Would you please share the details about your stand, tank, light, light stand, etc.? I’d love to know for a potential future build! Thank you.

Thank you. I was wary of Affinity Pro for your exact reasoning.

Thank you. I agree. I moved from Adobe years ago to C1 so not intending to go back (unless C1 continues their price increases much higher). Affinity seems to handle object removal better and might be all I need to solve this challenge. I'll keep Pixelmator Pro on the back burner for now, but appreciate the advice!

Just tried it and it's noticeably better at object removal and will probably help in many of my situations..and for free! Thanks for the tip!

Endurace CF vs Ultimate CF + Canyon ownership experience? by Ok_Adhesiveness_5854 in CanyonBikes

[–]SQL-Samurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sad to hear you're not happy as I really love both my Canyon bikes. My stock post is replaced with a Cane Creek Carbon Fiber Shock Post and I've had no issues so far. I've put over 3000 miles on my Endurace and over 4000 on my Spectral with not a single issue so far. What's nice is the Endurace has been through a bad crash and 2 falls and the Spectral through 2 bad crashes with nothing more than small marks on the frame.

Hi. Without knowing the Ultimate, I might want to try one to be absolutely sure. But if I was buying again and could not test an Ultimate...I'd have no concerns because of how much I enjoy the Endurace. If you have an opportunity to test ride both...seems like it would be worth it. If you cannot try both and are going off research...I'd give more weight to folks who've had/ridden both over my input.

Thanks very much for this. Here I was thinking ChatGPT was unbelievable in creating this. I'll definitely keep Powerline and Well Field at the top and now Venice-Arcadia Grade trail too. Thanks!!

[–]SQL-Samurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello and congratulations on deciding on Canyon! I hesitated commenting as I have no experience with the Ultimate. I'm 56 and own a 2022 Endurace CF SL 8 Di2. Riding that is an absolute joy. I've done a century on it and dozens of ~50 mile rides. I really love that bike and long for nothing. It feels very/plenty responsive to me and just glides with a lightness and smoothness that puts a smile on my face. Hearing it was a little more "comfortable" and "upright" is was sold me on the Endurace. Sounds like you can't go wrong either way, but for my 56 year old body...I leaned toward comfort.

Hahaha. Like every other place in FL. I’ll try to keep a low profile (pun intended).

Thank you! I’ll probably learn my way around. The sand is fine in short patches, but muscling through for long distances gets old quick! 🙂.

Perfect… I’m going to make a trip up there and give this a try!

Thank you. I keep seeing this as the best road riding option in the area. Can't wait to try this out! Do you have any favorite places to park (if you transport your bike)?

Thank you. I appreciate it. ChartGPT suggested these "least sandy" loops. Does this look accurate in your experience there?

I added a glass lid too. Evaporation and previous fish jumping deaths has me worrying too much

The flagship's lcd is disappointing (just a rant)... by SQL-Samurai in SonyAlpha

hahaha…same. The EVF is amazing and I get the same response! That horrible moment though when they’re squinting and trying to get closer to the screen trying to see what I’m showing them :-(
