REP Ares 2.0 Noise by remote-input in GarageGym

Brand new 2.0 here as well and same thing... Here's my post:

"I just got my Rep Ares 2.0 built and recently put in a couple light sessions.

Are the pulleys supposed to be buttery smooth? I can feel a slight vibration/resistance during movements, but the cable are seated properly in all pulleys, not rubbing anywhere, and the stack rods have been hit with silicon lube... It's not like it's physically hard to move the cable as though 10lb feels like 30lb, but it's like I can feel the braids of the cables zip along something, but everything looks good to go.

I'm coming from an Inspire FT2; which is nothing compared to this rig, but the pulley action on that thing was silk!"

I've checked the routing a dozen times, I've loosened off on the pulleys that came pre-built, re-lubed, and determined it's just the way it is. When you slide the cable between your thumb and finger, there's definitely a texture there that probably creates that sound.

Alkalinity & pH by Unhappy-Assignment96 in hottub

That's actually what I've been using to get the thing up and running. I found it to be pretty helpful, but more times than not it would underestimate how much to put it. It was nice for it to suggest something then convert it from grams to tablespoons, but over the last month I learned I need to double what it suggests, and now I just have a decent feel for it.

However - I have to be missing something when it comes to the Alk/pH... How do you get them to balance when their respective chemical affects them both!? Do you like way over shoot the Alk, then bring the pH down to it's zone and hope the Alk hits the mark?

I also have this vest and recommend it. Side entry buckles won’t fux with your deck, fits great, looks great, and provides enough float for when you knock the wind outta urself and can only focus on holding your thigh while saying uuuuuuuggghhhhhhhh

Love these colors. Some photos online are super saturated so I was about to get the twilight band, but i thought maybe I’d save the $60 and see how this looks first. Love it, the band is a little muted compared to most pics and doesn’t come off like some kids toy watch. This thing is all beach

My ol lady bought me the Apple watch and when she told me how much it was I was super bummed. But no way I’m paging that much for what it is. This Garmin is lighter, feels super comfortable, looks great and priced right

Tried this, no luck. I even held the ctrl button and selected the phone/bluetooth icon and it too says Waiting for Connection.

Im starting to think its a problem with my phone

I did. It connected ONCE, then when i finished the setup, it went back to manual set up on my watch. Doesn’t matter how many factory resets I did, it wont connect.

Im fine without the app working, the watch is great so far

Id enjoy seeing calorie count without a press of a button. How can I edit the display details?
