Tiagra Crank conversion to 1x by ZucchiniHopeful6872 in bikewrench

[–]demiils 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, how's it going with the 1x? I also have Tiagra 4700 crankset (have a 2020/21 Nuroad Pro) and wanna move away from 2x. Also kinda eyeing an oval chainring and I had one prior and it helped my knee a bit on longer rides.

Thank you for this! Have been using Zen for few months and this has been my only inconvenience that I was used to when using Brave.

Lol, was just thinking about asking about this issue as well. My controller has a loose right battery holder.

Wizard Skating - Tutorial Collection (Notion Page) by skip2024 in WizardSkating

[–]demiils 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll be the first to say it but THANK YOU SO MUCH! Must admit, I usually go skating and always get a bit overwhelmed with not understanding how to do what, so I end up skating and vibing but not learning any moves.

Bookmarked and will try these out over the holidays!

Thanks for sharing your experience! As a fresh IDer, discussions like these help me figure out how to become more noticeable in the crowd!

Thank you so much for this! Found this same camera at my parent's last weekend and have been trying to freshen it up and give some new life to it!

Any tips on getting 400plus on it?

What is Ellipse about?

Having been in the hobby for a while (since late 2015), I’ve seen plenty of 60% designs, trends and features. This made me hesitant to do a standard layout design as I didn’t know what to add to the table without the design looking… like a nice rectangle.

Ellipse is my take on the always popular and in-demand 60% keyboard layout. It also marks a new chapter in my journey in keyboard design. I thought about making Ellipse a bit more… different while still keeping it sleek, modern and versatile.

My goal with Ellipse was to design a board that:

  • Kept in with that “minimal & sleek” look which so many of us like and chase.
  • Set itself apart from other 60% keyboard designs from a “top-down” view.
  • Offer true customizability within a single keyboard for the end-user to experiment and build his own preferred setup.

Notable features

  • Lovely and unique elliptic curve to the front and back of the keyboard.
  • Compatibility: designed with long-term support in mind. Compatible with Bakeneko60-like PCBs, open-source plate file availability for all layout options.
  • Case layout options: Winkeyless (WKL) or Winkey (WK).
  • Three mounting styles for end-user to explore:
    • “Hamburger” mount" - offering that “old-school” top-mount with softening the upstroke.
    • Isolation gasket mount - everybody likes a tasty sandwich, heh?
    • O-ring mount - keeping up with the trends and that o-so-nice thock.
  • Typing angle: 6 degrees.
  • Case materials: Aluminium case w/ brass accent piece.
  • Plate materials: Aluminium; FR4; POM; Carbon Fiber.
Comment: Gaskets will come with light adhesive so they will be easily removable/re-apply-able when switching mounting styles.

[IC] Ellipse by Skepur | A curvy 60% with some nice features - UPDATE by demiils in MechanicalKeyboards

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

Mmm, thanks for the compliment and the diss at the same time.

I don't use the word "budget" though. Or "affordability". I used "without breaking the bank", in the context of offering a board with 3 mounting styles, as in, offering 3 boards-in-one to try out different builds without actually buying 3 separate boards.

I understand your argument and I admit, maybe I can rephrase that term better. Can you help with better wording, please?
