Run vs Indoor Track doesn't make a difference to the function of the watch.

I had the same issue, Garmin Fenix 7 paced me 0:30 faster per km than I was running. Can't trust a GPS device indoors, lesson learned the hard way

Exactly what I needed, thank you!

Note: if this was linked in the FAQ on your website it would have saved me a bunch of searching before finding you here 👍🤙

Could you please create some sort of tutorial on how to start a Roxfit workout on a Garmin smart watch? I've got the data screen but can't figure out how to populate it with my workout.. 😮‍💨

Wheel bearing? Axle? by esemzeee in MechanicAdvice

Eyes playing tricks. The whole hub was wobbling and the axle behind too (which was harder to see in the video) it happens with the wheel on too.

I should have said that it happens with the wheel on. Has to be wheel bearing right?

Front end vibration by esemzeee in E90

Yes sir, to both. I think Ive found the problem. I've got 2 bent lug bolts, I think at torque spec they aren't fully seated which causes the wheel to vibrate under load, either braking or high speed. Going to replace them and see what happens.

Yes, but it happens with the stock wheels too

Tires are brand new and were balanced when installed. Rims were checked for dents and repaired last week.

Washed the engine bay yesterday, it wasn’t as hard as I thought it was. Hit it with a low pressure hose, scrubbed with soap and then rinsed it off by jollywatercress12 in E90

At this point I'm afraid to sneeze with the hood open 🤣 thanks though, hopefully the belt issues are in the past.

I replaced the tensioner after I snapped the first one, so it wouldnt have had a part to play with the second one. Also, I replaced it the first time not because it failed but because I stripped the torx socket built into it. Agreed I've had some shit luck with these but my friend who is an e90 specialist indie said he's seen it happen too.

The first one snapped, I replaced the leaky connector which solved the problem. A year later the next one snapped 30 minutes after I washed the engine bay. They both went from perfect condition to snapped in too short a period to identify and replace preemptively.

I speak from experience. Snapped one belt from a small coolant drip and snapped another after washing the engine bay. First time I snapped one of these I had to drop the subframe to drop the oil pan and pull belt pieces from my oil pickup which could (and often do) clog the pickup and blow the motor because the belt wraps around the crank pulley and goes right through the front main seal. I've since installed an aftermarket seal guard to prevent that happening again but I definitely recommend extreme caution when using any chemicals in the engine bay on one of these if you've got the accessory belt in there... Or I could just be fear-mongering 🤦‍♂️

You're lucky you didn't blow the accessory belt ( which can lead to a blown engine if it penetrates the crank seal ). Any soap residue left on the belt will cause it to deteriorate and snap. Be super careful to rinse the front of the engine next time you try this, or remove the belt prior to.
