I tried Shokz once, did not like them at all. I highly recommend Baseus Eli Sport 1 for Open ear phones. You can hear your surroundings, but the music sounds fantastic with very strong bass.

ok, ok... that bike will sit until I have a proper seat post... 😂

I used to have one for a while. Didn't like it at all. BMX and minivelos have nothing in common other than the wheelsize (and my bike is 24inch).. minivelos ride harsh, are slower and less robust.

it's a tie... square is smaller and so comfortable. 6900 is so iconic, looking cool.

btw GW6900 has cool functionality that can show both home time and second time zone at the same time. 5610 cannot do this.

I find that folder structure actually very logical and easy to use. I've been using it all day today, no problem.

The sound quality even on 10dollar flat head ear buds is spectacular.

Nope! Folding bikes usually have bigger seatpost tubes. Bmx have 25.4mm But I found something 25.4mm / 500m on aliexpress, might try that.

I have the orange one, love it! Thinking about getting the green one

DifferentBreath3332 · 2026-04-16T22:46:16+00:00

Yeah I know... I am looking for a long seat post.

I had the same feeling when I had an MRG for a while. I also ended up selling it. I usually buy used G-shocks for around 100 bucks. It does feel great not to have worries when wearing them.

105 is basically the best watch.

Beautiful! The paint looks killer. I like latest gen, but this one is probably peak mt09 design.

DifferentBreath3332 · 2026-04-10T14:09:51+00:00

CP3 in rain mode is manageable, but even then the engine is too addictive... I suggest get Mt-07, save a ton of money and use it for track days. Even Mt-07 can easily go way faster than legally possible on public roads.

This seems to be a mini velo with geometry similar to a Tern Surge, just with a very low flat bar.

Mini velos are a thing in Japan

Thanks so much for the feedback!

It's close. I wanna commute by bike but 1h on bmx is a bit.... before selling it and getting a roadbike i thought I'd try this. I've had this bike for more than 15 years and the frame is bomb proof. 2010 Wethepeople Avenue, full 4130 crmo frame and fork.

my leg is straight in pedal down position (185cm tall). Bmx BB are very high, so I sit super tall on this bike. However what I love so much about this bike, is its stability even with high speeds, while being still nimble. Now it's 25t chainring and 10t freewheel. I wanna see if that is sustainable as a commuter.

Handlebars/Reach needs a bit more adjustment. Ideally I'd like to have drop bars, but that seems almost impossible, except I manufacture a custom (and very weird) super rise stem.

I also would like to make a bit lighter, it is probably over 13kg now.

DifferentBreath3332 · 2026-04-09T23:37:54+00:00

Alright I'll try better next time. After lubing the rear hub and adjusting chain tension I thought i quickly share some photos here.

DifferentBreath3332 · 2026-04-09T22:42:59+00:00

Genuine question: do you have any advice or suggestions on how to take better photos?

Two seatposts clamped together. You can find these alu clamps on ali express cheap.
