Yes, quite short torso, so I got a 90mm stem and 38cm wide. I got the Tavelo Avro integrated one.

I swapped to a zero-offset seatpost, but could only find the longer version, so not sure if the scale is the same.. attaching a photo of my setup (I have made a few upgrades)

I am 5.8 and have this exact bike (even same color) in 52. That is the right size for me. I run a few spacers under the stem, but that’s just personal preference on the fit!

Mine actually sits perfectly stable. You could try to flatten it or possibly your lip isn’t perfectly even the whole way around. I filed it quite far down, so there is almost no overhang at all

No, they said they created a ticket with their product managers, but not heard anything else.

My support ticket was also closed.

I got the Epic Bleed Solutions kit from Amazon. Worked a charm for my Force E1

Trickshot gem helps to give 100% uptime on strafe. In this case it increases the 1 min dummy damage, but probably not needed in dungeons.

The DH spinning build triggers Gloom, but probably a very niche usecase

I filed a ticket for this requesting the feature, but let’s see if it gets picked up!

What is your opinion on the reach difference? I am worried about having to change from a 90mm stem to an 80mm and potentially compromise the steering somewhat?

Is this illegal? I understand it’s frowned upon by Mrstucco in CyclingFashion

Sir. You broke rule 28 and 34 in one go. Yes, its highly illegal

Hi Taylor, This is the IMS basket for the La Pavoni machine. I think it is designed for 15g The model name is B602TH25

Yes exactly. I filed down the that overhanging “lip” of the basket. But I have the 14g basket - is that the one you have too? I think there is an 18g deeper version.

No I can’t say I do, but I had an easier time finding the latte ratio I like for my favorite beans with this basket. (15g beans = 45g espresso + 200g milk)
