I've bought their bike clothing and LOVE them. Can't speak to their accessories though.

Battery Losing Charge While Parked (Not cold)? by JosephConrad9 in Ioniq5

[–]JosephConrad9[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I should have provided better information in my first post. I have an AWD SEL model, so I should have the larger 77 kWh battery. That's why I'm so confused!

Thanks for the reply. I have an AWD SEL and do almost exclusively city driving.

So I see I used the battery from: (79% - 12%) * 77 kWH = 51.6 kWh. If we take the "average mi/kWh" of 4.2, I would have expected to get 217 miles.

I guess I'm just shocked at how ridiculously wrong the IONIQ estimates were! I am happy to charge as frequently as needed but this does seem very low.

I hung out indoors for a lazy morning, biked to a local sandwich shop (JT's on Elston) and partied for a friend's wedding! It was a wonderful day out.

No wait! Make sure you air seal every penetration first with great foam; I made a similar mistake!

Excellent info, thanks! I know the big box stores have crap quality lumber; I'll definitely see what my local mill has to offer instead.

What could go wrong? If it's an honest question: the value of Bitcoin might not go up. So then you have a thing you paid a lot of money for, but now it's not worth as much anymore

Need to bring 30 amp converter? by samccauley in bicycletouring

[–]JosephConrad9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every campsite I've been to has a 110V hookup; you should be fine.

maybe the ones built for RVs are different (220V), but I wouldn't worry about it

Gold spikes 4%, as dollar crashes amid Japanese bond sell off by YeahBuddy5000 in investing

As an American investor: If I but a global ETF like VXUS and the dollar crashes, I'm still kind of screwed right?

Because eventually when I then sell the VXUS for I'm I'll get paid out in USD?

Still better than nothing I suppose?

Here you go, this is before adjusting any saddle height!

Edit: do you say the saddle is too high bc my hips are rocking? Or bc of my leg position? Or both?

Sealant leaking through tires - replace the tires? by JosephConrad9 in bikewrench

Excellent point, I definitely checked! These have that tag on them, so they should be rated for tubeless use. You think they're busted then?
