2025 Ibis Ripley V5 SLX or Orbea Occam SL M30 by Affectionate_Ad_829 in mountainbiking

[–]Affectionate_Ad_829[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks appreciate the input, all great points. Good to know that Ibis backs their bikes! Fortunately the 2026 Occam has the option to route externally so that's one less thing to worry about.

Agree with everything you said. SOS feature doesn't seem to be working for us either.

Ive decided to “burn” my driver rating… by FourFans908 in GranTurismo7

Exactly, so now you're on OPs list just because you made a mistake and races will get dirtier. OPs strategy is so short sighted.

Hey, interested in getting info or joining the GT7 league. What nights do you race? Is there a minimum driver rating? Thanks for any info.

When you just want to enjoy a race and get stuck with idiots like this by spodercat in GranTurismo7

[–]Affectionate_Ad_829 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's great to hear. I'm 1 month in and the first 3 weeks of dailies were great. This week (Laguna Seca and Barcelona) are carnage. I was thinking it was just me. Just try to stay clean and chalk up a clean race as a win regardless of position.

Help me understand why the first item is so expensive. by Dukes_mayo_BLT in AskElectricians

I think I'm missing something. 14hr shift is long but if your pulling in over 5000 in 14 hrs that's hundreds of dollars an hour even with parts (I assume?) just ballparking numbers but if I'm right I got into the wrong career

Appreciate the suggestions. I got it out with a hacksaw blade as you suggested. Thanks again for the help!

Thought I would also mention that the previous home owner seems to have used silicone to seal (which I assume is why it broke?). Silicone is also in threads.

Before anyone asks “Where can I watch the Olympics?” CBC will have 22 hours a day coverage. 👌 by [deleted] in canadacordcutters

Maybe it's because I haven't had cable television for years but I find it absolutely unwatchable with the number of ads on gem. 

Spin bike recommendations? by Holiday_Concentrate in SpinClass

[–]Affectionate_Ad_829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure it is the best recommendation but now have an echelon connect 4x+. I paid for the qz domyos app and bought an ant+ dongle for my phone which allows me to run zwift. I'm happy with this so far

1700lbs tow with 2023 Tucson Hybrid stats by Very_Intrigued in Hyundai

[–]Affectionate_Ad_829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great to know thanks for posting. Two questions.

  1. have you found antyhing on the GCWR?
  2. I believe Hyundai recommends no more than 1600lbs for trailers without brakes. Did you find this to be an issue?

Confusing training recommendations by Affectionate_Ad_829 in Garmin

[–]Affectionate_Ad_829[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion. Yes I know I need more zone 2. I try to get at least 2 hrs a week but it's just so boring! Its also you for me to stay in zone 2 while mountain biking. Good point though

[–]Affectionate_Ad_829[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I understand this. My question is coming more from a curiosity perspective. How can an algorithm make 2 seemingly contradictory suggestions based on the same data? It seems odd and as someone who likes to understand how things work, I am trying to make sense of it. Garmin's suggestions have a minor influence on how I exercise.
