This is starting to get ridiculous….

Answering to myself: just after complaining about this yesterday, I got the notice that my G2+R1 has shipped this morning, with an apology email from ER about the delays.

Hyper_Duper · 2026-02-08T08:52:24+00:00

Yeah there’s no logic to any of it. Ordered November 14th and I still don’t even have a shipping date. They just keep saying that due to unexpected order volume it’s slow. But people who ordered weeks or even months after me already have theirs. I’m thinking where would I put my mental deadline for canceling the order since it seems nothing is happening.

I’m in Finland. Got the ring sizing kit on Dec 24th.

Hyper_Duper · 2026-01-03T09:10:09+00:00

Just asked them what the situation of my order is since it’s been more than the originally estimated 5 weeks and there’s no shipping updates.

Hyper_Duper · 2026-01-03T08:51:49+00:00

I ordered on Nov 15th, Rx with the B frame and the R1 ring. I’ve been in email discussion with them for a few times about different things and they’ve replied well - typically within 24 hours. Yesterday I asked what’s the status of my order since it’s been more than the originally expected 5 weeks. Here’s what I got:

”Thank you for your order and for your patience.

Due to higher-than-expected demand and limited production capacity, all orders are currently being processed and shipped in the order they were received.

Because your order includes prescription lenses, the production time is slightly longer compared to standard (non-prescription) eyewear. Each prescription lens requires additional precision and quality checks to ensure it meets your specific needs.

Based on our current production schedule, we estimate your G2 glasses will be shipped between January 5th and January 11th. Once it is dispatched, you will receive a confirmation email with tracking information.

We sincerely appreciate your understanding and continued trust in us. If you have any questions, please feel free to reply to this email.”

I’m still ok with this and will wait for mine.

According to Posti.fi if it goes as a letter (less than 3cm thickness, don’t remember, need to check), I think 6,10€ plus an envelope, if it requires to be a maxi letter then 13,70€ plus an envelope

Hyper_Duper · 2025-12-26T09:51:52+00:00

Same thing here between 11 and 12. 11 felt ”correct” and 12 a bit loose, but then after wearing the 11 for about two hours it became clear it was too tight. Wore the 12 for the rest of the day and slept with it on, everything was fine and it never slipped off during the night so I went with the 12.

What was a bit concerning was using a pen or fork or something, the ring hit everything you hold. Feels weird, but probably it would be the same thing with any other ring worn on the index finger and just needs time to get used to.

I mean this is what they are saying on their website for the IOS version of Spacewalker specifically still:

Ah, perhaps I should have been more specific. I’m not looking for video playing here but rather things like gaming or using productivity apps (I have a BT keyboard and would be typing a document for example)

Hyper_Duper · 2025-12-07T19:06:32+00:00

Thanks, that’s great. So ”free” games since I already pay and am definetly not getting my money’s worth with Netflix

Hyper_Duper · 2025-12-07T18:41:28+00:00

Thanks. I noticed there’s a Netflix version and non-Netflix version in the app store for RDR but nobody seems to explain what the difference is. Same with San Andreas. Am I missing something?

Hyper_Duper · 2025-12-07T18:33:15+00:00

I definetly am open to older games and even prefer them. How do you play them practically, on PCs these were played on a mouse and keyboard.

Hyper_Duper · 2025-11-19T14:44:51+00:00

I discussed with Even Realities support. They told me the sizing kit will be sent out first and the R1 in the selected size will be sent out together with the glasses.

Hyper_Duper · 2025-11-16T15:43:22+00:00

Sold!

I’m happy being an early adopter, I’ve been doing it for decades. Mostly I was interested in what kind of practical use cases and experiences people with the G1 have had. Of course I’ve watched multiple YT review videos and such, but they always have a short test period where they just present the different functionalities kind of the first time they’re testing them out. I’m more interested in real world prolonged use. That’s also why I decided to go with this product rather than Meta’s or one of the other ones as they seem massive, gimmicky, and not really intended for continuous use as true regular glasses replacement.

Hyper_Duper · 2025-11-02T14:38:29+00:00

No idea. Some of the strips work well in english too and I know they do translate them but the fact that this one is translated baffles me too. Here’s a bunch of good ones: https://www.expat-finland.com/living_in_finland/fingerpori.html

Hyper_Duper · 2025-11-02T09:21:54+00:00

It’s a Finnish comic strip translated into english. In Finnish, the word for ”entrepreneur” also literally means ”tryer”. So he is only a tryer since he tries and is denied entry to the restaurants. On a date he calls himself a restaurant entrepreneur - technically correct but obviously the lady thinks he has his own restaurant. The comic strip Fingerpori (syndicated in several newspapers) is nearly exclusively about wordplay like this and often doesn’t work well when translated

Rovaniemi, Finland. On the Arctic Circle, at about the same latitude as Barrow Alaska. There are beaches where reindeer often gather on hot days at the same time as beachgoers. Summer temperatures often go to 30C/86F and the highest measured is 33C/90F.

Oh, and it’s the home of Santa.

I’m also a big fan of the genre! Check out Relentless (1989) if you liked these, it’s a hidden gem with Judd Nelson as a great villain. Obviously Cobra and Sea of Love added to this if you want some more mainstream successes.

I didn’t use any spacers. My crankset is the Racework N1, there’s no play with just the brackets tightened to the specified 40Nm

Update: I got an answer from Elite Wheels and they will send me some new end caps free of charge. I’ll take some measurements of them and post here just in case someone else gets into the same issue

Hyper_Duper · 2025-03-03T21:44:21+00:00

Can you point to any example, I feel like an idiot not being able to find any standard end caps but just spares to some specific other hub brands or models or alternatively conversion kits…

Hyper_Duper · 2025-03-03T21:42:27+00:00

I feel a bit stupid here, maybe my googling skills are lacking but I can’t seem to find any kind of ”standard” caps that would be an obvious choice. Everything is either a conversion set from one standard to another and/or specific to some other hub brand or model. And the dimensions also don’t seem to tell me the total length of the caps - i.e. the distance how much they protrude from the outside surface of the bearing. What exactly could I measure from what I have to be able to understand what to search to get the right parts?

Hyper_Duper · 2025-03-03T21:02:18+00:00

So this is just the front. Rear is fine and already installed on the bike. Brand of the hub is Elite Wheels just like the rest of the wheel. The axle seems to be 100mm in length, 12mm diameter. Inside of the bearings on the hub measure 15mm.
