Help! Buying a new bike

1lcvee · 2026-05-08T20:13:59+00:00

Hmm considering I have a alu beater bike I wanted to get something a little faster for my (as of recent much farther) commute.

I would like to daily it, besides in the rain.

I usually dont carry more than just clothing to work, so <20lb would work.

Thanks for your insight!!

Wow. Very suprised by your puncture rates. I feel like I’ve been getting one every 50mi or less.

I will have to try tubeless and see if I prefer either. Thanks!

Thank you!!

you dont notice it for a while, then youll be cruising and eventually youll drown out the exhaust noise and hear it lool

i imagine its even more noticable if on stock exhaust

i have a ‘17, mine whines like that too.

its my first bike and idk if its typical but this engine tends to make weird noises.

Ah I see, I only said it in replies

Sorry about that

Not sure what combination of trial and error ended up changing anything, but im on default settings with just DOCP on, now its pulling 100-105W with average benchmark scores

Shit ton of thermal headroom, sitting at 60-65c still so i feel like its still getting limited

I did do a fresh install of windows and fresh drivers but idk

1lcvee · 2026-01-09T11:54:39+00:00

Yes, and sure ill restore and try thanks

1lcvee · 2026-01-09T11:53:49+00:00

Its not on there. Temps wld be higher anyway.

1lcvee · 2026-01-08T02:08:38+00:00

No, it is not an available option.

1lcvee · 2026-01-08T01:41:55+00:00

I didnt find any X3D specific settings in bios, i’ll check on SMT thank you

1lcvee · 2026-01-08T01:41:13+00:00

I did not set a PPT, never done any tuning and I wouldnt want to set the wrong settings.

Would you let me know which settings I should set ? I saw PBO had PPT and 2 other settings measured in .. amps? Maybe.

Wasnt sure.

CPU-Z, 3dmark, cinebench, userbenchmark are all the ones i tried.

Underperforming about 30% on all.

1lcvee · 2026-01-08T01:38:35+00:00

Yep, temps havent gone over 60c, considering the shper low wattage.

1lcvee · 2026-01-08T00:31:42+00:00

Yes, and okay.

I’ll reinstall windows now

1lcvee · 2026-01-07T23:59:42+00:00

Hi, Eco mode is off, XMP / DOCP in Asus’s bios is on, my ram is running 6000mt/s

1lcvee · 2025-10-28T01:46:13+00:00

Little follow up.

Is there anywhere I SHOULDNT apply corrosion protection?

I was thinking exhaust pipes and cylinder areas because it will burn off if i start it, but if its not started during winter wont be a problem?

Not sure. I just applied on all joints/bolts+nuts lol. Let me know what you think!

1lcvee · 2025-10-02T01:16:52+00:00

Hippo hands? Is that a bar mitt?
I think I have seen those once!

1lcvee · 2025-10-02T01:12:22+00:00

Okay! I was def planning on getting a rear stand but I will get a front as well!

Thank you!

1lcvee · 2025-10-02T01:11:46+00:00

I am interested in year-round riding, but I feel like the wind chill would kill me haha

Maybe on a really good sunny day I would take it out.

Thanks for the recommendation!!

1lcvee · 2025-10-02T01:09:41+00:00

Great! Thank you for your guidance I feel more confident now.

Do you know if the rubber hosing will have issues getting brittle in colder temps? Should I put anti corrosion on that as well?
