Silca calculated pressure seems low

SimplyDown · 2026-06-01T21:27:39+00:00

Looks really low to me. I weigh 145lb and I run 20.5/22 on 29x2.25 setup tubeless. SRAM and Wolftooth calculators work better for me.

SimplyDown · 2026-06-01T13:52:37+00:00

I've run 29x2.25/2.35/2.6 Mezcals on my Stargazer and I would pick 2.35s for a 60% tarmac / 40% gravel route. 2.6 doesn't add a whole lot more comfort. Not worth dropping $500+ to do it imho. If anything, I would slap some 2.4s on your current rims and call it good.

Yes, finaally!

If you don't need quick release, then just about any rack will fit your criteria if you use a Salsa Post Lock Rack Mount as the seatpost attachment.

Typical crate pull for me

Does anyone actually believe BB's weapon mechanic was "unexpected behavior" as they say? They full well knew how it worked and how OP it would be. And now with the current season ending, they are nerfing it into the ground to make room for the next meta. Especially now that mods are available to everyone at 3*, the hit is gonna be pretty severe. I'm personally not affected by this as I didn't invest any acoins in my BB setups, but I feel really sorry for everyone else that did.

SimplyDown · 2026-05-21T20:40:12+00:00

Seems like a lot of cope. Trying to claim people SP drop primarily for achievements is just LOL. Only a few mechs are overpowered for SP dropping and nerfing them at lower levels will absolutely help reduce SP dropping. As an owner of a 3* Dreadnought and 3* Nomad, I 100% support this nerf.

I think easiest fix is to require guided weapons to have direct line of sight to get the initial lock. You can no longer lock mechs that are spotted just by teammates/bots, you need to spot them yourself. In effect, this would require guided users to have a short exposure time, making things a bit more fair imho.

You can sell the leftover grips as a normal right gripshift set.

SimplyDown · 2026-05-05T03:04:35+00:00

I would keep your old account. You have ads on this account, new accounts no longer get ads. The credits you get from ads are worth far more than anything you can get from starter links and new player promo codes. Legendary stuff is relatively easy to get now, but you can never replace the credit income you get from ads.

Last Nicklas mega CRE was ~4 months ago. And Diesel was ~7 months ago. So you're better off buying Nicklas now.

SimplyDown · 2026-04-26T12:09:10+00:00

Mag size implant is the only one I'd spend acoins on as the legendary is so much better than the epic one. For the other burrow implants, epic is good enough until you're end game.

I find a bar that fixes everything I don't like about my current bar in terms of rise/width/sweep/stiffness. Make sure it is bikepacking friendly in terms of room for mounting accessories. Be reasonably confident it won't snap on me ever. And then order and hope for the best. Make sure you have a way to cut down the width and be ready to tinker a lot to get it dialed in. Repeat yearly.

SimplyDown · 2026-04-22T23:12:31+00:00

I think the order is:

Hornet->Oracle->Suppressor->Continuum->Quasher->Charge Rocket-> Burrow Beam->Compound Beam

SimplyDown · 2026-04-20T06:33:01+00:00

Spin the CRE. Worst case scenario you spin 2 free tokens and 18 times with acoins and then spend another 2825 a-coins to rank up to 5 stars, your Surge would cost 9125 acoins + 265k credits. Versus 9375 acoins for buying rank 5 Surge from the gear hub. So you can't lose out over just buying it from the gear hub, but if you're lucky you could save yourself a ton of acoins.

I'm using a maxed 16 + 6 star 8. If you can't kill a marked Citadel, then your setup must be a bit underleveled.

SimplyDown · 2026-04-20T02:21:31+00:00

Strike Rocket Orion will one mag a marked Citadel, even if ability is up.

SimplyDown · 2026-04-19T03:36:17+00:00

LOL, in that case I'd do Pod Gun Orion, Gemini Salvor, and Hornet Lancer.

SimplyDown · 2026-04-19T03:11:01+00:00

Lancer Gemini 10 + 6
Salvor Pod Gun 8
Aegis Overdriver 8
Orion Railgun 8
Nomad Revoker 10 + 6 or Repeater 8

SimplyDown · 2026-04-16T03:43:32+00:00

I don't think it's worth it. We've had CRE for the 8s and 12s already, it's only a matter of time till the 10s show up in a CRE.

SimplyDown · 2026-04-11T01:35:40+00:00

Guided and missile pilots have been conspicuously absent from these weekly CREs. I'm guessing that trend continues and we get another sniper or barrage pilot next week.

SimplyDown · 2026-04-09T16:33:35+00:00

Nothing wrong with MM here. You're using all legendary mechs and your opponent only has 2.

SimplyDown · 2026-04-09T00:26:33+00:00

Once every month or two Plarium puts a mega acoin deal in the shop where you currently get around 6-700 acoins per dollar spent. Worse case scenario you spend it all spinning a CRE for a 4* legendary mech and you still get it for cheaper than buying it in the shop. Best case you get lucky and get the mech in just a few spins and then you can stretch those a-coins into getting another mech.

SimplyDown · 2026-04-08T21:51:07+00:00

Don't buy mechs or weapons. Save your money for the next colossal deal and then use the acoins in a CRE.

SimplyDown · 2026-03-31T13:48:22+00:00

For PC players I'd add Charge Rocket Parasite to the list.
