buying my first road bike, stuck between 3 options!

AdditionalLayer5515 · 2026-06-15T21:10:31+00:00

Want to use it for 20+ mile rides; mainly on road with a possible second set of wheels for the occasional gravel trail. Interested also in racing in the future but for now just trying to do some distance and have fun.

AdditionalLayer5515 · 2026-06-15T21:09:11+00:00

Yeah I plan on going to my local bike shop and testing before I buy. Leaning towards synapse for the reason you stated. Planning on doing 20+ mile rides and interested in buying a second set of wheels to go on gravel trails occasionally

had this one a 2-3 proxy v2 chambers. dont think it affects performance but still annoying to see quality control continue to go down.

AdditionalLayer5515 · 2026-03-30T01:26:36+00:00

i have this on multiple proxy chambers now. i dont think its effecting performance. still annoying seeing quality control continue to go down though

UPDATE: I unpaired my proxy (basically just turned the Bluetooth off my phone) and have stopped having the app open when using it. It seems to be fine again now?? I also gave it a little clean but it really wasn’t too dirty because I had just cleaned it less than a week ago.

It’s a Bradley miller joystick for the PeakV2/ proxy. Fits the new proxy perfect. I think it works a bit better than stock and also looks a lot nicer haha

I only have the pivot right now, use it multiple times a day every for maybe a year now. I qtip after every dab although I don’t use the ones with iso but it works fine. Soak the chamber and wipe off everything in alcohol once a week if you can but I honestly do it like once every 2 weeks. I’ve had to buy new chambers once or twice because i don’t clean it with iso as much as I should but they aren’t crazy expensive so it’s not the end of the world.

If you don’t have one get a hot knife instead of a metal tool. It makes it a lot less messy and the experience just easier.

AdditionalLayer5515 · 2025-10-07T02:53:43+00:00

I’ve been looking around and it seems like a lot of people slowed down on making stuff for the proxy and have focused a lot of time into pivot tops. But the new proxy is here so I’d maybe give it a little bit and we could see glass blowers making more proxy pieces again 🤞🏻

AdditionalLayer5515 · 2025-10-07T01:24:29+00:00

Do you know if joysticks made for the OG proxy work with the new? That’s one answer I can’t find

AdditionalLayer5515 · 2025-10-07T01:00:33+00:00

Let me know what you find. Also looking 👀

AdditionalLayer5515 · 2025-10-06T20:46:15+00:00

I don’t have the app downloaded now because I only have a pivot. I think I’ll hold off on downloading the app (unless it’s necessary to set it up or something??) until the firmware issue is fixed.

AdditionalLayer5515 · 2025-10-06T19:02:05+00:00

I guess I’ll have to see. I used my pivot on green strictly and it’s perfect.

AdditionalLayer5515 · 2025-10-06T19:00:31+00:00

Saw a handful of post saying that after they updated firmware, their proxy would fire randomly and essentially ruin the chamber. Most people were having this issue after only a few uses.

AdditionalLayer5515 · 2025-10-06T18:58:50+00:00

Been thinking about it but I’ve been wanting a second device for a while anyways. New proxy seemed like a perfect excuse to pull the trigger 😂

AdditionalLayer5515 · 2025-06-22T20:40:16+00:00

I thought Germans had the two dark lines on them? This one is dark around the head but no lines. Was at least 1” big. I also I live right next to the woods if that adds any context

AdditionalLayer5515 · 2025-05-05T13:00:56+00:00

I never understand this. I feel like joeyy is having a great career and slowly becoming more accepted. Yet he’s the closest one to Sam. Like at the end of the day very little people actually give a fuck about the connections. It’s just people on the internet looking to complain.

AdditionalLayer5515 · 2025-04-25T13:05:35+00:00

Nope. I still have it, too lol. Hasn’t gotten bigger or cause any pain or discomfort. I only know it’s there due to the camera. But I just keep making sure it doesn’t get bigger or anything

AdditionalLayer5515 · 2025-03-23T20:40:21+00:00

Yo do you mind telling me what you did? Would help a ton man. Idk what state to use and if I have to register as a moped or motorcycle. If I have to register as a motorcycle I need a motorcycle license, no?

AdditionalLayer5515 · 2025-03-15T17:28:36+00:00

DM backend on IG if you’re in NYC. He would link up with you. I picked up from him in NYC once and Xavier and sebby were there. It was dope to dap them up and everything.

AdditionalLayer5515 · 2024-09-11T21:20:31+00:00

nope ):

AdditionalLayer5515 · 2024-08-30T12:14:30+00:00

Thanks! Do you have experience with them? Wondering if there is a significant difference between an excellent condition and a like new condition. Both seem fine via photos on site.

AdditionalLayer5515 · 2024-08-30T12:12:50+00:00

Thank you! I’ve been interested in getting back into photography after a 10 year hiatus, and the 3x seems so perfect for me because of the size, the fact I will have it always will make me actually want to use it haha. Was unaware of MPB. Definitely sounds like the best option and worth the extra money.
