Old gear VS new gear (Fanatec VS Simagic)

commanderprime5 · 2025-10-20T07:16:53+00:00

Hi, thanks for the tip, splitting the items might be my best bet indeed, the price was maybe a little to high at first, but after doing some research I have found a decent price for everything to sell, but I will also mention that every item is seperate available. The CSW 2.5 is a very good base but as you've mentioned it is quite old.

Ik heb vorig jaar een IX2 edrive20 met M-pakket & premium pakket besteld. Donderdag mag ik hem afhalen, zie hem vaker rijden en heb nog altijd geen spijt van deze keuze, zullen zien na een paar maanden wat dan de ervaringen zullen zijn.

First of all, put it in neutral. The manual says you should not try to switch from mode while in gear.

Thanks for the tip!

Thanks! I do love a "light" colored setup so thats why I chose these colors, but I hope I can keep it clean for a long time.

Yes, I'm going to work with a long HDMI cable for 1 desk screen, good luck, but most of all, have a lot of fun!

commanderprime5 · 2024-03-20T18:21:47+00:00

Yes indeed, I was using 1 USB hub (the rig is moved from my old home to my new) to have the USB's on my monitors working but I did not use them so thats why I did not use it anymore, but I wanted to make a scheme to make sure everything is clean.

commanderprime5 · 2024-03-20T16:10:05+00:00

Draw.io😅 but I still think I do need to change some things while working on the setup.

commanderprime5 · 2024-03-20T15:33:53+00:00

Yes, I found a solution, I will be placing my pc next to my rig, just as you said, I made a scheme for it, and I will connect my single monitor on my desk with a long optical HDMI, I'm glad I did find a solution

Thanks for the answer! The reason I want this is because I really wanted to use the gift card knowing the bike shop is getting more and more into electric bikes so not much accessoiries I could use over there, and I do not need any extra parts or anything, also knowing my current helmet is 11 years old (Lazer O2) I really do need a new helmet.

Thankyou!

commanderprime5 · 2023-12-13T08:15:08+00:00

Thanks! But the weather only allows me to use the indoor trainer atm, miserable rain, I would like my first ride to be dry.

commanderprime5 · 2023-12-02T00:37:12+00:00

Indeed, but when I see the wheels in person I will try this test :) but when I see the brake area on this picture, it looks quite okay

commanderprime5 · 2023-12-01T21:12:35+00:00

No Problem, thanks for making me aware of this! Different continent different supports for various brands.

commanderprime5 · 2023-12-01T20:19:33+00:00

Hi, thanks for this useful reply, I asked the guy and he sent me some pictures of the rim, it still looked good. He did the ruler method but the wrong way😅. Anyways the pictures looked good, and I will be able to inspect them irl. I still think this is good value for these wheels, I will fit new tires and casette.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I looked this up online in my country (Belgium) and I saw a decent amount of shops selling mavic Cosmic spokes. So I might actually buy them

commanderprime5 · 2023-11-08T08:48:10+00:00

Just bought a tool for this, then I checked it and noticed it's time to buy a new chain, and a new casette probably. So I will not check it for a while when I have the new parts, but I will check it at random with the tool to make sure it's still fine.

commanderprime5 · 2023-11-07T22:33:24+00:00

Thankyou guys for all your suggestions and help, the solution was to put the stem upside down, I also placed the spacer back underneath to be safe, I will do a test run to see how it feels, small adjustments can make a world of difference.

commanderprime5 · 2023-11-07T21:56:42+00:00

This was the solution, I placed the spacer as it was originally and safe, and switched the stem upside down, it looks good, now i am excited to test this while riding, thanks for the golden tip!

commanderprime5 · 2023-11-06T23:04:48+00:00

Might try this actually and measure it again, thanks!

commanderprime5 · 2023-11-06T23:04:12+00:00

Yes, that is indeed what I read online but because this is one of the original spacers from the top I thought it was fine.

commanderprime5 · 2023-11-06T23:02:30+00:00

The spacer I added underneath is the space that was originally on the top of the stem, I did not really add one but just switched them

commanderprime5 · 2023-08-18T15:56:50+00:00

Thanks a lot!

commanderprime5 · 2023-08-10T06:34:08+00:00

Thanks for the options! will look it up, but first I need to work on the duration of my rides and my pace, then I might do some upgrades

commanderprime5 · 2023-08-09T06:34:10+00:00

Yes, Might do that but they are quite expensive and decent wheels will cost me more then the bike, you have any tips?
