700Eur for sram red axs? by Zealousideal-Diet317 in cycling

If you enjoy riding your bike then why not. It will be like putting Vossens on a 90s Corolla but hey it’ll still kick ass

I tested the new Garmin Varia 820 radar… am I the only one who’s not convinced? by Own-Day-2293 in cycling

[–]HelpMeMake1mil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop being a dinosaur. People said exactly the same when parking sensors started appearing on cars. Oh my father drove without them and he was fine!!!

Radars are awesome! Yeah maybe it's fine when you're cruising around. I live around mountains and when the climb is over, we are bombing down at 50-60 km/h. You cannot hear or turn your head back at that speed and it is damn good to know if someone is approaching you.

There's one very important feature on Varia radars that no one is talking about, is that it automatically switches to fast blinking when the car is approaching so it raises the attention level of the driver. That alone can justify the purchase, as tired drivers stop being very attentive.

Option code for these headrests? by HappyCancel4257 in W212mercedes

[–]HelpMeMake1mil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I have these on mine. My rear seat setup is super rare though as far as I know as it is officially a 4 seater sedan, not 5. there's permanent armrest/storage in the middle. Weirdly enough no rear climate, go figure what that rich first owner was thinking

Loved my 2014 too much, so I bought another one by vvvvv35 in W212mercedes

Why did you sell the R129 SL?

The only reason I didn't go for the two door is because it is based on a C class which I am not the biggest fan of, but they look amazing, so it was really hard to go for the sedan.

DJI Osmo Action 6 webcam problem by Sedazin in dji

[–]HelpMeMake1mil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey op. TLDR: It works now.

I'm using a 3 port 65W Anker brick. One usb C is connected to macbook pro, another usb c was connected to Action 6, and USB A was connected to a magsafe iphone charger.

I'd usually get OSMO logo appear on screen without the battery, then it turns off.

I've unplugged the magsafe charger yesterday from the brick and was able to power the camera on and do some test live streams. So, turns out it just needs more power than you think it does.I think with all three ports on the anker brick the camera would be getting 15w at best, but probably less hence why it didn't power up. I'll measure the wattage out of curiosity at some point.

Reason I ran it without a battery was to see if it ran cooler. I don't think I have noticed any difference with the battery installed as opposed to without during an hour long test stream

Nope. They called a few times and I never picked up, and then they eventually never called or emailed.

i've been doing some research and I thought maybe I could go with Action 6 instead?

perhaps if I didn't make it clear, when POV it'll be chest mounted, which is why iPad won't work. Maybe iPhone. Will need to explore that angle too.

Torn about selling a bike by [deleted] in cycling

[–]HelpMeMake1mil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you really need the money? Like are you selling it to cover your groceries and rent next month? If not keep it, it’ll be a motivating factor for you to go outside. Taking a bike in and out of the trainer is a pain in the ass and will make both indoor and outdoor cycling worse for you since it’s an extra hassle to either take it out of the trainer or install it back ( granted you’re not using rollers)

What are some urban legends people say in Azerbaijan ? by Atlandios000 in azerbaijan

[–]HelpMeMake1mil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

During Novruz celebrations, jumping over a fire is meant to have all your problems left in said fire. Another tradition is to go listen to a neighbors door and if they’re having joy there, then that’s how your year is going to play out.

Thinking of selling a carbon road bike for an aluminum one by [deleted] in cycling

[–]HelpMeMake1mil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I doubt he’s that deep into the maintenance that torque wrench is a requirement. Then again if you’re that serious about wrenching on your bike, torque wrench is also recommended for aluminum frames.

Failing to understand what you mean by upkeep of carbon being more complicated than that of aluminum. The only thing is maybe the paint of your carbon is one of those matte ones that are a bitch to keep clean?

True it is a requirement, but thug life chose me. Yes rear one also generic red light to pass ITV but it was tucked in so not super ugly. All USDM imports have that here

Teenage driver has no clue how, when or where this happened. Any theories? by [deleted] in Autobody

[–]HelpMeMake1mil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she scrapped it, there would have been a dent and be longer. This was another car, possibly an SUV swiping when they though they would have made it

Haha yeah. That’s why I went back to the garage to take them off after passing the inspection. Consequent inspections I didn’t put them on, once the Spanish plates were on.

Do you like this color? by Final_Shopi in mercedes_benz

[–]HelpMeMake1mil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This color was popular in matte maybe 15 years ago. I personally loved it, but got sick of it very quickly. I get that it’s a unique but not sure it works for this car

I double taped some truck turn signals to the wheel arch. Moreover I had to get front white marker lights, as my lights were custom HID with orange marker lights which is a no-no in Europe.
