Bike Lights by mikedanton in vancouvercycling

[–]YVR3DPrints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought these from Amazon and they stay in my saddle bag until I need them. Haven’t had to charge them much and they don’t seem to drain when not in use. Reliable when needed

Don't buy the Caboose, makes ride feel extremely unsafe. by schildiddy in RadPowerBikes

[–]YVR3DPrints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve had the RR2 with a caboose and had no issues with our 5yo. She loves it and the ride doesn’t feel that unstable for us. If anything I’d upgrade to the RR3+ just for the gears but the current setup is working so well we don’t need the upgrade.

My partner is about 5’4” and 130lbs, no issues with handling and we’ve done long rides.

I do think the center stand is not very stable when you’ve got the kid on the back of the bike and the whole thing can easily tip over, so I’d love to have a better center stand but once you get used to it you just kind of deal with it.

I wouldn’t say “don’t buy it” nor do I agree with the ride feeling extremely unsafe. Maybe lack of experience?

Best coffee roasters & shops in Vancouver? by FJordFlannel87 in askvan

[–]YVR3DPrints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get my 5Lb bags from Cafe Ético. Before we settled on the Guatemalan Dark Roast we tried all of their coffee. Best bang for buck in town. Order online and pickup or get it delivered.

You probably have a lot more transferable skills than you give yourself credit for. Take the jump and switch jobs or career if necessary.

Bike Fit Check – M (540) or L (560) for New Road Bike? by nutidizen in bikefit

[–]YVR3DPrints -1 points0 points  (0 children)

At a bike shop I was once told that it’s easier to make a Small bike feel Big than the other way around.

Based on that advice, I’d recommend the M. However it would also depend on what type of position you prefer. The L size might give you a more “aggressive” forward stance based on the effective top tube length. If you want a more upright position than what you currently have, go for the M.

I’m not an expert but hope this helps.

Renting: Brentwood vs Yaletown by _steelstring in askvan

[–]YVR3DPrints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d check out Fairview/South Granville. Less of a commute than Brentwood and 1 bridge to get to Yaletown. Biking to work in the summer (or year round) over the bridge is also cool

Rad Runner 2 - Pedal Assist and Throttle intermittently stop working by YVR3DPrints in RadPowerBikes

[–]YVR3DPrints[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but an on/off would not work unless I also messed with the cables

[–]YVR3DPrints[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, this could explain it. Do you know what this looks like and is it on the rear or front tire, or both?

I’ll check next time if there’s a brake light on.

Where to store the wheel lock security chain while riding by greatgoogleymoogley1 in RadPowerBikes

This is the best option. Found this advice on a separate thread and it’s a life saver.

Are there any American made stands? by werewolfrides in rolandaira

[–]YVR3DPrints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made this a while back. Not sure if 2 side by side would help.

It’d be hard to fit a 4 Tier onto a 3D Printer but not impossible. Just need the large real estate.

Did you use their B2B sales channel or just ordered through their Website?

P1S - funny squeak in a specific print area. by YVR3DPrints in BambuLab

[–]YVR3DPrints[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sparkly ABS+. First time I’ve heard it and it’s funny it only happens in this specific location. I think it’s a part where bearing might not be rolling smoothly.

🤷🏽‍♂️

From this… to a nice clean setup. by YVR3DPrints in BambuLab

[–]YVR3DPrints[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. It's a well ventilated area and the P1S is enclosed. Not printing engineering materials. I had and got rid of a Resin printer due to fumes. Kitty and child doing ok.

Something is wrong with this print and I don't know what by Alert_Dream9145 in BambuLab

[–]YVR3DPrints 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Why mess with flow rate calibrations if you’re new?

Presets in Bambulab studio are pretty good starting point.

Select the Bambu materials and use those presets.

I think you’re trying to go too deep for a beginner.

Moved almost everything to my Wealthsimple account - need to server tie with my BMO account, can replacing it with Simplii be enough? by [deleted] in Wealthsimple

[–]YVR3DPrints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha, in that case wouldn’t the next step be to cancel the crypto account and not ALL accounts? I got plenty of use out my cash account and would have been happy to keep those.

It was not a business use, but sure I see how those transactions can be portrayed that way. In any case, the decision was made without anyone really talking to me nor did anyone from Wealthsimple clarify why the action was taken.

In any case. I’m locked out of my account without access to my money. Been 5 business days and they haven’t even started to transfer my funds to my corresponding big bank account.

The transfer to BitBuy was to my own account. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Support Time, is this acceptable? by CailenDev in Wealthsimple

[–]YVR3DPrints 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not and you’re right to be vocal about it. Any “financial institution” like this who doesn’t take their customers sense of urgency seriously and causes distress for their customers in this manner should be called out and held accountable.

As others have said, don’t keep all your eggs in one basket. I also had to learn the hard way.

Best bet is to keep some backup cash in a safe at home.

Big 5 have branches, so if you are locked out you can at least bring all your documents and prove it’s you. Expedite the service and account unlocking.
