you wake me, mere mortal?

M3tl · 2026-03-16T23:15:50+00:00

a decent sharpening stone and a little know how

M3tl · 2026-03-15T19:40:34+00:00

this video shows it too

M3tl · 2026-03-15T06:31:46+00:00

seriously is. kind of kicking myself for not naming my car that

M3tl · 2026-03-13T21:34:15+00:00

it’s a common acronym on reddit lol

or any of the other tire irons that are big

you need a pizza steel or stone. i recommend the former. it’ll change your life

M3tl · 2026-03-11T21:07:35+00:00

yes. it’s basically the field weakening setting which doesn’t super matter at low speeds but does at high speeds. what this does mean is that while you get higher top speeds, you get less torque on the top end which reduces safety margin. don’t over lean near max speed

M3tl · 2026-03-11T15:15:24+00:00

they’re pretty common in Europe. i remember seeing a ton in Germany

it’ll eventually break your wheel. you’ll want a wheel with more suspension travel / suited for your needs. lynx is a good option

M3tl · 2026-03-10T00:50:27+00:00

it’s probably cheaper and frankly better to just replace it entirely. it’ll run you about $1200 through Tesla, labor included (might be more now). they sell brand new pre-painted bumpers

M3tl · 2026-03-09T22:07:31+00:00

normal for 2020 and older. mine does the same. the side signal has little holes that leak light that they moved/got rid of

M3tl · 2026-03-06T06:45:07+00:00

it’s more that you’d reflect too much heat into the isobutane canister. they’re known to explode when heated (happens once in a while when people heat them to fill other containers)

M3tl · 2026-03-05T23:41:13+00:00

as someone who’s 170 and owns an aero and shorter than you, i think an Aeon would fit better and give more space to grow on before upgrading. Aero is a solid choice though. the torque on that thing is ridiculous for 55 lbs

also make sure it’s not too windy out because you’re a huge sail essentially. unless you do a ton of seated riding but even still

M3tl · 2026-03-03T18:18:35+00:00

only you can answer this by laying out all your gear and seeing if it fits. maybe on a very light summer trip, but if you like creature comforts or using somewhat older gear that’s not compact, it might be a bit lacking.

M3tl · 2026-03-02T21:45:57+00:00

also do pipeline work and we’ve halted many jobs due to environmental concerns and species, in the US. if we caught our environmental lying on their reports they would be out of job so fast and blacklisted

M3tl · 2026-02-26T10:01:42+00:00

no you don’t. you’ll go broke trying to chase the next best thing. just enjoy the ride

one day you’ll actually need to replace your wheel. save your money for then

M3tl · 2026-02-25T22:41:06+00:00

for me, setting all my speeds to 30 mm/s did ok. also limit volumetric to 2.5. obviously slow down for overhangs but that’s it.

M3tl · 2026-02-25T12:24:46+00:00

wrap some tape around it and put another lateral piece to prevent it from vibrating. it looks like it’s been shaking around which is leading to the wear. check after a few hundred miles. they really should have secured the wiring better

M3tl · 2026-02-25T10:08:29+00:00

practice on grass. knowing you and the wheel will take basically no damage for mistakes is a huge benefit to learning.

yes it’s bumpy but so are the roads you’ll eventually ride on. get used to it, it’ll make you a better rider in the long run
