannot accommodate single designs.
What is your warranty?
Is my warranty void if I drill my own Internal Dropper hole?
Yes, it will be voided. Each of our frames are tested as sold. If the frame is altered in anyway, it could compromise the strength of the frame and therefore void the warranty. See the full Warranty details here
Can I convert my bike to an e-bike?
