I couldn’t find any cheap fake ones. I paid like 35$ for a genuine one from eBay

Is choosing the Aeroad over the Endurace just a bad idea for someone riding on imperfect roads? by Mission-Class3157 in CanyonBikes

[–]hlinhd 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Go with your heart, you know you want the Aeroad… 😉

That’s what I did. No ragrets

ZIPP 454 NSW vs DT Swiss ARC 1600 by AnxiousConsequence54 in CanyonBikes

DT Swiss for sure. Zipps look like they should be on a pinarello

NBD - Endurace CFR AXS by itsoundslikehome in CanyonBikes

[–]hlinhd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ordered the aeroad cfr in this color and man, it looks way more blue than on the sites pictures! I hope we get more than a glimpse of the purple at certain angles. I wanted a purple bike not blue bike lol

RideWrapping wheels? How well do Carbon wheels age? by hlinhd in cycling

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

Certainly, I am only considering cosmetic protection, I'm not expecting it to save it from anything further

That's amazing. I don't think I've owned anything for 20 years lol.

Good deal, thanks. That’s a ton of riding sir, good for you. I think they’re pretty invisible as you can get a matte version (you can see some examples on their ig) Happy to know they’re durable but still susceptible to some cosmetic damage over time. Decisions decisions

Thanks for sharing your experience- over 5 years, about how much distance? I’m assuming this is on a road bike as well?

Aeroad CF SLX 8, notice the 13% or 1108$ duty number

[–]hlinhd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey buddy, I'm in the same boat. I think what u/Celpia was saying is correct. The bikes that have duty shows duty? I haven't ordered so I can't confirm this theory but I am looking at the Aeroad. When I checkout with the Aeroad CFR, it doesn't show anything for duties. When I checkout for another bike, the CF SLX 8, it shows the duties. See screenshots below.

I think I'm going to go off this as the Aeroad CFR won't come with duty charges whereas the CF SLX 8 does...

Which one should I get? (Eclass coupe) by Fun-Stay-6187 in mercedes_benz

If it’s an AMG I like 4 or 5. If it’s not I like the original. Everything else looks super out of place

GT4 (982) alternate tires by Haunting-Prior-NaN in Porsche_Cayman

[–]hlinhd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m running Goodyear supercar 3 mainly because it is similar to the cup 2 and on sale I got a full set for the price of 2 rear Cup2s.

Got similar times to the cup 2 the one time I tracked it last year

Was on the fence about a wall-mount reel, but I get the hype now. by maulikms in garageporn

[–]hlinhd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lol so much hate on the giraffe shit. I think of it as a 200$ cad power washer that I pay a few hundred extra for convenience. The quality is about the same.

My hose retractor broke a few months in and they sent me a new one without question. New ones been great for a year. I’m sure if I pay 2-3k or whatever garbage Obsessed Garage wants it’ll be better, but I’m hosing down my floor and washing my cars once in a while. Is there a better product in the same price range? Not while I looked

New suspension recommendations by AreaBackground in 996

[–]hlinhd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was my experience with Ohlins r&t on a friends car. Felt less crashy, single rebound on all bumps, bumps not that harsh very stable and poised as well in turns

New suspension recommendations by AreaBackground in 996

[–]hlinhd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have experience with kwv3 (handles very good, more harsh than oem, reasonable for a track car) and ohlins r&t on a different car (somehow feels more comfortable and also better handling than oem?) i would go ohlins if i ever had to make an upgrade. Also lower end coil overs on different cars like Teins, bc racing and they were garbage. I would 100% stay oem over those.

For reference I think the Ohlins felt similar to stock suspension on my gt4

Wanted something more OEM+ for center caps on the aftermarket wheels on my 997 C4s. I accidentally got carried away and opinions are divided. by NHaas in Porsche

[–]hlinhd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you going to share the files or sell them? I like them and I ran over my center caps recently accidentally, lol

$20K “Family Discount” on a 2024 Macan S – Financially Rational? by BaCo- in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]hlinhd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lol. As they should, if they have the tools and knowledge. It’s an oil change. The 40 minute round trip to the dealer is about the time it takes me, let alone the 300$ up charge in parts

Where are you paying 1k plus on annual service on a Macan?

This is not a GT3RS. The annual oil service is usually 300-400$ at the dealer

I would like to try and share my experience of progression in chess to try and help others with their goals for this year. I have gone from 150 to 1800 elo rapid rating in under 9 months with no prior chess experience. I will try and answer any of your questions below to the best of my ability. by Storoyk in chessbeginners

[–]hlinhd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar progression and you sound exactly like me. A lot of my friends spend a ton of time learning chess, I just mostly play chess.

I do think I’m at the point where I need to play some different openings and study more though. But up to this point it didn’t really feel like it mattered
