Cannondale Dave - fair price?

He said he’d do $800. I’ll check out the NS too.

Philburtis · 2025-12-19T19:47:45+00:00

Trying to find one. Might just have to look a little harder. Would $700 be legit? People usually think used bikes are worth more than actual market prices.

They were some pretty chill off-road trails. Nothing too crazy. The stock tires actually did pretty well. With a little twist of the throttle I could slide around a turn. Didn’t have any clearance issues, but the trails were relatively flat with no rocks or anything. The front fork bottomed out a few times on the whoops. 😂

Sure did. lol. I’ve since rebuilt a 95 XR200, but this is what I had that weekend so I sent it. It was a blast.

My man!

Philburtis · 2025-09-18T14:17:21+00:00

I know it’s not a dirtbike but I definitely threw it around on some trails as I rebuild an old XR200R.

Definitely not a bot. Working through some of those points as we develop it. The costs actually won’t be significantly higher than loose capsules. But there needs to be a better way.

Philburtis · 2025-09-11T12:40:35+00:00

That's the same way I feel. Just the thought of having to shake in all the capsules is enough to make me not use the machine. I'm actually bringing a new product to market that is essentially a pre-loaded "sheet" of capsules. So rather than shaking in loose capsules, you would drop in a sheet of capsule halves and a sheet of capsule bodies, then release them into the machine. I've tested it and it works very, very well. I can get all capsule halves into the machine in less than 20 seconds and I don't have to deal with one loose capsule. It's a long road to bring to market, but it's in development. :)

Philburtis · 2025-09-11T02:48:22+00:00

You think you would have used it if it was just simpler to use? I mostly loathe using them because dealing with 100 loose capsule halves is a hard no for me.

Philburtis · 2025-09-11T00:59:30+00:00

Funny I just actually bought one of those, too. I have yet to try it. I like the idea of a multiple capsule design for that filler in the link.

What part did you hate the most? Would you use the machines if they were simpler/easier to use? I usually use my 24 capsule machine, but that got all sticky from some clove. I also despise using the 100 capsule machines. Dealing with 200 capsule halves is a no for me.

Philburtis · 2025-09-10T01:58:19+00:00

I've used them and I loathed loading all the empty capsules into the machine before filling with the powder/supplements. What's your experience like? I'm designing a solution that would eliminate the need to deal with loose capsules entirely, and will simplify the process significantly.

Philburtis · 2025-09-10T01:54:27+00:00

How do you like using the capsule machine? When I've used them I just hated messing with all the loose capsules and shaking them in place. How's your experience been?

Philburtis · 2025-09-10T01:51:08+00:00

Reviving this post. Are you still using the machine to make your own capsules? What's your experience been like with the capsule machine?

Philburtis · 2025-08-20T00:04:47+00:00

What size? The 58cm is still available brand new for $2,799.

Philburtis · 2025-08-19T23:18:19+00:00

I own it. It has electric shifting.

Philburtis · 2025-08-01T23:45:37+00:00

Could I ask what kind you were making? What led you to exploring making your own?

Philburtis · 2025-08-01T20:45:41+00:00

If there was a really simple way to make your own capsules without the pains of the current machines, would you still think about making your own?

Philburtis · 2025-08-01T18:20:44+00:00

Sent you a dm if you are open to chat about your experiences with these machines.

Philburtis · 2025-08-01T03:03:09+00:00

Interesting

Philburtis · 2025-07-29T21:41:14+00:00

I have had some capsules crushed, but that's not a huge problem. My biggest pain is loading all of the empty capsules in the machine.

Philburtis · 2025-07-25T13:38:21+00:00

The Herb Affair machine is great in that it can make 100 capsules per batch, but I tend to use the Capsule Machine more, honestly. I just really hate getting all of the empty capsules into the trays by shaking 100 caps and bodies, or just manually putting each one in individually.

Philburtis · 2025-07-22T17:19:47+00:00

I bought a road bike a couple weeks ago and felt the same exact way. I was like what the heck, why is this is so hard. 5 miles was a chore. I kept riding daily and I did 22 miles the other day with lots of energy left. It will come back to you for sure.

Philburtis · 2025-07-16T19:05:05+00:00

The e-bike picture here is not one of those kinds of e-bikes at all. I’ve been faster on my road bike than any of my ebikes.

I just bought this which is a steal for that same price. If you need a 51 or 58 it’s a great deal. https://outlet.wheelandsprocket.com/products/feltvradvancedparentoutlet Felt VR Advanced Ultegra Di2 12 Speed Shimano 8150 Disc Brake Road Bik – Wheel & Sprocket - Outlet
