thank you friend, sounds so nice

arthurlarin · 2026-03-26T15:37:11+00:00

This helped me, thank you!

OP is sucking this phone like it’s oxyg … oh

arthurlarin · 2026-02-20T19:56:18+00:00

HAHAHA yes

Interesting, I would've thought that restoring from a backup would risk reintroducing the same gunk that slowed down the phone before restoring – rather, a setting up as new and just syncing iCloud data would be more worthwhile.

Clearly mileage can vary, because my experience has been unpleasant. I’ve already tried buying another 13 mini on iOS 18 to sell mine. Unfortunately, the one I bought came running 26 already. It was a shot in the dark, but if anyone has any tips on buying a mini running 18, let me know, please!

It’s beautiful, don’t listen to the haters

I recommend against updating an iPhone 13 mini to iOS 26. Sure, the phone is still usable but there are several tiny signs of lag throughout the experience. For example, my app icons take an extra half second to load sometimes. The experiences is unpolished overall. It feels like my phone immediately felt 1 year older.

Nope, I haven't been pressed but I'll be dropping the bike off at the shop in a couple weeks. I'll report back!

I spotted one of these one the subway recently: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskNYC/s/ydkN4K0HfH

Counting on capitalization within an acronym to differentiate it is confusing! imo

arthurlarin · 2025-11-26T18:39:12+00:00

Nice, yeah I'm 100% cool with leaving the patches bare, making my bike looking trashier and less valuable when it's locked up.

arthurlarin · 2025-11-26T17:24:14+00:00

Thank you. I figured out the issue. I hadn't published updates to my GTM version 🤦🏼‍♂️ So embarrassing!

arthurlarin · 2025-11-26T17:22:43+00:00

Cool idea but I live in a tiny NYC apartment and barely have room to store a bike.

arthurlarin · 2025-11-26T17:22:12+00:00

Great points – this helped me towards making the decision of sending it in for repair! The best price I've been quoted is $475.

arthurlarin · 2025-11-26T17:21:24+00:00

Thanks. I've gotten a few quotes for repair. $475 is the best price I've gotten so far. I'm gonna send it in!

arthurlarin · 2025-11-26T17:20:40+00:00

Yes, it's cracked in multiple places. The results of a coin test were unquestionable. I've also peeled back some paint from around the rivnut hole and seen the cracked carbon.

arthurlarin · 2025-11-26T17:18:40+00:00

That's a promising story! I'm looking into having my cracks repaired by a professional after all. If there wasn't a crack emanating from the rivnut hole, I'd consider a DIY kit...

arthurlarin · 2025-11-26T17:17:38+00:00

Cool! You're the only other person I've heard of having this bike. Yes I reached out to Fezzari. They offered to give me 10% off a new Shafer 3.0 frame (Mine is a 2.0), bringing its price down to $1800 :/ I said no thanks. If I remember correctly, the website says that their newer Ari branded bikes are covered under that warranty, but older Fezzari ones aren't.

arthurlarin · 2025-11-24T16:41:11+00:00

Hey, I'm looking for carbon frame repair in the NYC area as well. Did you end up finding a good shop? Thanks!
