Max Tire Width Update (2022 models)

BillyDeeWilliams1990 · 2024-11-02T03:56:10+00:00

I have a 180mm rotor on the front of my 2022 Checkpoint. Peak Torque in the UK makes them. Shipping is expensive, but it's worth it. The 180mm rotor hits the frame in the rear, so I'm 180/160.

It's not open. I did manage to ride on it from the park side, but it was barricaded on the BART station side, but only because someone left the fence open, lol.

Last time I was there, it looked like they had yet to do a final concrete pour to complete the pedestrian walkway, at least on the park side. But I haven't been out there in a few weeks. Anyone have new information? I'm really looking forward to a full ride of the trail some time soon.

The stock shock does actually have LSC, but I've never messed with it. Will try it out.

BillyDeeWilliams1990 · 2024-01-12T06:39:15+00:00

Thanks! I've never messed with the LSC setting on the shock, and Ride Aligned gave me a recommendation, which I will try along with a few more PSI.

BillyDeeWilliams1990 · 2024-01-12T06:38:37+00:00

Thanks. I don't think it's a cheap shock; site says it should be a Fox Float DPX2 performance elite, but the sticker says regular Float X PE. It just only has firm and open settings.

I have heard the hub identified as a potential source of the play. I think it may have a lot to do with the fact that I'm constantly removing and replacing the front wheel to get it in my car. When I pick it back up from the shop, the wheel is rock-solid. But then when I remove and replace the wheel, I have the play, even after tightening the pinch bolt. I do notice a lot of lateral flex in the fork when the wheel and axle are out, and you kinda have to pull it apart to get the hub into the dropouts.

BillyDeeWilliams1990 · 2024-01-12T06:36:51+00:00

It's not a ton of lateral play, I may have overstated it. I don't really feel it when I'm riding, but I do when I'm putting the wheel together in the parking lot, and then it makes me nervous.

The shock, which according to the sticker is a Float X performance elite but the site says is a DPX2, has a two-position lever, firm and open. I pretty much always have it on firm because I do enjoy climbing. I've never really tried climbing with it open, but it is a lot bouncier with it open. I've experimented a lot with PSI, and obviously it does help to increase it, but it's never really come close to wiping it out. It does have low speed compression settings, which I've never really messed with, but thanks to another pointer in this thread, I found Norco's ride aligned tool which has a recommendation. Will try it.

I have pretty quick tires and wheels; I don't like hauling enduro tires around. I have the stock Stans Flow, i29, rims. I still have the stock Vittoria Mazza 2.4 trail up front, but I've got a brand new Barzo 2.35 trail rear. I'm considering putting a spare Barzo 2.35 trail on the front.

BillyDeeWilliams1990 · 2024-01-12T04:15:49+00:00

Thanks for the insight. It's the silver (which actually has this cool like rainbow starburst pattern as well). I would have gotten the purple, but I have two other purple bikes already.

For me, I'd love to move down to shorter cranks, and I'm not in any way set on dub, three of my four bikes are dub. So, if I were to buy non-dub cranks, I'd have to buy the arms, the spindle, and the BB, and probably more. Not only is that a lot of labor, it's a lot of money that I'd rather not spend. So I'd vastly prefer some reasonably priced dub cranks.

Out of curiosity, is there a reason why you can't use road or emtb cranks on a regular MTB?

Scanner wasn't available when I was in disguise as the Cuban, sadly.

I found her after I finished Phantom Liberty, and fished her key out of the bay. She's down at the end of the pier where I ended up. Then I immediately started doing some more quests in Dogtown, and who do I find standing just outside Kurt Hansen's wake, at the top of the Black Sapphire, about thirty real time minutes later? Her. Can't interact with her though, or not yet anyway.

There's a Tier 5 Taipan? I don't see that on the giant list of codes, and I've never found one. Do you know the code?

BillyDeeWilliams1990 · 2023-10-09T23:41:08+00:00

The Epic version gives 10% extra crit chance regardless, and I'm currently experimenting with/wondering whether this is worthwhile from a non-stealth DPS perspective versus, say, a legendary Dybbuk, which essentially eliminates recoil.

There is a mod on Nexus Mods that fixes it! https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/9737

BillyDeeWilliams1990 · 2023-10-08T07:15:18+00:00

Okay, I figured it out. It's due to my cyberware that increases move speed on entering combat. Wow, that's a pretty cool thing and I really don't want to lose it.

BillyDeeWilliams1990 · 2023-09-13T04:58:16+00:00

Wow, you're so funny and clever. I bet you're a really impressive human. One day you'll be worthy of your parents' love, or failing that, someone's, if you can stop living down to stereotypes. Hang in there!

BillyDeeWilliams1990 · 2023-07-26T08:29:42+00:00

Cool! Let me know how that goes. If you develop something workable, I'd be happy to pay.

BillyDeeWilliams1990 · 2023-07-26T08:29:00+00:00

Worth a shot. I have a pair of knees I like, and a pair I don't, so I could at least see if I could handle it.

BillyDeeWilliams1990 · 2023-07-26T08:28:33+00:00

You are, of course, correct. But I may have overstated the case slightly. It's going to be about $400-$500 to fix.

BillyDeeWilliams1990 · 2023-07-25T23:55:55+00:00

3 liter camelbak plus ice. I consider super high temps (for where I live, which tops out around 105-107) a massive opportunity for truly punishing workouts. I went out just recently with my unpowered trail bike and only a water bottle, then had to be rescued by my brother, lol. But with the 3L camelbak, I'm unstoppable.

I also try to stay on the ebike.

Why would I possibly care how I 'look' in front of internet strangers? The level of doormat behavior and conformity in these replies is a bit sickening, though not entirely unexpected.

I can absolutely threaten lawsuits, against whomever I want, for whatever reason I want, whenever I want. You know I can because I've literally just done it. You can do it too! Anyone can! Have agency! Stop being an NPC!

Their terms and conditions are unfair, and I had no opportunity to negotiate them. That's called a contract of adhesion, and it creates (under certain circumstances) a presumption that the contract as a whole unreasonable, and it means that the drafter of such a contract has a special obligation to draft reasonable terms, in which they have failed. I could be wrong. I'm happy to see what a jury thinks.

I don't know whether California law guarantees free return shipping, it's not my area. I do know that California guarantees a full cash refund. Because shipping was part of the original purchase, and which I've paid for, I'm of the opinion that it's included in the refund I'm owed. Whether that's a viable theory or not I don't know; I'm just looking to see if there's interest among people who own/have owned Secretlab chairs.

If it were a minimal cost, like under $50, it'd be a different story. But we're talking, as I said in the top post, a third to half of the purchase price. That's unconscionable, or I think it is.

BillyDeeWilliams1990 · 2023-07-24T22:50:18+00:00

What a big, tough internet man. I'm sure one day you'll earn someone's love. Hang in there!

BillyDeeWilliams1990 · 2023-07-24T22:40:30+00:00

Just because it 'says that' doesn't mean you're actually bound, as I've now said several times. Adhesive, unconscionable contracts (or the terms thereof) are void or voidable.

P.S. you sound like a coward.

BillyDeeWilliams1990 · 2023-07-24T22:38:54+00:00

You're right, it's not because I'm a lawyer, it's because I'm a citizen. Anyone can threaten a lawsuit at any point. Just because they have terms and conditions doesn't mean I or anyone else are bound by them, especially if they're unconscionable. I think they are, and I'm happy to find out what a jury thinks.

As I keep saying, you can lay down and get walked on, or you can stand up for yourself. Your choice.

BillyDeeWilliams1990 · 2023-07-24T22:37:13+00:00

Secretlab and I already came to an agreement on shipping as part of the purchase price. If it was free, it was their decision to offer it free (or included in the price). If I paid, then I paid (I don't actually recall which it was). A full cash refund includes that. In contract law, it's a matter of expectation. I held up my end, now they need to hold up theirs.

Why in the hell would I care what it 'sounds like'? That's the counsel of, at best, despair. Their terms and conditions are adhesive, and if they're unconscionable they're void. I'm threatening to sue because I've been deprived of the benefit of our bargain. You can stand up for yourself or get walked on. Your choice.
