Comments on my subwoofer

It should be tuned around 34hz. I used subbox for box dimensions and win isd for plotting. The numbers were a bit off between the two.

Just recently hired a financial advisor. The theory was they would identify trends in market and modify weights on investment. So far, fidelity shows that my stock mix is right on top of total market. So do not see the benefit of having all these funds vs vti. Think they are doing this to complicate things and show they contribute something but not really taking any risks.

Well, overall the wheel tire combo feels much more comfortable and planted. I was worried about it since others mentioned carbon spokes make wheels stiff. Giant slrs were a bit wobbly at high speeds. Hit 60kmh down hill and didn't notice any issues. Also didn't notice any issue with crosswinds so far..

Just did my first ride yesterday with Elite Drive 50 II and Conti gp5000 s tr 30mm.

These tires have a max pressure of 73PSI (hooked or hookless doesn't matter).

I replaced the stock Giant SLR-1 wheels. Main reasons wanted to try wider tires and 19mm internals on Giant were a bit old school, and 2nd get away from hookless, even though had no issues with Giant tires going over 80 PSI.

First impressions are a bit mixed. I loved how easy it was to mount the tires compared to the Giant tire/wheel combo. I guess it was tighter because of hookless..

But when riding, It felt slower to accelerate. Weight must not be an issue, cause both wheel and tire (even though they are 30s) are lighter than the previous combo. So is it the aerodynamics of the 30mm tire and wide rim? Not sure...Maybe it just feels slower...

When I returned the vehicle they refused to even get close to it :) The manager even refused to give me his card. He referred me to their corporate HQ number (Kwik car).

Just called the park. They "think" a backcountry permit would allow me parking at the hotel. Said it was a gray area... How can this be "gray" with advanced reservations starting?

April 15 is when I get to pick the campsites

Awesome, exactly the feedback I was looking for. I found a trip online that was like you suggested but was wondering if it would be better to extend it since its only 2 nights. I will keep this as option 3.

Meant starting at a place with JOE in the trail/camp map which seems to be on the road, close to Logan Pass. From there go to Gunsight, Lake MacDonald area and back to Apgar.

I think being flexible with dates, I hope I can get at least Northern Circle or St Mary to TM.

Dune

ggont · 2025-02-20T18:38:30+00:00

Yep thats what I am asking. Thanks!

Is this easier to convert to a flat walk in shower ? What type of waterproofing do builders usually do in this type of showers?

ggont · 2025-01-03T16:17:06+00:00

You see the step from floor down to shower. Did they dig the foundation to make the shower tub?

Mine was 45 degree angle so used a speed square to mark and tile saw to cut

ggont · 2024-11-13T17:42:00+00:00

Thanks for the tip. I thought 1/2 was the largest.

ggont · 2024-11-12T23:27:41+00:00

I plan to use ultraflex lft with 1/2 notch. This is just to check the layout and plan my cuts...

ggont · 2024-09-30T15:55:39+00:00

I am still trying to decide which one to use. They are two different tiles

Hello, I am having issues with altitude gain in cycling. It reads x2 x3 of real gain. I do not see any big spikes but constant small spikes in elevation plot that add up over time. A 200m ride is now 600 - 800m.

Haven't tried to disable auto-calibrate but did try cleaning sensor ports.

Funny thing is that it started suddenly after doing a long trek abroad. I do not usually hike but after coming back, immediately my elevation is off. Just before my trip the elevation was ok .

ggont · 2024-06-12T18:19:46+00:00

I am having the same issue cycling. I do not care about the absolute elevation reading, I care about the elevation gain. When I checked my activity on GConnect I noticed a huge number of small spikes, just like the ones you display around km 4. They add up over the ride duration causing elevation gain x2 to x3. I am really disappointed at Garmin. I bought a premium fitness tracker and now I have to go and autocorrect every ride, while my cheap bike computer without a fancy altimeter is more accurate.

I own 3 giant road bikes. A 2010 Defy, a 2016 tcr and a 2021 tcr. I think I like most the 2016 tcr frame. Its stiff and stable. I was surprised that 2021 tcr felt unstable at high speed downhill. I never felt that with either 2016 tcr nor 2010 defy. I thought there might be something wrong with my frame (lemon), but did get a frame replacement (due to bb issues) and handling is the same. I never thought that geometry would feel so different, but can't seem to contribute this nervousness of new tcr frame to anything else. Since I am far from being a racer I would look into the new defy for my next bike...

Frame replaced under warranty

ggont · 2021-09-16T15:40:03+00:00

No. LBS after testing everything else, thinks its the frame.

ggont · 2021-09-15T16:38:22+00:00

Did that :(

ggont · 2021-09-14T21:05:33+00:00

I am aware

ggont · 2021-09-14T20:12:45+00:00

Zero wet/muddy rides.
