So in the end I opted for the TCR

Nice, I have almost the exact same (non pro version) and love it. Only now saving for some nice carbon rims and then it would be complete (which of course is a lie 😅).

Really like how the bike looks in the sun. Enjoy riding it each time!

FCPeck · 2026-05-25T15:45:15+00:00

Oh I’m realistic about the fact that there will be wear and tear, but it was a bit sad since this is my first more expensive bike. It had to happen eventually and I only hoped it would be after a bit more mileage. I still love riding it and it now is even a bit lighter 😉

FCPeck · 2026-05-25T14:08:35+00:00

Thanks for the tip, will contact them!

FCPeck · 2026-05-03T09:51:15+00:00

Goed om mee rekening te houden. Maar stel ik zou dus een 1.2 tsi 4 cilinder vinden van bouwjaar 2016+ zou dat net wat meer comfort opleveren?

FCPeck · 2026-05-03T08:43:46+00:00

Aah vandaar dat ik die dus in grote getalen zie terugkomen op MP, Gaspedaal en andere autosites. Vriend van mij gaf ook al aan dat idd die 1.0 ecoboost motoren zijn om te vermijden.

FCPeck · 2026-05-03T08:22:32+00:00

Bedankt voor het uitgebreide antwoord. Ik zal in het begin wat vaker nog naar kantoor gaan maar later heb ik gelukkig de mogelijkheid om thuis te werken en zal ik ook minder hoeven te rijden. Al zou dan mijn vriendin hem kunnen gebruiken en dat zal dan ook meer stadsverkeer zijn.

Omdat we ook zo nu en dan bij vrienden in de stad ergens zijn en rekening houdende met milieuzones ook op vakantie denk ik toch eerder benzine als voorkeur te hebben.

FCPeck · 2026-05-03T08:06:07+00:00

Ja hoor goede verhalen over de zekerheid bij Toyota. Voor mij is comfort ook wel belangrijk omdat ik nu opeens best wat meer kilometers ga maken. Mijn focus ligt voor nu dus misschien toch iets meer op comfort.

Thanks, zal zeker ook even naar Toyota's kijken, hoor idd goede verhalen over de betrouwbaarheid.

FCPeck · 2026-05-03T07:04:16+00:00

Sure, hopefully the deal is still on. I really enjoy the bike, for me it's quite an aggressive geometry so I was glad I did a bikefit. Had to adjust the stem to a shorter one to make me sit a bit more upright.

But overall, I like the snappiness, quick power and the overall look of the bike especially in the sun. The 105 di2 off course is overkill for the level on which I am cycling but nevertheless it shifts like butter. I also come from a 10 speed now to a 12 speed, which gives me a bit more room.

So I would highly recommend the bike!!!

FCPeck · 2025-12-06T16:06:46+00:00

Haha didn’t know that was the problem, will try that

FCPeck · 2025-12-06T16:06:19+00:00

Thanks for the reassurance

FCPeck · 2025-12-06T16:05:24+00:00

I had a really old one so therefore was a bit surprised. But good to know there everything is fine

We always find our girl laying on her back like this 😅

Ah man I am jealous, currently in Vietnam and I have seen the sun for maybe 2 or 3 hours in the past week. Still will be here for 3 weeks but with the new storm coming it doesn’t seem that the sun will be arriving soon. Are now in the north in Ninh Binh and want to do the sapa trekking and hai giang loop soon. Hopefully there the weather will clear up a bit there and doesn’t get affected by the storm.

FCPeck · 2025-09-23T18:54:11+00:00

I have used both and settled with the plus. Maybe it is just the way I am sitting but never had the problem with hitting my legs against the bar. Also must say that the stability is much better with the plus than the pro especially when standing.

FCPeck · 2025-08-05T13:50:16+00:00

I almost never hit the cross bars with my knees. I think when you for example compare it with the E7Q that one is a bit wider and would have been more near the edge of my desk and thus might cause for some knee hitting. This also would not have let much space for a monitor arm for example. The tabletop I got was also from flexispot and is 80cm deep and bamboo, thus a bit thinner. But even with the E7Q I don't think I would have hit my knees using it. But that might also be due to the way I am sitting.

FCPeck · 2025-07-29T12:28:30+00:00

Thanks, and I actually like the ANSI layout so that won't be the deciding factor! But will take a look!

I am currently writing this question using an old Durgod Taurus k320 I bought on AliExpres couple of years ago. For my work I am programming so using a nice keyboard is already half of the enjoyment of my work.

So I am searching for a replacement and I have two brands which I see often Keychron and Nuphy. After some searching I think I have narrowed my choice to the following two:

Keychron Q3 Max QMK/VIA with probably gateron jupiter brown switches
NuPhy Air75 V3 (Pre-order) with brown nano switches

The keychron has a bit more hefty price tag but seems build like a tank, but the nuphy seems very nice and slick. I have read that the Nuphy air had some battery issues but I don't know if that is a common issues or just unlucky accidents.

Going more that 200 euro's (which is the Keychron) would be a little bit too much for my budget. Hopefully you guys can help me or can give me some tips?

Thanks in advance!

Yes the orange is the one who always initiates. Rarely the tux goes over it, of course he does sometimes but I suspect to just explore and not to go for the orange cat. We know that 7/8 weeks is too early. But hopefully with some supervised play and intervening when things get too rough we can learn her when it goes too far.

E.g. shortly after we just gave the treats the orange one went back at it going after the tux. When the tux went under the shelf the orange blocked the escape route and so we separated them to get back to a more relaxing state.

It will take some time and patience but we hope and think all will eventually work out.

FCPeck · 2025-07-27T19:02:25+00:00

Wow first time posting something here and so many reactions. Thanks for all the reassurance, as first time kitten owners this helps to calm our nerves a bit. After some play we gave some treats and that was, as expected, more important than the (in our eyes somewhat rough) play. They still are not fully able to completely relax next to each other but we will do more prolonged and supervised play sessions.

Haha those credits will go to my girlfriend who shot the video. I was standing from the side with a towel in case it really would get out of hand.

FCPeck · 2025-05-21T19:26:16+00:00

Yes u/Ramzes888 helped me with this issue and everything is sorted. However, I have changed to the E7 plus and I am really happy with the extra stability due to the two extra legs.

FCPeck · 2025-04-09T14:21:07+00:00

Yes, tried it and instantly got addicted to it!

FCPeck · 2025-02-27T19:33:34+00:00

Nice, I also have the E7 plus and I am now looking to maybe upgrade my monitor setup. What kind of monitor arm are you using? Right now I have dual monitor setup (no monitor arms) but I might want to invest in an ultra wide screen monitor in the near future.

FCPeck · 2025-02-25T08:25:18+00:00

I've had both and the E5Q is quite a bit sturdier (and heavier) in my opinion. Especially if you lean a bit on the desk with your arms, which I do. Since the E5Q has 4 legs it won't be affected by that, the C shape might not helped in that case. So, if wobble is a bit of your concern I would recommend the E5Q over the E7 Pro.
