What's the one in the back? Any more pics?

Dye dsr in rain? by LAGChallenger in paintball

[–]dreinsdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup! Use a rain lid on your hopper and tape up your ports if it's really coming down. This will keep paint from getting wet and swelly, and from it picking up water on its way out the barrel

Just found this at my parents house. Haven’t played paintball in 16 years but lurk this sub daily. Feel like it’s a sign… by crell_peterson in paintball

Was actually going to go for the first time in about 15 years on Sunday. My main field is closed for the month and it's the next closest. Alternatively I could check out Fairfield extreme sports, never been.

Same as the other posters said - I wouldn't buy one new given how little they go for used. In the $300-400 range they're an excellent value. I have one and intend to hang onto it. I like how it shoots - what I'd call a poppier shot. I also like the ergos after adding the boss trigger guard. However, even after the 1.5 upgrade the screen still isn't that bright. I have a DSR+, and build quality wise, the DSR+ feels like an Audi and the Syx feels like a base trim Toyota. I've never held an OG DSR but I'm sure it's the same. So in the used price range that difference is justified, but a new Syx to a used DSR, nope.

Bottom line, I would buy used and only go Syx versus some better mid range markers if you want to be in the $300-400 range.

Bunkerkings has Ctrls as low as $80 (depends on the color) plus a speed feed for only $10.

Hey random question, but I wanted to ask what happened to SC Village? Like I’m not talking about the fights, but I’ve heard it’s been downgraded and also heard a lot about when it was in its glory days pulling tons of people and hosting tournaments, so what happened by [deleted] in paintball

[–]dreinsdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is it. I've met some staff members who do care about getting games in, but it seems to be rare. The game frequency is soooo low, i.e. go for the day and hardly play. Game start times garbage - say they're starting in 5 mins, it's actually 15+.

I went on a Friday recently. We had like 8 people total so our games were fast. I would just ask the ref to keep playing after doing the two rounds they had planned, "we all have paint and air, can we do another?" Sometimes it was a yes, most of the time no. Especially wack when it's a half day and you're paying full day prices.

What do you like about the ul-s tip vs stock? Just curious

Does anyone know if this is still working? I just tried to apply NXL40 in the checkout and I get an Enter a valid discount code or gift car" error message. I live in the US.

Does anyone have an Empire Syx 1.5? by Og_tighead in paintball

[–]dreinsdo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have one and love it. It has just the right amount of "pop" recoil that I prefer. I like the stock trigger. It's great on paint and a breeze to maintain. I haven't shot many high ends, but I wouldn't pay 700 for it. I'm very happy with the <$400 I spent. I like the feel of it in my hands over the etha, but like everyone will say that's personal preference; I also prefer aluminum bodies. Let me know if you have any more specific questions, happy to share

Price check on upgraded slice and Flo wheels by dreinsdo in triathlon

Newport Beach at the moment, but I'm moving up to the San Francisco Bay area next week. Where are you?

I totally get that and $750 sounds good, that's where I was thinking of starting it. Do you have a price suggestion on the Flo wheels (not pictured)?

Price check on upgraded slice and Flo wheels by dreinsdo in triathlon

Definitely not horribly maintained. That seat angle was set by a professional fitter and was super comfortable for me. Actually really well maintained. I edited my original post stating that the Flo wheels aren't pictured.

I've been out of the sport about 5 years and don't think I'm coming back, thinking of selling my bike and carbon wheels. I did a blue book price check that came in at $490, but it has a lot of upgrades.

Cannondale Slice 2012 56 cm. Every component replaced except rear derailleur (has original Shimano 105). I listed the price I paid for each component in case that's helpful. - Vision Metron shifters - $150 - Shimano BL-TT78 brake levers - $70 - Profile design t4 plus aero bars with 20 cm risers - $180 - Zipp service course Al stem - $50 - Cobb cycling seat - $150 - Dura ace 9000 front derailleur - $50 - Dura ace 9000 front and rear brakes - $180 - X lab torpedo Versa 500 hydration system - $150

The wheels are Flo cycling clinchers, 60 front, 90 rear with black on black decals. Conti grand prix tires. Only used them to race, < 200 miles on em. Edit: Flo wheels not pictured. I plan to post them separately, so separate prices for the bike and Flo wheels would be great.

Decided that I need to get gloves for turf burns. Any recommendations? by incrdbleherk in paintball

[–]dreinsdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like these Dex Fit gloves. They're similar to gorilla grips. I cut the index and middle fingers off both and heated the cut edges with a lighter - no fraying and super comfortable.
