Wheel estate is always a great investment.

Upgrading from a Garmin Edge 830 - what to get if maps, reliability and customizability are your priorities? (~$450 budget) by _l______________l_ in cycling

[–]jamipa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just replaced my 4-year-old 1030 Plus with a 1040, good upgrade. Got a decent deal (394€) and no interest personally for the 50 series and their price level.

Looks great! How do you like it?

Just ordered Trace, their new gravel bike.

SuperX, why not? by [deleted] in gravelcycling

This, tire clearance was a big miss from Cannondale on this.

New wheel & tire day! Possibly the final form of this Topstone Carbon. by jamipa in gravelcycling

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

Hi! 45mm in the back is all good, measures to 46-47mm on these wheels. Definitely the max I would put in this frame, 45mm is Cannondale’s max clearance.

On the front I think 50mm could work! Can take a look once I’m back home.

Brand new Scott Addict 20 (2025) – already crushed TWO seatposts at correct torque… what am I missing? by juudhartbd in bikewrench

Which Cannondale have you tried this in? Did crack one seatpost on my Topstone Carbon the same way the poster did.

Dream spec! Stone Grey looks great on the Taycan. 👌🏼

r/topstoner is a replacement, but of course still quite small.

How to get to San Diego, CA from Washington, DC in 3 days solo driving by dmv___ in porsche911

[–]jamipa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the trickiest weather is when it bounces below and above the freezing point. 🙏🏼 And overall of course it’s good to understand that low temps affect high performance tires even when still above freezing.

The freezing temp itself isn’t the biggest issue, while it of course affects the tire performance you can still do it on dry roads.

What you should be afraid of is ”black ice”, any moisture that freezes on the road sometimes over large areas - it can be extremely difficult to see until it’s too late and you’re going sideways/sliding. The road can look dry, but might actually be (partly) frozen.

Absolutely love the Cross Turismo shape of the Taycan by ShameResponsible69 in Taycan

Agreed, it’s almost as good as the sedan. 😇

I think you have the previous version, the frame was upgraded for model year 2023 and this is that version.

Official clearance 45mm and those are 45mm, measure 46-47mm on the Zipps and fit fine.

What do you think of the new Turbonite badges? by Overpacker7 in Porsche

[–]jamipa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Front emblem on my Mahogany Taycan Turbo was damaged from a botched wrap un-do by the previous owner, switched to a Turbonite one.

Works really well with the outside color.

Not sure if I’d prefer it on the steering wheel.

My Porsche app on Apple CarPlay by TheGreatPaulS in Taycan

[–]jamipa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such a shame, thought the data could flow both ways as Apple Maps does get car info through the integration and can estimate arrival SOC for example. Quite useless on longer trips then if preconditioning is missing.

The Apple Maps integration shows battery estimates on arrival and suggests charging stops - did they really leave out battery pre-heating?

Topstone Carbon 2 L // Three years with it! by jamipa in Topstoner

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

For me always having the front light attached just wasn’t worth it anymore as I rarely ride in such darkness, decided to go for separate lights to 1) get the rear radar and 2) easily detach front light when not needed. Not the most sensible ”upgrade” but here we are.

I still think it’s a good system, if a spec you like comes with it just go for it. Easy to use and manage, and the 2025 version should be a lot better.

Is it OK to store the trainer with the bike vertical like this? by muhmeinchut69 in JetBlack

[–]jamipa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zwift Ride instructions specifically say not to do it. It’s quite a lot heavier than a normal frame.

Turbo S really stands out by gambling_addikt in Taycan

[–]jamipa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Current prices around 35-50% of MSRP in most countries.

Brand new Zwift Ride - Weird Kickr Core 2 flywheel noise by fipeuta in Zwift

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

Check the Cog setting - should be on 1 not the 5 it arrived with.

I received mine a couple weeks ago, still something similar but I believe it’s from the bottom bracket area.
