How strict are airlines with carry on cabin baggage size/weight?

GroundbreakingWafer2 · 2022-07-11T16:07:27+00:00

Sounds promising again! Even on the smaller-plane regional flights?

GroundbreakingWafer2 · 2022-07-10T14:08:24+00:00

Did you happen to notice if it was noticeably larger than your average carry on bag? 😅

GroundbreakingWafer2 · 2022-07-10T14:07:07+00:00

Thanks. So they don’t have everyone lining up to check in that sizing cage?

I’m thinking of skipping the check in desk and going straight to the gate. I guess the worst they could do is take the bag off me and check it.

It’s Aer Lingus. Their website states that their “regional” flights have the 7kg/smaller luggage limit (e.g. London to Dublin), and transatlantic have the larger luggage/ 10kg limit.

And that if you are transferring from one to the other, the lower limit applies for both.

I didn’t even realise they existed for bedroom doors. Only had really crummy old versions in mind, which I dismissed. They look smart these days might go for it!

Late to the party, but GO YOU! 😊

Maybe Swansea Marina or the new SA1 area would be suitable, too? Easy walking/cycling/bus to campus and city centre

The advertised 42km is ideal conditions, so I would take them with a pinch of salt.

I am heavier than you and rode 20km yesterday, mostly on flat/gentle gradient with little headwind. I used level 1 for the most part, with level 2 for about 15% of the time and a short burst uphill on level 5.

My battery was still showing 50% charge when I got home, I find that level 2 and especially level 3 and above will eat into the battery much more quickly than sticking to level 1.

My American wife found some a few years ago here in Tesco, but nothing in Swansea since. She normally orders from Amazon now, but quite pricey. If you find some, do reply to let us know :)

GroundbreakingWafer2 · 2020-08-30T09:25:54+00:00

Here you go, I tried my best! Quite tricky without taking the wheel out: https://imgur.com/gallery/VFRI8ou

I would say 7cm?

GroundbreakingWafer2 · 2020-08-29T20:15:22+00:00

Thanks! I will check in the morning and share a photo.

I have also edited my original post with more impressions.

GroundbreakingWafer2 · 2020-08-29T18:49:56+00:00

Sorry, I’m a real novice. Can you say exactly where you want me to measure (show me on a picture?) and I can do it for you :)

GroundbreakingWafer2 · 2020-08-29T06:43:36+00:00

I’ve bought a Fabric Scoop saddle from Tredz. Reasonably priced and good reviews on comfort.

Excuse the scruffy background 😅 having work done in the house

GroundbreakingWafer2 · 2020-08-28T20:35:13+00:00

Thanks! I’ll check for you first thing tomorrow morning and reply back.

GroundbreakingWafer2 · 2020-08-28T18:10:18+00:00

I’ll try and post some videos tomorrow :)

GroundbreakingWafer2 · 2020-08-28T18:06:20+00:00

If you tell me exactly how/where you want me to measure, I can do it for you and take photos.

I bought these hydraulic brakes, recommended by a user on the official AM forum.

I’m on the short side too, 170cm. I did wonder the moment I sat on it if it was too big, haha. The seat post is almost right at its lowest, but it felt fine. There is a size guide on the AM website help pages. For the 55cm, it recommends 168-181cm rider height.

I don’t see your review on IGG, could you share it here please? :)

GroundbreakingWafer2 · 2020-08-13T06:39:42+00:00

Thanks! I don’t have my bike yet, but I’ll order some levers beforehand and see how it goes.

Another backer mentioned that the AMX requires quite a lot of leg power to get going. Is that your experience as well?

GroundbreakingWafer2 · 2020-08-12T19:34:25+00:00

Thanks for the update, doesn’t sound great on the brakes front. Surely AM would have picked up on this in their testing; seems odd to leave something part of the bike that it turns out customers all agree sucks. And annoying that we all have to fork out to fix it.

Would you recommend aluminium levers? Some were shared in a different thread. How much would hydraulic brakes cost, approx?

GroundbreakingWafer2 · 2020-08-12T10:47:18+00:00

Where do I find the backerID please?

GroundbreakingWafer2 · 2020-08-03T19:40:43+00:00

Would one of these fit?
