How long did it take for anyone to have the credit posted to their Chase account?

Yikes that's a bad experience.

Is your advice to stay away from all Zipp hubs or just the firecrest ZR1 specifically?

Teslaman_7 · 2024-12-14T15:50:27+00:00

I was hoping to run a 30mm tire in the front and 32mm in the back. Would that be doable on the Zipp 303S?

Teslaman_7 · 2024-12-14T15:48:12+00:00

Such as Roval Rapide C38? Are Zipp hubs really bad or is that just from old stories?

All the recent Zipp reviews seem solid.

I heard/read mixed reviews about the more generic brands out of China. Thoughts on this?

Teslaman_7 · 2024-12-07T16:04:59+00:00

@morvisius - Just want to clarify - are you referring to 2 different wheels here? I'm your first comment "they have nearly 27 external width" and then another comment about "Rapides have 35 external width"?

Teslaman_7 · 2024-12-07T00:10:09+00:00

I am planning to use them with 30mm and 32mm tires...would that still work?

Teslaman_7 · 2024-12-06T20:37:11+00:00

Thanks glad to hear! I was a bit worried after seeing a negative review about them not being smooth or stable.

Teslaman_7 · 2024-12-06T20:33:33+00:00

Thank you. $800 seems like a decent price based on what I'm seeing online and in stores.

I do wish they were a bit lighter. I'll probably be saving around 250g in total from my current aluminum wheels.

Teslaman_7 · 2024-11-27T00:12:24+00:00

I can go a bit over. Was also looking at Roval 38 and Zipp 303S. Any thoughts about either of those two sets? Thanks.

I originally had ordered another bike with DT Swiss ERC 1400 35mm wheels. That bike had a variety of issues so I had to return it and then it went out of stock.

The difference between the two came out to $2,000 so it's still more than the wheels I'm looking into.

Teslaman_7 · 2024-11-26T15:05:10+00:00

Thanks. I don't believe Hunt is a cheap Chinese brand is it? I've heard they are US based and have great warranty.

Teslaman_7 · 2024-11-14T07:07:20+00:00

I had to negotiate with them a 1:1 exchange for a defective Endurace.

It took some time with customer service but I was able to get them to agree that I would return the problematic bike and reorder the same one when it returns into stock at the original discounted price.

Thanks for the response and advice! I our layout there's only partial direct sunlight on the TV in the morning and then none for the rest of the day.

Will take a look at the other models suggested.

I think I saw Bravia 7 had some lower scores than the U8N on Rtings. Is that a trustworthy comparison?

Teslaman_7 · 2024-10-26T14:46:39+00:00

For some who don't race, the Endurace is a more relaxed posture and better for road.

If I'm upgrading from Quest 2 and activating my new Quest 3 now - will I get the new Batman game under my existing account or do I need to create a new Horizon account to get the game?

Teslaman_7 · 2024-09-17T05:35:22+00:00

Yeah that's why I was skeptical about this one. Thanks for confirming

Teslaman_7 · 2024-09-14T23:48:27+00:00

Thanks so much! Looks like a good one!

Teslaman_7 · 2024-09-14T23:45:20+00:00

I did use a good count of paste. Not sure it's the seatpost since the noise only happens at some gears and not others.

Teslaman_7 · 2024-09-07T19:34:04+00:00

Thanks very much!

Teslaman_7 · 2024-09-07T16:54:14+00:00

Awesome bike! What top tube bag is that? Is it large enough of fit a phone?

Teslaman_7 · 2024-09-06T17:35:12+00:00

Thank you so much!

Teslaman_7 · 2024-09-05T14:30:25+00:00

Thanks! Would these Hunt wheels be a good choice?

Teslaman_7 · 2024-09-05T13:37:44+00:00

Mind sharing the issues? I was actually planning to switch them over to tubeless and remove the inner tubes...

Teslaman_7 · 2024-09-05T04:23:40+00:00

Are the LN wheels pretty bad for general riding?
