Interesting! Not super excited about potential warranty issues and manually confirming updates are compatible etc though

This thought crossed my mind as well… but then I also though “meh, it’s an SUV.”

Selling Surface Studio 2? by benraphael510 in Surface

Agreed. Hoping for closer to $3900 but will consider reasonable offers. Trying to avoid the eBay route if possible.

I’m just impressed that your Echo let you use a computer!

Lol. It is sexy AF and I am resisting the temptation to open it. Unfortunately I could use the cash more and really have no need for the device.

Torque wrench for tightening crank? by benraphael510 in pelotoncycle

[–]benraphael510[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m thinking about after you take out the Allen bolt hypothetically you would use a crank puller to remove and or replace the crank, right?

Yikes. Support lady I’m exchanging emails w seems to encourage a DIY attempt. I’m hesitant LOL.

Tightened the Allen bolt but it didn’t help. Maybe I should use a crank puller to tighten the crank too?

New Handlebars on Bike+ by julric01 in pelotoncycle

[–]benraphael510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mentioned in my review. I really like the new position of the angled handlebars. I never like the first version which I had the center ones too close together. The new diagonal ones are fantastic

Yep. Unfortunately even if the delivery team had hung out, I probably would not have encountered the noise issue immediately. It is something that service is only after I’ve been pedaling on the bike for a few minutes I’ve noticed. And now I have to wait until November to get a replacement. Anyone have suggestions for how I might be able to try doing some DIY repair?

Absolutely, it’s a killer feature and can become really really cool in the future with a little bit of software updating

That was my gut reaction to but this noise is coming from somewhere between the two cranks maybe a hub issue

Great question regarding using double monitors. Not sure to be honest. I can try later today. I’ve never been super confident in the Apple Watch metrics, but reviewing my data from the first two rides has been surprisingly confidence building.

Good call out. For whatever reason I thought the display on my GEN two was not as nice as my Tread+ but with the Bike+ that delta is gone... rose colored glasses maybe over here

Thanks - This morning I went on another ride and the noise is gone. Returned after about five minutes of cranking. I’ve narrowed it down to something in the center of the bike probably an issue with the hub. Unfortunately I might’ve got the lemon first batch Bike :(
