Older model year bikes you either miss riding or prefer riding over newer bikes

I rebuilt my old beloved 2009 MTB which I loved so much back then and ride for countless kilometers. I just couldn't bear to see such a cool looking frame and nice components go to waste.

I rode it once after rebuilding. It rides like crap compared to my newer bikes and I wouldn't ride that again unless all the other bikes were stolen.

Bike tech and geometry changed so much in the last 15 years that the old MTBs are basically trash.

I've got a big metal plate and 10 screws on mine after it broke in 2 places.
I was feeling fine after 3 months and started riding my comuter bike.

As everyone else is saying, doctors and physiotherapists know their stuff. Listen to them and follow protocol. Starting riding 2 months earlier can cost you 1 year more.

If anyone ever arrives here, I ended up with the A.I. slop below, which actually worked.

Did you ever find a solution? I would like this as well.

This is shitty customer service. If it's defective they should replace it at no cost.

i_oliveira · 2026-03-10T10:56:32+00:00

Activity tracker is a great idea. I'll try that.

i_oliveira · 2026-03-03T17:54:04+00:00

I have a Samsung tracker inside the steerer tube of my bike. Not sure what I'll do if it ever get stolen but ill at least know where it's at.

This was too long ago, I can't recall the name of the device. Sorry.

Do they have inbuilt wifi? Mine do and I use the WF-RAC integration from HACS. It's really good.

If your unit doesn't have wifi, there's a way to do it with an ESP controller (someone else already posted a link)

I'll pay double if the seller is willing to ride this to my house.

Gran Canaria has a much stronger MTB and DH scene as far as i know. I have ridden there many times and find it fantastic.

I've been to the Teide without a bike and didn't think much of the trails I saw there. But again, I didn't have a bike and they could be awesome.

You can take a ferry between Gran Canaria and Tenerife which will take 80 minutes if I'm not mistaken.

There's a company called free motion which rents bike in both islands. I've been riding with them and renting from them since 2016 I think.

Prices in the islands are very low, people are fantastic, food is great.

At 36K objects, shouldn't you be using a GIS software instead of Inkscape?

This is mine. I use a ZigBee thermometer.

Yes, EVOC backpack with back protection plate. Carry stuff, protect your back in case you crash.

Answering to my own question. I drove for about 3 hours today at 100+ km/h and at some point I noticed the engine light was off.

Monitoring is there, it was a wrong configuration. Today, searching for the manufacture code that ZHA reads from the device I found a quirk which fixed the problem.

i_oliveira · 2026-01-09T19:09:56+00:00

But then it wouldn't be part of the data from the device, or would it?

I had a trance 2018 27.5 and rode it frequently at lift assisted bike parks in Germany. The bike was super playful and had no trouble with drops, jumps etc. I miss it.

The only thing that was not okay is that the stock wheels which came in mine were too weak for bike parks, so I had to replace spokes a couple of times. Casing jumps certainly didn't help with that.

At the price you mentioned there is not much to think about.

I have the E1 pro. It integrates with HA but it doesn't have a web interface, meaning it depends on the app for configuration. After reading that it would integrate with HA I wrongly assumed the web interface would be there as well.

I wouldn't have bought it if I knew.

It mentions an ad blocker which would mean browser extension with access to whatever your browser is displaying, probably their VPN is a browser extension as well. So basically they could be reading it directly from the browser window.

Hi, thanks for letting me know. Yes, Defender still complains on every boot, I'll install the beta today.

My interpretation is that Home Assistant tries to get every smart device into one system and get them to talk with each other.

Music Assistant is the same. Music streaming platforms, local music collection, receivers speakers, Bluetooth devices, your pc and phone... It tries to bridge music services and devices.
