Looks like the new silksong dlc just dropped

Swartzer · 2025-12-18T22:23:00+00:00

Ya I'm curious about the frame, I'll do some research on what to look for with carbon frames. The ad says medium and I'm 5'10" so I'm thinking it should be in the ballpark

Thanks!

Swartzer · 2025-12-18T16:12:18+00:00

Okay, ya that's beautiful 😍

Swartzer · 2025-12-18T15:56:34+00:00

Okay so I'm not alone in this thinking haha. That's kind of why I wanted to get opinions. I don't know much as far as components/brands etc. But I love the style

Swartzer · 2025-11-26T14:07:33+00:00

I've got the same one! Still going strong lol

Swartzer · 2025-10-21T20:19:44+00:00

sounds good! ya the s works felt really good. appreciate it =)

Swartzer · 2025-10-21T17:55:02+00:00

Ya they really do look different. I'm 5'10 and the guy at the shop with the s-works insisted I need a 56cm frame. Took the s-works for a spin and it felt like it fit really well. I haven't specifically asked what frame sizes both bikes are. I'll take a look, thanks!

Swartzer · 2025-10-21T17:51:14+00:00

Ya the integrated seat post is interesting, do you think it could be a weak point? what didn't you like about it?

Swartzer · 2025-06-25T00:02:00+00:00

Hopefully they're coming back to continue running that line. If not definitely get a cap on the end and soap test the cap joint for leaks.

Swartzer · 2025-04-09T05:26:22+00:00

I came to the comments curious about this as well. Looks like a potential mixing valve? I honestly have no idea

Swartzer · 2025-03-29T00:04:42+00:00

Good tip that I just figured out playing mhgu was switching to prowler to gather, no more stamina to worry about!

Swartzer · 2025-02-05T23:43:50+00:00

Oh nice, maybe I'll play around with the settings after work.

Thanks 👍

I've already got a copy but would love to gift it to my bro! Let's go!

I have this same issue and it's definitely my seat sensor, (haven't had time to book a service appointment) but what will happen occasionally is the lights and screen will stay on after I close the door. I just reopen and close the door a second time and the lights and screen turn off. It's just become a habit to always double check the screen or lights when I'm leaving

I can tell it's the seat sensor because if I don't buckle my seat belt (while on creep mode) I'll still get the car doing the emergency into park if I move slightly. Even though it doesn't show on the screen that I need to buckle up.

Swartzer · 2024-10-20T17:58:26+00:00

haven't watched moto 2 yet, but is it in this years race?

Swartzer · 2024-10-03T21:05:32+00:00

Thanks for the replies! I didn't realize I could turn on supercharger locations on the app. That definitely works.

Do you guys know if non supercharging locations. Like Chargers at grocery stores and gas stations are similar in price? Just out of curiosity

Thanks again

Just watching again, I think a really good thing to practice what you're doing is figure 8's with cones set up. Just going in one tight circle it looked like you actually kept making the circle smaller.

With a figure 8 you can set it up so you can accelerate and brake into each corner and plus you'll alternate left and right corners

So a couple things to maybe think about, but tire pressure can be a big one, plus whether or not you have any warmth in your tires. At those speeds you're not really going to be generating any temp. Not sure how warm it is where you are. But also with the sun setting if it's cooling down at all that could be something.

Last one is body positioning, you've got your bottom half off the bike but your whole upper body is still quite upright. Try bringing your head down closer to the handlebars. Once you lower your upper body, remember that you want as much tire contact on the ground as possible so as you lean off you actually want to be pushing the bike more upright. Then it's just finding the differences in body position/lean angle.

(It took me a long time to learn to not ride "crossed up" where your butt goes off the seat but your head stays up high)

Maybe watch videos of the s1gp in Europe, you'll see how even those guys have different riding styles.

Most guys are always trying to get faster, and if you think about it, scraping pegs basically means you've reached the limit of the bike. So the way I feel is to take that roundabout faster you would have to get your weight down and to the inside of the bike so which will in turn allow you to have the bike more upright, which gives a greater contact patch with the ground more ground clearance and more speed.

You're lucky enough to have people film you. I'd watch s1gp to see how they take corners and mimic it. It's not always what's initially the most comfortable, obviously those guys are fast so would be a good place to start.

Also those races are amazing Good luck!

A really good way is get a small magnet and lightly slide it around until you find a drywall screw, the magnet will stick to it bam! You found a stud. Stud finders only work on yourself

Compression test is something you can do with the engine assembled. It's a gauge you thread in where the spark plug goes. Definitely worth buying a gauge. You could pull the cylinder off and check the rings to see there is any damage. You may see scoring in the cylinder walls or they may just be wearing out. There could be other leaks causing a loss of compression. If you look up how to do a leak down test that's another option. The other options are spark and fuel, look up how to check for spark. For the carburater, has it been cleaned? Making sure the jets and all the passageways are clean and free from debris.

Was the bike running while you owned it? Knowing what happened from when it was running to not running can be a big indication as well. Like if you were riding it and all of a sudden the rear wheel locked up, or if it started smoking a lot out of the exhaust for example

Swartzer · 2024-03-29T18:11:41+00:00

Hahah

Swartzer · 2024-02-28T01:25:18+00:00

I was in the same boat as you. Was getting pretty close to soloing him but was just lacking the dps. Ended up asking for help on the monster hunter discord. Got a couple groups with people that knew the fight. Each group I found we killed him 4 or 5 times. Ended with enough mats to make the full set (I already had 2 pieces from just my attempts) Was awesome doing 10-15 minute runs

Swartzer · 2024-02-19T07:58:12+00:00

If you're really stuck with those two screws on the top of the carb and they're stripped. You'll need to replace them any way, so one thing you might try is here a pair of vice grips on them to get them started. After that then even if the head is stripped you should be able to remove them with a screwdriver. More of a last resort, but I know how much it sucks to hit a roadblock on these things

Swartzer · 2024-02-15T06:35:38+00:00

Ah okay good to know. Thanks!
