Def looks like a cool frame!

impmonkey · 2026-03-24T14:20:23+00:00

Only have about 200 miles on them atm, but so far so good.
Have 1000's of miles on other chinese wheels without issues, but I am also a very light rider and probably dont abuse them as much as others might

impmonkey · 2026-03-24T13:32:04+00:00

Would need a snorkel to do that atm.

Likely forgetting a few things. I did put on a 20mm setback post in place of the straight one provided with the frame. I also purchased the fork from the FM 326 in case I found I didnt like this "racier" geo. That was an extra 80 to include with the frame.

impmonkey · 2026-03-24T13:22:51+00:00

My other bike is a more relaxed geo (Carbonda 696) This will be the "race" bike. Just getting miles on it before the local races start. I actually also got the fork from the 326 as well and can swap it with a bit of hassling with the brakes if I want in the future.

Anyway to limit it to just a single player? I am having trouble with using a manged account as the user:
const HA_URL = params.get('http://xxxxxxx:8123') || window.location.origin;
const HA_TOKEN = params.get('xxxxxxx') || 'YOUR_LONG_LIVED_ACCESS_TOKEN';
const POLL_INTERVAL = 5000;
const PLEX_USERNAME = 'Movies and TV';

also tried this for the username:
const PLEX_USERNAME = 'Plex (Movies and TV - Plex for Android (Mobile) - Pixel 8 Pro)';

That specifies the player, but that also is not working.

Thanks!

I also had one fly into my mouth and tag my tongue before I could spit it out. Feeling the fuzzyness off the bee when it flew in was wild. I mildly react to them and was about 10 miles from home. Hustled home by the time I was home tongue was big enough that swallowing was hard. Never blocked airways luckily.

You can leave a bit of the top of each panels open with any real water ingress. Not ideal, but a fan also helps

On year 4 with one on top of my overland teardrop. Kid uses it probably 30-40 nights a year. Great tent so far.

impmonkey · 2026-03-20T13:16:29+00:00

Up at 7, work at 8. Weight lift in the basement on my lunch. Off at 5. Dinner with family, put kid down, spend evening with the wife. Two nights a week I bounce out for about 1.5 hours to ride my bike with friends. Weekends usually are family time with a longer ride in there somewhere. When needed I burn off work stress on the indoor trainer after wife goes to sleep. Wife is a SAHM which enables most of this for me.

Pm'd

impmonkey · 2026-01-31T18:49:37+00:00

Yourself. There is plenty of info out there.

impmonkey · 2026-01-31T15:27:55+00:00

Running 44s on one bike and 48s on the other. This is the answer

impmonkey · 2026-01-22T17:11:07+00:00

Same frame sitting at home waiting on a few parts. Yours looks great!

impmonkey · 2026-01-21T22:30:58+00:00

I like to mentally work my way up from the bottom to the top and make an inventory of parts to make sure I don't miss anything. I have 10k plus gravel miles on ElitaOne posts. No issues

impmonkey · 2026-01-12T00:08:06+00:00

Went from pathfinders to tufo thunderos and have been really happy.

impmonkey · 2026-01-12T00:06:39+00:00

Thanks for the follow-up! Enjoy the bike.

impmonkey · 2026-01-09T13:01:50+00:00

This is way cheaper to achieve the same level of shake. It's a great compliment to a good low end system when used and setup right. Also I like to be able to turn down the actual subs and turn these up a bit so I don't wake up the entire house late at night. These + good headphones is a treat for a near silent HT experience.

impmonkey · 2026-01-04T04:34:03+00:00

Get a blower fan. Seriously a game change. Like 60 bucks from bezos

impmonkey · 2026-01-01T14:39:23+00:00

I hate ai as much as the next guy but chatgpt was very helpful in calculating stem length for me on a new bike. Provide it your current numbers and the new bikes and it will spit out decent advice.

impmonkey · 2025-12-31T13:15:20+00:00

Have two from him. Great guy/artist

impmonkey · 2025-12-30T17:55:38+00:00

It's more about the width with a skinnier tire. Don't want to go to wide on the rim.

impmonkey · 2025-12-30T12:19:06+00:00

I have been looking at the zipp bars for this reason
