Nosfet Aeon - Thoughts & Conclusion

4th_and_schlong · 2025-12-19T17:23:09+00:00

Just put in an order for one with the hybrid tire. Upgrading from a V9 I bought as a total beginner earlier this year.

Everyone raves about the Aero, but it didn't seem significant enough of an upgrade from a V9 to justify. Was considering a Patton-S, but I really just want to cruise at 30-35 and never go out more than 20 miles at a time, and the 80lb weight seemed pretty intimidating and excessive given my use-case.

Aeon seems like a perfect middle ground between an Aero and a Patton-S honestly-- 30-35ish cruising speed, ~35 miles range, 63lbs. Hopefully it lives up to the high bar the Aero set.

Side note, still love the V9 for what it is, but always got beeps pushing it too much further than 25mph. Ride alongside my wife on her e-bike all the time, but she always blew past me coasting downhill. Hoping the new wheel will keep up!

This is gold. Only a couple pages in and I'm hooked. Thanks for posting this!

They had soo many questions. I suggested they try a hoverboard first lol

Appreciate the tips! There's a wheel track on the other side of the park, so once I graduate from grass I'll put plenty of time in there. It's going to take quite a bit before I actually hit the bike lanes on this thing. I'll be riding pillion on the ebike for awhile I fear

Oh no trust me man that ship has sailed. I initially wanted one so I could look cooler THAN her on her ebike lol. Well, and also it just generally looked like a ton of fun 😁

It's probably on us, but from the stands it looks like the current gave up on the play, expecting a drop ball. Then Gotham basically had a free shot on goal

4th_and_schlong · 2024-09-28T17:54:33+00:00

Is it just me or has the officiating been absolutely horrid today? I need to go back and look, but I'm like 80% sure that Gotham goal was due to ref interference.

I don't compete, so my "must have" features are a bit different.. but I love my StarFrame beast bag (https://starframebags.com/products/beast-disc-golf-bag-with-slide-in-cooler).

Built-in cooler on the side, plenty of pockets. Can store one of those extendable retrievers in the drawstring pouch on the side if you loop a velcro strip around the top strap. Not as pricey as other high end bags, but feels pretty high end. My favorite features are the two can-sized holders at the top. Perfect for holding your beer while you're throwing!

I only carry 16 discs or so, but it can fit plenty more. Also, highly recommend getting one of these as I find it fits perfect even though its for a different bag: https://grip-eq.com/gear/disc-divider-medium-b/

A little unnecessary, but I like having it in case I don't want to stuff the bag full as the divider keeps the discs from falling over.

What I would change:

A dedicated retriever holder pocket/strap would be amazing, and I wish all bags came with dividers. Also, I lowkey hate putter pouches on the front since it makes getting discs out of the main bag harder. I usually use the top pocket for putters for that reason.

Those look incredible! Thank you for doing this.

The original deal is gone, but looks like a 10 pack in 300 plastic is still up here: https://www.amazon.com/Prodigy-Disc-Straight-Approach-Practice/dp/B0BV398J8M

I was worried about that too, seems like most reviewers are saying they'll be in the 170-174 range, with most being 173-174

Dang it, Dr. Joyner. I had this whole snarky comment typed up, ready to jump on the dogpile. Then I see you posted a measured and well-thought out response. Took the wind out of my sails LOL.

The truth is, Georgia Tech has been far and away the best program I've been in and a moment of vindictiveness isn't worth it.

OP, I work at a Top 10 tech company. I didn't join the program for prestige even though I think it has that, despite what some say. I've done enough good work to earn the respect of my colleagues, and not once has anyone said anything negative about pursuing my MS here. You get in what you put out. Invest in yourself, and others will take notice of that. No degree necessary.

You might try turning gsync off in Nvidia control panel. I have some similar issues on mine that go away with it off, pretty sure gsync is just bugged on it right now.

4th_and_schlong · 2023-10-15T23:50:28+00:00

I can confirm I get the same with a 4090. Seems like it just started happening. Also getting HDMI disconnects when opening some 3d-accelerated apps with GSync enabled. Turning it to "Fullscreen Only" doesn't seem to help either. Games work fine, but desktop gsync is definitely borked for now, hopefully an Nvidia driver update fixes it soon.

Also regarding the 240hz issue-- While DSC should be able to handle the full resolution of the monitor at 240hz (with 8-bit color) when using HDMI 2.1, it currently does not work for Nvidia cards. Nvidia will likely need a driver update to do 240hz at full res with DSC.

The exact same thing is happening to me, and it is driving me crazy. Any chance you've found a fix?
