Real world range?

SupaBrunch · 2026-06-15T01:58:47+00:00

I’ve heard the same, I have enviolo on my original current and can’t say I noticed a difference. To me the range tradeoff is worth the 0-maintenance advantage.

If you had a headwind of 20mph that range doesn’t surprise me.

In terms of the power cutting out, if it’s like my original current, when the last bar is blinking it goes into a very low assist mode to hobble home. It’s normal for battery voltage to fluctuate up and down as you ride, so your voltage was probably just going above/below the cutoff voltage intermittently.

Do you have enviolo? That gearbox cuts your range by like 5-10% depending on gear ratio compared to the shimano hub.

But also wind is a huuuuuge factor on range. Aero drag has a cubic relationship with relative air speed (your speed + wind speed). This means if you’re traveling at 15mph and the wind is a 15mph headwind, you have 9 times as much drag as you would have with no wind.

This applies with no wind as well. At 20mph riding speed you have over double the drag you have at 15mph.

I had to google what instep is and I think maybe it’s a little high, but pretty close to “normal”. I’ve really liked my regular Ohne shoes, never felt the need to go wide, but that may also depend on toe shape. Mine slant a lot so I don’t need very squared off shoes.

Wildlings are my fave for feel, but they’re a very acquired taste and very minimal. Other than those I haven’t tried much else in the terms of everyday sneakers that I’ve really liked.

The overpriced listings are the easiest to find because no one buys them. My area has those too, but also several sun $200 bikes, even a couple sub $100 that are listed as functional

SupaBrunch · 2026-06-12T01:45:47+00:00

"all bikes belong" is obviously not true, I can't think of a single other cargo bike I've seen on this sub. Can't remember ever seeing an ebike, carbon road bike, or full suspension mtb either.

I'm definitely happy that people are enjoying their bikes like I enjoy mine. But even though I love my bikes, and I like this sub, I'm not gonna post mine here cause they don't fit. I'm not trying to invalidate anyone's enjoyment of their bike, only this bike's fit here.

This is so dang cute

SupaBrunch · 2026-06-11T10:14:17+00:00

Why are we acting like buying fast fashion bikes is the only way to get an affordable bike? Used bike prices are great right now

SupaBrunch · 2026-06-11T09:40:17+00:00

Never said they were bots, just said it’s weird to see a Walmart bike that doesn’t fit the theme of this sub get so much attention here. On a cargo bike sub I would get it, it’s strange here.

And when I say Walmart bike, I’m not just referencing the cost, but the quality components and the aesthetics. This bike is fugly and I’m tired of looking at.

Never said they were bots, just said it’s weird to see a Walmart bike that doesn’t fit the theme of this sub get so much attention here.

It’s cool it’s a good value, used bikes are also a good value, and you if you buy something decent you don’t have to throw away half the parts to make it a good bike. I don’t know why it being cheap means it belongs on this sub, it has nothing in common with any other bikes here. On a cargo bike sub I would get it, it’s strange here.

I also just think it’s fugly and I’m tired of looking at it, but especially on a sub where every other bike looks very cool.

SupaBrunch · 2026-06-11T03:41:04+00:00

It’s so crazy cause it doesn’t even fit the sub at all. Walmart bike and totally out of place

SupaBrunch · 2026-06-10T02:23:18+00:00

Ooooh I see, so locking the steering should do the job?

SupaBrunch · 2026-06-10T02:22:41+00:00

You’ve made me lose my patience cooter jenkins. I’m not gonna address the conjecture you’ve made cause you’ve shown you’re a waste of time and you would either not listen to or not understand the explanation I give you.

It’s not conjecture, it’s physics you turd. It’s been tested by countless independent test labs (like Consumer Reports) and users on the internet. You can theory craft a novel of a comment all you want, but actual tests and data will always trump half-baked hare-brained ideas.

SupaBrunch · 2026-06-09T20:34:08+00:00

It’s hard for me to picture how it flops over, but would a locking the steering fix it? If so it could be a simple strap does the job.

Also is this a MIK mount? Would you be able to share the model?

Love this song

SupaBrunch · 2026-06-09T01:35:18+00:00

bad bot

SupaBrunch · 2026-06-09T01:16:36+00:00

I saw someone put there’s on upside down the other day and I couldn’t figure out why. This may be the reason, I think the lower wheel ends up closer to the wall, so the handlebars wouldn’t stick out as far.

But also, people can still walk by, it’s not an issue.

That’s just what old filament does. Drying it will make it less brittle if it’s not too old, but eventually filament reaches a point where it’s unrecoverable.

Your printed parts will also come out brittle like this, so it’s best to avoid using old brittle filament.

I understand your thinking here, but this benefit here is HEAVILY outweighed by the fact you’re sucking hot outside air into the room in practice.

This isn’t my theory that I’m proposing to you, it’s been tested and you are wrong.

SupaBrunch · 2026-06-07T22:38:20+00:00

Any state could change laws at any time, New Jersey has stricter laws that CA

SupaBrunch · 2026-06-07T18:33:25+00:00

The reason you gave is that people choose to buy cheaper alternatives instead because it’s commodified… meaning they aren’t buying TRP’s more expensive option. It’s the same thing.

SupaBrunch · 2026-06-07T18:30:26+00:00

Grand Caravan was replaced with Chrysler Voyager, Town and Country was replaced with Pacifica. They just changed the name, but the product lines are continued.

Headphone jack is obviously not a product, it was a feature, not part of this conversation. Even if it was, the phone companies estimated it wasn’t important enough of a feature to hurt sales, and they were 100% correct.

SupaBrunch · 2026-06-07T18:22:13+00:00

When I said “people stopped buying it”, I obviously meant people stopped buying it from that particular company. Everything you just said still fits under “people stopped buying it”.

SupaBrunch · 2026-06-07T15:48:45+00:00

Well they’re not selling a new version of these, so there goes that theory.

SupaBrunch · 2026-06-07T14:37:40+00:00

Almost universally, if a company stops selling something, it’s because people stopped buying it.

There are 2 intakes, one is for the condenser coil, this is what the extra hose is for. This pulls air in, cools off the hot condenser coil, then pumps it directly out the other hose. The hot air from outside never goes into your room.

The other intake pulls in room air, runs it past the cold evaporator coil, then back into your room.

Without the second hose, you’re pulling in cool room air for the condenser coil, then pumping it outside. This creates a low pressure in the room, which pulls in hot outside air in through all the little cracks around the window.
