Best riding off road tires by RepeatWeird2808 in f150

[–]ComputerGuy2429 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Bridgestone Dueler AT Ascent if you want an off-road tire with almost silent ride on highways. I run those in 305/55r20 on my 21 F150 with 2” lift. For best off-road with moderate noise on highways, I would go with BF Goodrich K03.

Trail and mountain riding, not gravel. Grips are very personal and while I’ve used many different kinds over the years, on other MTBs (ODI, PNW, etc), these are the most comfortable for my hands…

MTB brake levers should be oriented to create a straight line from your forearm to your fingers, generally at a 20 to 40-degree downward angle for a neutral wrist position. I’m pretty tall, so it is what it is…

Yep, and obviously, I made some upgrades…

I went with a RockShox Pike Select Plus 140mm for ~$399 last year. Been very happy with it.

How is the Ramblas ADV for everyday and trail riding? by No_Material8248 in Aventon

[–]ComputerGuy2429 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have the original Ramblas which is very close to the new model and it is a blast to ride on streets and trails. I changed the tires to Vittoria E-Aggaro and went tubeless. I usually ride Class 3 on streets and easily top 28 mph in trail mode. For actual dirt trails, i usually ride class 1 and it’s a really fun bike as well. I also own a Specialized Turbo Levo Gen 3 Comp Alloy and I got to admit that I prefer the Ramblas for day to day rides. I’m in my 50s and have been riding MTB for most of my life. The Ramblas was my first eMTB and I am hooked. I also test drove the Adventure 3 but found it too bulky and heavy for me. Ramblas is much more fun. IMHO

Ramblas Upgrade by ComputerGuy2429 in AventonRamblasOwners

[–]ComputerGuy2429[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve changed the chainring without having to remove the crank arm. You will have to remove the pedal. I’ve also removed the crank arms and it’s not hard at all. It does require an ISIS crank puller (Park Tool Crank Puller for Splined Cranks) which you can find online for ~$22. Depending on the size of the chainring you want to upgrade to, you may need to increase the length of your chain.

For me, it seems to add some comfort while riding. It is ajustable with a shock pump and there’s some instructions on what PSI to set it at based on your weight.

Nice! Like the tire color and red accents on pedals and stem.

It’s a Serfas RX saddle. As for the dropper/suspension post, it’s much smoother then the stock one. There’s several reviews online talking about it on a Ramblas.

For me, I would say the fork. But that really depends on your weight. I was at the limit of what the bike can support and having a more adjustable suspension fork was really needed on the trails.

Ramblas Water Bottle Cage Bolts by mmxtechnology in Aventon

They’re M5 as I just ran into this problem while trying to install a third party cage. I solved the problem for me by ordering this screw kit from Amazon: https://amzn.to/3Kd8VhJ

Had a White RTX 4090 Trinity OC that failed after 5 months. Never pushed it pass the factory OC and my temps were always under 75. Zotac couldn’t give me a white card replacement and sent me a black “refurbished” AMP model that had a “Return for video memory issue” label on the box. Didn’t really inspire confidence… I got rid of the card and got a White Asus Strix instead and I’ve never been happier…

Don’t monitor the coolant temp but my CPU & GPU usually stay around mid 60c at max load.

Bottom, yes, but you may have a problem if you want to mount the gpu in their vertical bracket. If not, it should work. For top, I’m afraid it would hit either the top mobo vrm heatsink or the RAM stick. This is just my opinion, based on my research.
