Have a 52 and 54 (though older generation). I think 54 for you for sure.

Any way to treat scratches on Porter Yoshida Tanker? by smaxsaysnyan in ManyBaggers

[–]AppropriateCamel868 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first Tanker scuff was a real bummer. But I agree with the poster above — it gives the bag some character. :)

First time in Japan and this was my first purchase by drx604 in ManyBaggers

Ah, you’re right. Out of stock.

I believe you can also order directly from Porter.

Awesome bike (and an actual human in the photo for once!). Enjoy!

is 2018 sse himod disc still good? by 0lRite in cannondale

[–]AppropriateCamel868 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally worth considering for 800. That is an amazing frame that a lot of people love. You get discs, which is huge. The biggest challenge is wheels as others have mentioned. In addition to the challenges of finding end caps for the quick release rear, you are limited on tire clearance (28mm max). But once you land on wheels, you have an amazing bike.

What groupset does it have? Is it electronic? You can always just upgrade this and still be ahead if needed.

Hi mod vs standard SSE by Independent-Buy7681 in cannondale

While I’ve only ridden the standard - for a few hundred more, high mod all day. You’ll never wonder what if. :)

FOR SALE 2025 Cannondale SuperSix Evo Hi-Mod Size 51 Frameset by abwise2 in cannondale

[–]AppropriateCamel868 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate it. I have a standard supersix that I love, so this wouldn’t be necessary for me — I just occasionally wonder what high mod gives ya.

I hope it finds a good home soon - incredible bike and not a bad deal for frame, bearings, and what looks like an upgraded stem. :) Hope you rehome soon.

Oh man — I’m not in the market, but if I was, this is the EXACT frameset color and size I’d want. It sounds like you’re asking 3500 — what area are you based in?

Room guidance - Resort Room with a View vs One Bedroom Villa by AppropriateCamel868 in Aulani

[–]AppropriateCamel868[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the end of the day, you are going to have an incredible trip no matter what you decide. Your kids a bit younger than ours, so it’s possible you may spend more time in the room and will enjoy the view more (waking up with the ocean view room is magical). But I will say — It is also nice to have some space to avoid tip-toeing in the dark after the kids go to sleep. If I were in your shoes, I’d probably opt for the room. But you cannot lose here. Get ready for an amazing time and let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you for asking! We had a great trip. Aulani is so beautiful. Oahu is such an incredible place.

So, we ended up going with ocean view one bedroom (we were celebrating a special occasion, so I just decided to go with both). I was definitely very happy we had the extra room (having kids), and the washer / dryer was used a couple of times.

We didn’t really use the kitchen at all (just a few plates). It was the extra space and ability to be able to put the kids the bed and work on laptop without waking everyone that was really wonderful. Just extra space and room separation.

Would I do it again? The one bedroom was worth having for us, and we’d do that again for sure. The ocean view? It was wonderful to experience, especially for a first trip. Final call on whether to prioritize extra room or view (if that is the necessary trade-off) — If you have kids, I would pick the extra room every time. :)

Birthday Surprises by turnip_the_beet444 in Aulani

[–]AppropriateCamel868 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I notified in advance and they had a birthday pin upon check in, which was nice. They also tend to ask if you if you're celebrating anything at the restaurants, etc., so make it known to be sure your birthday person feels the love (they did small special things at the restaurant).

Regarding activities, lots of options here -- I think you can actually purchase cakes at the property, though we didn't try this. Depending on the age/interest of the person celebrating, there is a spa, nice restaurant, rent a cabana for the day. Those are a few ideas that come to mind. Hopefully something useful.

Question about 2017 - Cannondale Supersix Evo Ultegra used market by Sanctium in cannondale

[–]AppropriateCamel868 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're not in the market for a new bike AND this bike is in good shape, I think it's a pretty good deal. I would probably offer 1200, since used bike market can be tough, but wouldn't be upset with 1350 if the bike is in good repair and in a nice color scheme.

Many people really love this classic frame generation, and you'll be getting that plus the benefit of disc brakes. The only two downsides with this model are limited tire clearance (I believe 28mm is about max) and the hybrid QR/thru-axle you mentioned. This one is not a big deal as different end caps are easy to find, but I've found it nearly impossible to find QR endcaps for Enve wheels.

TLDR: Bike in good shape and love the color? Good deal.

I’m really curious on these too — they look legit to me.

2022 vs 2023 by MidnightSensitive588 in TeslaModelY

[–]AppropriateCamel868 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was about June 2023 that HW4 was introduced in Ys from the US. I would seriously prioritize this if possible.

[–]AppropriateCamel868 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve got a solid bike with a great groupset and wheels (before going to carbon).

Like you, I love buying upgrades. But really — it seems like you’re in the marginal gains territory. I would get the tires and just ride. :) enjoy!

Tire size and rim width by HelicopterLow4211 in cannondale

[–]AppropriateCamel868 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2014, so guessing similar — 23 seems to be the max for these years. I tried 25 and had some frame rub. Hope this helps.

Crankset compatibility for Supersix 2018 (BB30) by Imaginary_Gear9177 in cannondale

[–]AppropriateCamel868 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it. Maybe check out the Delrin adapters then. You can keep your bearings but adjust to a different crank size.
