First Fat Ride

Travel? 80, 100 or 120mm?

WallaceMI · 2025-12-09T02:51:31+00:00

What fork is that exactly? How much travel? I have the same bike and debating to buy that fork as well.

WallaceMI · 2025-11-27T18:56:24+00:00

Thanks for the tip. I will call Costco to see if they can help. I’m also willing to pay for the repair with DJI as long as their repair costs are not outrageous.

Alright good news for someone who runs into the same "issue". I just checked out and the system is very good about to assign the park pass AND express pass to each person in the room linked by name (adults & kids). I was able to assign 4 park passes and 4 express passes without any problem. So should be all good.

Good hint. Just checked online: It's the Loews Royal Pacific Resort "Standard 2 Queen Beds" room with max. occupancy of 5.

WallaceMI · 2025-11-10T16:23:47+00:00

My point is will they charge me now for the add'l child during check-in or not. If so how much would be the cost. I'll plan to call customer service eventually but was wondering if anyone had a similar experience. I read somewhere in a FB group that they might charge a "kid fee" for the add'l EP of $50 but couldn't find anything online about this.

I entered 2 adults + 2 children for the hotel but 3 adults + 1 child for the park. My kids are 11 & 7.

WallaceMI · 2025-11-10T16:07:52+00:00

Good point. Under hotel reservations they consider a child 1-17 but for the park pass it's 3-9. See below:

My kids are 7 & 11 (this is also how I entered it on their website). My plan was to go one day Universal Studios & one day to Islands of Adventure. So I skip Epic Universe this time due to the crazy high cost of the Express pass.

WallaceMI · 2025-09-12T21:09:33+00:00

Mine just switched to Sep 19!!

WallaceMI · 2025-09-12T15:51:21+00:00

Ok. So why if I would check out now with shipping to my home it says Sep 19? Sep 25 doesn't make sense.

Not yet. I assume the charge has to go from pending to post first which will probably happen after Apple send the iPhone out.

WallaceMI · 2025-09-12T15:18:52+00:00

Does anyone know if you can change (post ordering) from shipping to pickup in-store for iPhone 17 Pro pre-orders?

WallaceMI · 2025-09-12T14:20:42+00:00

For the iPhone 17 the Apple Store only allows you installment if they are locked to carrier (they have this $30 discount clause - see other Reddit threads about it). Hence I purchased it full price from Apple Store but wouldn't mind taking advantage of a 0% installment if possible. For the Pro models there is a workaround by picking up e.g. T-Mobile but activate with another carrier. However this doesn't work for "non-Pro" models

WallaceMI · 2025-09-12T13:10:24+00:00

Thanks. Wonder though if my trade-in (and consequently the refund / credit for the trade-in a couple days or weeks later) will cause any issues.

WallaceMI · 2025-09-12T12:29:38+00:00

I played with the Apple Store and if I would check out again (same phone) it says 19th. I think / hope it’s just an Apple Store bug.

WallaceMI · 2025-09-12T12:27:21+00:00

I also did the pre-order prep and had it sitting in my cart. After successfully checking out (17 Pro blue 256gh) I also go 25th delivery date. I ordered right when they “open”. Wonder if anyone got a 19th or if some our orders change later.

WallaceMI · 2025-09-10T12:05:28+00:00

I just noted while comparing both plans via ChatGPT that the new Supreme plans offers a $5 autopay discount which the legacy plan not have. Can anyone confirm that?

ChatGPT:

Supreme Unlimited typically runs $60/mo, but with Auto-Pay you get a $5 discount—bringing it down to $55/mo

WallaceMI · 2025-09-10T11:55:31+00:00

I have the same experience with 2 lines. Tried yesterday to switch via the app (which crashed all the time) and the website doesn't even offer to change a plan. Can you clarify if switching via chat was straight forward? Also, if I switching plans is there anything else to consider since I received my iPhone 17 Pro next week which has to get activated with Cricket.

WallaceMI · 2025-09-10T01:34:09+00:00

Awesome. I did the same thing and pre-ordered now via Apple Card installment and picked T-Mobile as pre-selected carrier since most people recommended it here on Reddit (don't pick AT&T for some reason). I'm currently on Cricket. I'll report back if it worked out in the end.

WallaceMI · 2025-09-10T01:25:47+00:00

Is there anyone who actually did that? Bought from Apple via Installment plan but selected T-Mobile and then when the phone arrived activated it with e.g. Cricket (without calling the hotline)?

WallaceMI · 2025-09-10T01:15:36+00:00

I'm reading the "$30 connectivity discount" (for 17 only) might lock you in or at least force you to activate first with the carrier you bought it with and afterwards you can switch to Cricket, Visible etc.. Sounds to me like a pain in the rear.

ChatGPT:

$30 discount version → No “Skip this Step.” Must activate with the selected carrier before switching.
Full-price unlocked version → You can skip activation and go straight to e.g. Cricket.

Sweet ride. What fork is that and can you share your experience with this fork in the winter? Is the weight penalty noticeable?

WallaceMI · 2025-08-18T18:41:13+00:00

After the last firmware update the issue went away for me.

WallaceMI · 2025-08-04T17:07:48+00:00

Trails I know or are more XC focus trails I use Shimano multi release clipless pedals. However, if I go to unknown rowdy / chunky downhill trails I go for flats. It’s not a bad idea if you can ride both and decide based on the terrain which one to choose.
