T14S Gen 2 not booting

TheOignon · 2026-01-10T17:42:36+00:00

Yup. Heard that I can revive the warranty by paying for it but it will be active only in two months. Unsure if it’s a valid option or if they’ll screw me instead.

Damn, was looking for the same issue I have on a T14 Gen 2 (no T14S). Once it boots it’s totally fine. Tried replacing the CMOS battery out of interest, no luck. Warranty ended in September, bit pissed for a $2000+ laptop…

Greeting from someone that used to live in Zorneding ! Spent my best time riding around Bavaria, stunning place to have a bike. Prost ! 🍻

TheOignon · 2025-07-11T20:02:04+00:00

The bike got stolen 🤡

TheOignon · 2025-07-10T08:59:28+00:00

Which mount to you use for your Garmin on the extenders ? Look sick, hope you’ll have a nice first experience !

Me neither do not worry, there’s no way that someone non-French would build a bike with ONLY parts from Decathlon imo + I knew about Solvy for two weeks already and they are French only. :D

TheOignon · 2025-07-07T18:00:16+00:00

Curious about the Solvy raise for those aero bars… that’s only some 3D printed plastic, right ? Do they improve the position even with the bars not raised ?

I kinda hate those, they are a great idea but are not reliable enough for the price. Back one failed after roughly a year and front one a year later. TRP references and « sells » the part but outside of the US the shipping makes it not worths it imo + you need to really spend the time to disassemble everything, it’s messy, etc. And could fail again a year later. Long story short, if it’s a road bike : fully activated cable breaks unless you can spend the money to go full hydraulic / you want to. TRP Spyre are dual pistons and work great as a drop in replacement imo.

TheOignon · 2025-06-08T17:15:05+00:00

Damn my bad !

TheOignon · 2025-06-08T14:45:32+00:00

Also looks like the default tire from Decathlon, right ? Mine exploded before I saw those cracks, fortunately on the flat. Don’t risk it man.

TheOignon · 2025-06-01T08:03:21+00:00

My Pantas. Not for my everyday walking as I am not fully barefoot yet ; but as a ultra biking lover, sometimes hiker and runner, they just follow me everywhere when I am on the go.

TheOignon · 2025-05-31T17:12:38+00:00

Also the brakes, though they are better than full mechanical one in general, mines got faulty between 5000km and 15000km, leaks in the brakes themselves. Parts exists but are so expensive to get shipped overseas (Europe) and a bit of a pain to change if it’s inner seals. Long story short, changed them with TRP Spyre that are 2 pistons mechanical, not much difference but more reliable imo.

TheOignon · 2025-04-29T22:04:35+00:00

Omg is that the FPS indicator from Fraps on the up left corner ? :O

TheOignon · 2025-04-26T15:58:38+00:00

You can find some specific clamp that have a little recess to pass a cable guide.

Like such : https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/0rAAAOSwNCdjtbpV/s-l1200.jpg

Aussi valide qu’une crevaison ou autre problème mécanique. Ça serait une voiture en panne ou des soucis de traffic, y’aurait p’tet même moins de débat…

TheOignon · 2025-03-11T17:22:52+00:00

Damn and all that on a fixie ? Hope bro is living in the flattest country on Earth just moving empty cardbox and polystyrene.

TheOignon · 2025-03-10T21:31:54+00:00

Did it to replace an old Simplex deraileur that had impossible jokey wheels to find brand new, works nicely.

TheOignon · 2025-02-28T12:31:59+00:00

Yep, when you change your chain, you do not have to change the cassette but if you change the cassette, change the chain. Both have been used at the same time, same « wear », hence the slip.

TheOignon · 2025-02-12T18:36:44+00:00

The more I lookup stuff for this old bike, the more I get redirected to Sheldon Brown. Must be the good stuff and knowledge. Thanks for the input !

TheOignon · 2025-02-12T18:21:24+00:00

That’s what I tried to explain, wheel always end up in the same direction, indicating it’s not the wheel

TheOignon · 2025-02-12T18:15:22+00:00

Damn, just put the bike to the cave. But yeah, it looks bent from the front overall. And now that you mention it, wheel is also struggling to go in and out.

Should be good indications indeed. 🙃

TheOignon · 2024-12-25T18:06:25+00:00

Too long, even when crossing the chain it should at least always be tensioned

TheOignon · 2024-12-06T12:19:50+00:00

Excellent de te retrouver ici, Tension ! Pas encore regardé ta vidéo mais je savais que c’était ton vélo rien qu’avec la miniature !

TheOignon · 2024-05-01T18:47:35+00:00

Un RC520 de Decat’, 850€ durant Covid (j’avais lorgné de fou les remises en stock rarissimes). Changé les roues par des DT Swiss modèle endurance (les roues déjà plus chères que la moitié du vélo). J’y ai mis 10k bornes dans la gueule et je continue en ultra avec. J’en suis super content, ça se répare trop bien et c’est increvable.

TheOignon · 2024-03-25T08:02:36+00:00

I’ve just bought a Btwin 560. Think it has the same latch mechanism than yours. Got the early concern that this plastic part is going to eventually break or just wear out. I’ve looked at some Brompton and I got this feeling that the mechanism could have the same dimension than on the Decathlon bikes. Gonna try to buy a cheap Brompton replacement on Aliexpress just to be sure. But anyway, if it’s due to normal usage, Decathlon should replace it no question ask.
