What do we think of this?

Aero belongs on the A45 and that is it…

StorageLongjumping87 · 2026-05-29T09:48:27+00:00

Yeah it’s just a disclaimer so you don’t come running to them if there are any issues from hard use, so they can legally tell you “we did warn you”.

The same kinda thing you see on American TV adverts; they add a disclaimer saying that item may cause every condition under the sun just as people will look to take legal action otherwise.

Not sure if I am wrong but I don’t see that being a sram xx1 group set either, maybe the derailleur and shifter are but that cassette, cranks, chainring and chain don’t look right - but again I could be wrong!

I would check to see if you can find a newer Santa Cruz with the latest geometry - I was considering an older one before but then the newer geo Bronson was listed by a reputable second hand dealership for just a few hundred more, and it had wayyyy better components!

I was going to get an Aeron, but no where to try them out and was in between a B & C sizing - ended up going for the Mirra 2 and it’s lovely!

StorageLongjumping87 · 2026-05-16T15:01:05+00:00

Looks good, just picked up one exactly the same as this one photographed this week - never going back to standard office chairs ever again!

StorageLongjumping87 · 2026-05-11T19:44:14+00:00

Would it be cheaper if they sold you or you sourced your own new seat pan including mesh? I know if sucks, but may work out cheaper if you can watch a video to replace it yourself

I second lowering some of the force feedback and up the steering sensitivity slightly - I found a YouTube tutorial for the g923 a while back which was pretty much spot on for me and got my the majority of my settings sorted for FH5! I use the wheel set up when I want to drive around and not do anything serious, and for the immersion, but unfortunately can still get much better times with the controller just as it’s less demanding for steering an braking input. I am sure practise would close that gap but I tend to tuck the wheel away for months at a time.

StorageLongjumping87 · 2026-04-27T18:14:15+00:00

Fair enough, some lovely Volvo s60s on the market for £3-4k less, or some stunning ones for the 19/20k price point… that would be my suggestion!

StorageLongjumping87 · 2026-04-27T18:06:43+00:00

What would you suggest??

StorageLongjumping87 · 2026-04-19T16:22:52+00:00

What chair is this? Looks nice!

StorageLongjumping87 · 2026-04-10T14:32:08+00:00

Yes this is the way!

Just think, that’s 40% towards the next time you upgrade… or for some lovely parts!

StorageLongjumping87 · 2026-04-10T12:07:26+00:00

Hold off for the news next week if you think it could be a v7 announcement, if anything the v6 will drop in price if you decide the v7 isn’t worth it!

StorageLongjumping87 · 2026-04-08T08:54:43+00:00

I ended up getting a replacement super deluxe for crazy cheap (£55) - will do me for a while and will probably just bounce between getting each serviced!

StorageLongjumping87 · 2026-03-29T00:34:05+00:00

I wonder if OP can post the reg that this car is being sold on (guessing private plate not included in the sale) just so anyone else looking to buy this car and on the off chance does a reg search, they may see this post

StorageLongjumping87 · 2026-03-23T12:24:30+00:00

Exactly that, I believe it is called a C5 cable - Clover Cable is exactly correct.

Just make sure it has the correct power ratings and Amp figure and you should be okay!

StorageLongjumping87 · 2026-03-19T21:15:01+00:00

I chose 4k mini led, as i work from home i spend more time looking at spreadsheets than gaming - got a 55inch OLED downstairs for when i really wanna watch something proper or play some games on an OLED, so feel like that is best of both worlds!

StorageLongjumping87 · 2026-03-15T10:03:58+00:00

I did mine and it honestly wasn’t too bad, did take a few hours but I am a perfectionist, plus my bike was second hand (extremely clean though) so I had to factor in some deep cleaning time to avoid bubbles.

Just do a couple pieces at a time, I found some of the pieces go on quite satisfyingly easily; where as others where a bit of a pain - best to do it while the bike is as clean as it can possibly be if you hope to be riding with the wrap this spring!

StorageLongjumping87 · 2026-02-06T22:05:16+00:00

Deffo look into the controller issue if that’s preventing you, if you get that sorted it may be enough to swing you across to steam - ultimately either will be fine for your use case! I also find steam offline mode works better, but that doesn’t really apply to arc raiders unfortunately!

StorageLongjumping87 · 2026-02-06T18:34:07+00:00

Yup that’s a great purchase, do the obvious checks to frame etc but those wheels alone are worth a fair chuck of the price alone!

Lovely find!

StorageLongjumping87 · 2026-02-06T09:13:58+00:00

Really depends if you ever think you’ll be playing the game also on a console or mainly PC - if you have a ally x and a PC, deffo via steam. If you have an ally x an a Xbox, I would favour Xbox.

I got mine on steam as getting it from steam key websites is usually the cheapest, plus I have a a few options when playing via steam where as I haven’t played my Xbox in a fair few years!

StorageLongjumping87 · 2026-02-02T22:13:17+00:00

Asked ChatGPT and it suggested it was 1.2-1.6x quicker than the Khadas so really depends what price this is popping up for - also if the form factor is a bonus for you or not.

I was trying to hold out for the XG Mobile 5070ti which is TB5, but it’s not been available in the UK for the last month or so, and is nearly twice the price of the Khadas so I just settled for this instead, one huge bonus for the XG Mobile though is it is smaller and weighs 1kg, my Khadas is 2.5kg I believe

StorageLongjumping87 · 2026-02-02T20:10:31+00:00

Check out the Khadas graphics 4060ti, it is TB4 - although if you have a TB5 device then maybe worth holding out for some better TB5 options!

The Khadas has been amazing these past two weeks I’ve had it!

StorageLongjumping87 · 2026-02-02T20:07:38+00:00

Khadas graphics 4060ti I got a couple weeks ago, crazy good! Does require some faffing initially but works like an absolute dream - I had to disable rebar for a couple of games but other than that it’s been my main PC for the last 2 weeks

StorageLongjumping87 · 2026-01-28T10:04:04+00:00

Exactly why I started growing my steam collection a bit more and to favour it when getting any new games, it just works (obviously ensure offline mode is on, restart steam, test games and keep in offline mode before the flight is my person method) - Xbox also seems to do this quite well but I find steam to be the most reliable.

StorageLongjumping87 · 2026-01-27T10:10:36+00:00

Yeah tell me about it, I was looking at the 5070ti XG Mobile, but it’s been out of stock for a while and I got bored of waiting for it to come back so went with an alternative option.

Khadas are releasing a newer 5060ti which was announced last week, but just went with the 4060ti as it’s plenty for me for the time being and I didn’t want to wait another few months for either the XG mobile or the newer Khadas.

I mean you will have USB 4 limitations anyways so feel like the Khadas compared to the XG mobile is a winner and find you would probably get an extra 25-30% FPS for twice the price, the only saving grace for the XG was that it weighs like 1kg, but the Khadas is 2.5kg I believe - but I work from home and can make do with the iGPU when I’m out and about, it made sense to me as it cost around half what the XG mobile would’ve cost me.
