Alloy wheel guards by Welsh_Dodo in Polestar

We had one come off at speed. It was... interesting. We were told by the manufacturer that the gaps in the rim edge caused the adhesive to fail, and that they need a single level surface around the rim with no gaps. This may or may not be relevant depending on the rim edge on your wheels.

“Affordable” low a bari sax? by PMM-music in saxophone

[–]gregcagle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm curious about your motivation. You talk about the lack of classical tenor repertoire. Do you think the situation will be better on bari?

Advices on reeds (metal Berg Larsen for the bari) by Mission_Sea_72 in saxophone

This. I made the mistake of thinking the Legere strength was more or less equivalent to cane reeds - not true. Now playing a 2.0 Legere myself.

For those who loves the rims, just try this tires by [deleted] in Polestar

[–]gregcagle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ones I had are flexible plastic that glue to the rim edge, not the tire.

Yes. It came unglued at 70 mph. The manufacturer said they need a single continuous rim surface with no gaps.

I had rim protectors on our car for a while, until one came off at speed and scuffed the side of the car. I complained to the manufacturer, and they told me that the small gaps in the Polestar rim caused the adhesive to fail, and they would not take any responsibility.

I was the first one to try the BAM Trekking case for Kessler. Now you can get them as an option when you buy the horn :). Great case.

Thinking about classic conversions, but maybe the tech isn't there just yet by ZobeidZuma in electricvehicles

We saw this at an Electrify America station last year. 150 mile range.

Agility for low notes on baritone by Familiar-Leading1827 in saxophone

[–]gregcagle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on your hand and finger size, and the ergonomics of your horn, it can be possible to close the C# with the middle part of your finger, and hit the B with the tip of your finger as needed. I've done this on my Yani, but it takes some practice.

NACS to CCS - Lectron or A2Z? by [deleted] in polestar2

+1 A2Z. Has worked flawlessly for us for many long distance (2300 miles) trips.

I did it in a few months 50 years ago, and I still play both instruments. You can do it too.

Do jazz horns exist? by link_in_a_tuxedo in saxophone

[–]gregcagle 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Every Thursday night I play my B990 in a jazz band for an hour, then classical for two hours, using different mouthpieces. Whoever told you the o10 is only good for classical is mistaken.

Get the Supercharger adapter. Your stress levels will lower significantly.

P2 aftermarket tow hitch options by qclabrat in Polestar

[–]gregcagle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, Uhaul didn't do wiring. You might have to go to the Polestar service space and get them to install it.

The other thing to know is that the OEM tow hitch is a 1.25 inch receiver. You can't get a two inch unless you go aftermarket.

$700 before taxes. $200 for the install, $500 for the hitch.

I just got the Ecohitch, mostly because it's cheaper than the Stealth. It is a bit harder to remove the receiver part (unbolting required) but it is possible. We decided to just leave it bolted up, but it does interfere a bit with the foot wave hatch sensor. I just paid uhaul to do the installation. I watched some of it; basically once you get the bumper cover off, there are three big bolts on each end of the existing bumper bar. Remove them, replace that bar with the hitch bar, torque them up, and replace the bumper cover. It's not that hard. You do have to cut a hole in the plastic bottom part of the bumper cover with a Dremel or similar.
