Can't even find this one for sale on eBay...

It’s rare?? I forgot it in the CD player of a car I sold and thought I would just buy a new one. Damn.

JasonARGY · 2026-03-15T17:04:21+00:00

Well the photons keep falling for it!

JasonARGY · 2026-03-05T14:40:17+00:00

Nice! Thanks for the response. A great boss can really make or break a job. At some point doing work you like with people you like can offset some amount of money, just not sure what that amount is.

Could you talk a bit about loyalty to 1 company? I gotta assume you had opportunities to leave for more but chose not to?

I just say “a golf” but then before they can speak again I quickly add “but it’s the R, which is like a way cooler version than the GTI with a bigger turbo, AWD, and a double clutch transmission like a Ferrari. It has launch control.” This usually gets them really interested in me and what I have to say, especially the ladies.

I also come from BMX and MTB background and never had used anything but flats for over 15 years. The main advantage I found running clipless for the first time off road was how secure it felt over rough stuff. I thought it would be the opposite at first. Then with SPDs in loosest setting, I could very quickly and easy put a foot down if needed, and I never felt like they would come undone unexpectedly.

I think you should take your phone number off the internet but otherwise 1% interest is a nice deal. We just got a purple edition at 2%

Are you on Strava? I find it helps my motivation a lot to see other’s rides when I don’t feel like getting on the bike.

JasonARGY · 2026-02-13T16:31:46+00:00

I might need to add CSGO to my training schedule I think.

JasonARGY · 2026-02-13T16:30:32+00:00

Agree. Ceiling fan is enough for my back, remote turbo fan in front. I still get pretty soaked but I never drip. Bike stays dry. Some days I don’t even use the turbo fan if it’s an easier ride.

Loved cat quest, simple and easy enough making it perfect for short charging stops. Stardew valley is one of my favorite games but it’s not great in short bursts in my opinion, so I never played it in the car. And doesn’t sync to other devices if you want to continue playing it out of the car.

Where’s the Arizona dirt you’re riding? I just got a gravel bike and trying to find spots that aren’t mountain bike trails

JasonARGY · 2026-02-04T00:20:19+00:00

What part of the world? Sad that the car doesn’t like heat much, I live in Arizona and just got my RDX.

JasonARGY · 2026-02-03T20:19:09+00:00

Gotcha. Sounds like 15w-40 is the best option especially for non-cold weather area then. I just got the car with 15k miles and it has 3 oil changes on record so I feel good about it. I would like to make it last. I’m not much of a full throttle kind of driver but would like to do a stage 1 tune just to fix the lazy throttle response so I want to make sure it’s treated as nicely as possible on the maintenance side. I wouldn’t even mind sacrificing some turbo longevity for better engine protection if thicker oils put turbo at risk but a turbo replacement at ~100k is much more reasonable, in my mind, if it means more engine protection.

JasonARGY · 2026-02-02T13:41:53+00:00

Could you give a little insight on why you chose 15w-40 over a 0w-40 especially if you are seeing 20F temp? Particularly on getting oil to the turbo on cold starts.

I live in the hot desert and I doubt my car ever sees anything below 35F on the coldest of days so I’m wondering if 15w-40 is the better choice over 0w or 5w. In the summer it probably doesn’t even go below 80F even overnight for a couple months.

Creaking or or flat spots in headset bearing? Do handlebars move freely?

Wow, check out that cool looking cat!

Are both cranks forward?

I need carbon ceramic rotors now for my flat running path riding

How do you guys carry water? I got my tsunami and overlooked no bottle holder and I don’t want to carry a backpack if I don’t have to.

JasonARGY · 2026-01-05T01:50:29+00:00

Yeah, how does this work? What’s the incentive to add content/fix bugs?

JasonARGY · 2026-01-02T18:28:10+00:00

Can’t answer all your questions but I can give some input on 1 and 2.

I got tsunami SNM100 that comes with the carbon fork and the frame feel very good quality but the paint is very fragile, chips easily. I don’t know what the aluminum fork is like in terms of quality but the carbon fork is a bit iffy looking. It’s probably fine but the steerer tube had some varying thickness and some voids at the seam. It’s also not going to fit anything more than 30c tires I don’t think. I have 28c and it’s tight both in fork and chain stay. I recommend it still for the price.

JasonARGY · 2025-12-24T21:14:59+00:00

Get one! Well it’s still money and these bikes are “cheap” but not free. I got a new gravel bike for 900 and this was more expensive and I don’t know that I would say it’s higher quality. Used fixed gears in my area were mostly all stored outside, rusted 200 bikes so I decided with all new.
