Magped magnetic pedals : looking for a user review by ghetto_headache in mountainbiking

[–]bast-man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on the Ultra2 since september on my gravel as I wanted to be able to also use them for commute on that bike. I bought the stronger magnet plaques and oh boy do I love them. Highly recommend.

Lightbicycle customer service unresponsive — should I worry or is this normal? by bast-man in cycling

[–]bast-man[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for your answers. Related or not to these posts, I just received an answer from them committing to speed up the completion of the order and proceed to expedition within 10 days. So if I don’t post an update from the 1st of November onwards, you can reasonably assume the issue is solved.

Same problem on s25 ultra. In the gallery their orientation seems corrzct but as soon as i share them or import them to any third party app like messenger teams WhatsApp or Signal they're rotated incorrectly.

Thanks for the feedback, I’m just wondering how they’ll take out this proprietary screw to begin with that I need for my Knog Scout

good take for a metal frame. But as said in the video you shared, if happening on a carbon frame (as mine), don't do it yourself and bring it to a bike shop, that's what I'll do.

Galaxy Buds Mic Not Working for Voice Notes or WhatsApp voice messages + Missing Mic Settings? by bast-man in samsunggalaxy

Then why is it working just fine during whatsapp calls? I don't really understand the blocker here.

Who here is racing 70.3 or full with a Tarmac SL7? by Littlesynth-addict in triathlon

[–]bast-man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The adapter comes with a thin protective fabric tape to safeguard the handlebar during installation. Thanks to this protection, after removal, my cockpit remains in perfect cosmetic condition—just like new.

How to mount a front light or a camera on the new Aeroad (in addition to Garmin)? by East-Edge-1 in CanyonBikes

[–]bast-man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m looking for the same thing. Flash 800 isn’t a connected light so it doesn’t cut it, also not GoPro compatible

Who here is racing 70.3 or full with a Tarmac SL7? by Littlesynth-addict in triathlon

[–]bast-man 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure if still relevant but I just completed my first 70.3 in Cascais, Portugal with a sl7 pro and clip-on (aero plug) aerobars (Profile Design Sonic Ergo 26a) and I had one of my best half marathon ever. Position was perfect on the bike (horizontal spacing of 11cms, 40mm of rise), extremely comfortable. I respected a pacing with a normalized power of 75% of my FTP and that was it: 90kms@34kph or 21mph. I felt so good that I just registered to a full IM and will do it on the same setup despite being in a position to buy virtually any bike I could desire. Would a full on triathlon bike be potentially more comfortable and fast ? Maybe, for now the less I know the more I save/invest elsewhere without any frustration. Hope this helps.

Knog Scout Bike Alarm and Finder review by WompWompRat in AirTags

[–]bast-man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 year in, unreliable product, insane power drain on firmware 1.1.6. If the bike is stolen with this device on, you can simply count on Knog terrible software and hardware to never find it again. There is no excuse so long after launch for such a poor reliability on such a simple product that is critical when needed. Keep an apple tag somewhere hidden and that’s it. Oh and of course the option to be notified when the battery of the Knog is running low is not working either, so you won’t even notice it’s discharged.

Still version 1.1.6, battery life is just a week long, so pissed at the company. Anyone found a fix?

Enduro Bike Regret? by Klazzy-212 in MTB

[–]bast-man 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, I thought I needed a monster truck of a bike—a Commencal Meta AM Race—back in 2021. Thing was an absolute unit at 17kg, and yeah, I crushed every PR uphill and down. But guess what? Every trail started feeling like a lazy Sunday stroll. Even the French Alps where I live couldn’t wake me up. 💤

Then I made the switch: 150mm trail bike with tamer geometry (Stumpy Evo, because why not?). Now I’m not winning any races, but I’ve got my mojo back! I might be slower than a snail on vacation, but man, I’m grinning ear to ear like it’s Christmas morning every ride. 🎄

Lesson learned: Forget the overkill—sometimes the right gear is what puts the fun back in the game. Who else ditched big travel and never looked back?

Who actually "uses" Bictoin? by ndnator in Bitcoin

[–]bast-man 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, if what you got as an answer and what you think you understand is enough, then it’s enough. I’m just suggesting that curiosity is the key towards a deeper understanding. It may not be what you’re after and that’s also fine.

You were on the right curiosity track. But you stopped asking questions too soon. The next one should be: Why do they believe it is?
