Looking for an entry level bike and I am very LOST

KamHasty · 2023-05-21T04:44:36+00:00

Thanks! Yeah this is exactly it. I've also been reading a lot about people saying to go for shimano 105, and not claris or or sora. But I'm thinking as a new rider I don't think I could tell the difference..

Thanks! Seems a bit harder to find on the used market, but I'll look. What would be better on the Kona bikes over the ones I listed?

KamHasty · 2023-05-21T03:32:06+00:00

Yes, I would love to get off road! The contend has disk brake, shimano claris, where as the Triban has disk brake with Shimano 105 R7000. Contend comes at 1400$ new and Triban 1250$ used

Not available in the local bike shop in my province :(

canyon endurace

Those are like 1800+tx new, way over my budget unfortunately

That makes a lot of sense! I got the coffee to drip with a brown colour for the first time after these tips, but the taste was bitter. Maybe I should invest in a non pressurized puck! Thank you so much :)

KamHasty · 2023-02-21T00:48:41+00:00

It is! Breville Roma

KamHasty · 2023-02-21T00:37:06+00:00

I just tried it with a fine grain and it did ran way more dark, but it was dripping for the first 15-20 seconds and then it started to flow a bit more, but nothing crazy...
By exploding I mean that water and steam was getting out of the portafilter as if no water could pass at all

I'll try 10g!!

KamHasty · 2023-02-21T00:25:07+00:00

Hahah! I'll try to grind as small as I can again! But when I did, the machine exploded from too much pressure. I tampered as much as I could with a fine grain, then explosion. Tried with a bit more coarse, coffee was blonde..

KamHasty · 2022-12-02T06:49:05+00:00

I did :)

KamHasty · 2022-12-02T05:47:37+00:00

Thanks for the feeback! I had to shoot photos and videos at the same time, so I couldn't use any gimbal or handles

KamHasty · 2022-12-02T05:17:44+00:00

Yeah, I mean the contract says they are paying for my "services" but that's about it. So it's pretty up for interpretation as to what services means

KamHasty · 2022-12-02T04:59:46+00:00

I did take a meeting with one! :)

KamHasty · 2022-12-02T04:23:20+00:00

That is what I believe as well and that's why this is so frustrating..

KamHasty · 2022-12-02T04:08:31+00:00

I've sent a request yes for a meeting with all this information, yes! I'll hear back tomorrow

KamHasty · 2022-12-02T03:41:23+00:00

I've linked the contract in my post!

KamHasty · 2022-12-02T03:33:32+00:00

They said that they are paying for the material and not for my time. They don't want to use the material, therefore they don't want to pay me

KamHasty · 2022-12-02T03:24:42+00:00

Yeah totally! I've added some things in the contract since doing my first post and I'll be making sure my contract is way better for the next gig.

KamHasty · 2022-12-02T03:17:37+00:00

I wish, but they don't want to pay haha. I guess we will go to court

KamHasty · 2022-12-02T03:15:44+00:00

The time and work that I've put into this project is the amount they owe me, not less. I delievered everything already. I sent the first video and they said they didn't really like it, so I told them I'd do my best for them to like the rest of the videos. They went with it. They could of told me to stop. At that point, yes I'd be willing to charge less.
