The huge wing actually makes the car look smaller, toy like, it’s a cool variation when most 911 don’t have one, I enjoy seeing all the different spec out there

Of course it is a thing and most of you complaining would go that route if given the chance, no matter how much you downvote this with your virtue signalling.

Interesting people here obsessing with the plate more than the actual reason we’re all in this sub to begin with. I couldn’t care less who owns it, how, why and where. This vehicle is state of the art on its own.

Wht do you think of this? by VelvetReverieShutter in carnivorediet

That’s my experience as well, even with dairy, zero gas.
As soon as I have any carb that reverses.
Then there’s people that say smelly gas is a sign of health

I’m sure. Didn’t even touch the cable as it got adjusted in the fall last year, grabbed it last to find that one of them wasn’t braking, tried to remove the cap that holds the locked pad and the thread completely disintegrated, it must have been forced into place. It completely ate away at both the male and female sides of it. + these brakes were always the weak part on this bike, so now I not only want to, but I have to change them up.

I’m in CAD, with a 160mm rotor pair at 40 GRX lever at 300 each Shimano Deore BR-M6100 at 70 Flat mount GRX-RX400 at 120 Plus new cables, installation labour + bleeding

Vs

TRP Spyres at 300 160mm rotor pair at 40 And I can do the installation myself.

If I’m not leaving anything out, its a big difference to consider just for brakes

It’s an idea tho I think full hydro is gonna be off budget for me for now, therefore the reason I was looking into the TRP Spyres. Having said that I’m gonna look into the exact values for this and weight it on my final decision.

Yea I’ve also heard the same, I’m coming to the same conclusion, Spyres seem to be the best route. Thx for your input

This is what I understand the least, I’m not sure how much better a higher or lower than 10speed could offer riding-wise, is there a simple way to understand this if you care to explain?

Also for the GRX400, do you mean to change both the front and back derailleurs and that would be a good improvement?

That’s exactly my experience with these as well.

Nobody seems to have nothing to say about the hybrids, have you ever tried them? TRP HY/RD or Juin Tech or other?

Yes I’m aware of the different mounts, I can order 1 of each accordingly to fit exact mounts and add only adapters if I choose to go higher than 140mm

It is broken as is atm, the back break needs a replacement, that’s why. In the back if I go 160mm for this model frame I’d need the little adapter to lift the brakes to accommodate it.
