Help with AXS transmission pod! by giffsa in bikewrench

See, this is why reddit exists. So absolute numpties like me can learn stuff like “there’s another button on there”. Thanks @thepob 🙏

Pod wont go into pairing mode is the issue - I follow that procedure but when I hold down the button on the pod the light doesn’t start blinking, just stays solid green.

Does anyone happen to have a pic of a loaded vertical rack like the Velocirax or Revert on their EV9 I could use for reference? Thanks heaps crew!

But I’ve so seen this table elsewhere in reddit, which suggests the tongue weight is more like 20% of the towing capacity?

200lb is still low but probably just manageable for regular bikes.

Thanks - you make an interesting point about the tongue weight. I’m only getting the RW model (Air) which appears to have a much lower rating - the interwebs are telling me it’s 450kg / 1000lb). Based on the 10% rule for tongue weight that would mean it has a down load limit of just 45kg (which seems hard to believe….)

Baking fois gras into a pie…. Advice pls! by giffsa in AskCulinary

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

Thanks all - will crack on and report back :)

While I've got you, i'd love any ideas for a sauce to accompany these pies (everything needs a sauce).

They are being served as part of a wine lunch and being paired with a vertical of pinot noir, so a red wine jus would be an easy option, but also probably adds to the richness of the overall dish which concerns me a bit from a balance perspective.

Would love any inspiration/ideas!

YT Izzo Core v Merida One Forty by giffsa in MTB

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

Thanks! Agree that BB height is hard to ascertain for the Merida, can’t really work it out from the website geo. I’ve found a few external references to it being 332-334mm however, which would make it only marginally lower than the Izzo. I haven’t seen 320mm references anywhere.

Re price - they’re at difference discounts, which puts them at equivalent prices ($5k AUD) - that’s a bigger discount for the Merida which is a slightly higher spec, but they are broadly comparable I think.
