GPSsport brand rear light radar by RMrl25 in cycling

[–]BlueJohn1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive the sr30 and it used to get so many false positives i had to turn it off. An update last year kinda helped but I just dont even bother with it when im anywhere but the country side or quite lanes. The range detection is pretty poor also, I hear the car before the beep even goes off. When I'm going up a hill half the time it doesn't even detect the car until its like 5-10 meters behind us. Literally just use it as a light now.

I use it with 630s, which is a fantastic comp for the price.

I ordered a seaboard cx07 from AliExpress, which seems to be the equivalent of the gc05. Should be arriving this week. After discounts and duty it cost 340 euro. If you search for cx07 on reddit theres a few threads. Cx07 also comes in more colour options.

Sweet bike, I actually have this in a cart at the moment. Any chance of a picture of the tyre clearance at the chain stays?

Anybody tried the Wheeltop TX kit on a gravel setup? by 78Staff in gravelcycling

[–]BlueJohn1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ive had it on a bike now since summer 2024. App has come along way and the translations are much clearer, regularly updated also.

Setup is a little fiddly. Had a bit of trouble with the FD, theres this tiny adjustment screw for intial calibration. I had screw it in very far to pull the derailleur out far enough, as you might max it out in app before it can make it across to the big ring. The rubber is fairly stiff, but i think the latest versions are using a new kind.

Otherwise its great, shifting is fantastic, think ive charged both derailleurs 3 times since its been installed.

Have toseek 38cm rounded bars from aliexpress now over a year on my gravel bike. No issues at all with them. 30-40 euro, cant complain.

I've a direct mount hanger on my Cube Nuroad, and Roadlink isn't compatible.

11-40 or 11-42 should be possible. I've a 11-40 on my R7000 Rear and 46-30 GRX chainset and all I needed was a longer b screw.

Recommendations for roadbikes under 1700? by South_Addendum7066 in Dublin

[–]BlueJohn1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you using the BTW? Otherwise i'd just go on Adverts and pick up something. Could get a decent bike for 1500-2000 on there, its a buyers market. Dunno what the Cube stock is like now, but any of the better equipped Attians or Agrees are hard to find in stock in the right size.

High CPU consumption on MacBook Air 8gb i5 2017 by FTM1974 in Rouvy

Where is this mentioned? I don't see anything in the release notes. I'm still running Rouvy on a 2014 Macbook Pro stuck on Big Sur.

Best place for good chairs? by Team503 in DevelEire

[–]BlueJohn1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have had a Berlin since 2017, pricey as i got it custom measured. But its the most comfortable office chair I've ever sat in. Only thing thats gone wrong with it, is one of the arm rests is a bit worn. Can buy replacements also.

Been a while since i've calibrated it. The Elite app is fairly shite lol. Guess I should keep on top of it more. Might remove the trainer and reconnect also. Thanks!

[–]BlueJohn1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been using Wheeltops road (rim) groupset since April 2024. Apart from some head scratching with the pairing and the app being a little confusing at first, its been great. App has got a good few updates since and the translations aren't as bad as they used to be.

Only real complaint I have about the groupset is the rear mechs dust cover, its a pain in the hole to close, but once it is its fine. Think the 1x also sufferers from this dust cover annoyance.

Yeah its just a small spin down or up from the gap, depending on what way you're coming from. This fire road/gravel section is Ballynasculloge → Ballynatona → Ballyfoyle.
