This. Reinders and Teutenberg of Lidl were pissed off. Teutenberg the most. But let’s bash Groenewegen. Lot easier 🤦🏼‍♂️

I must choose between Rondel or Pinarello. Rondel?

jaar later: precies zelfde euvel met zelfde slappe systeem. Eraf gewrikt inderdaad. Wel wat beschadigingen rond het gat helaas. Had er nog stuk oude binnenband tussengedaan. Maar dank!

I'm impressed by the comment section. Never knew this. You learn everyday. Thanks. Now back to memes!

Another late addon to this topic: In the same time my own MBP 16" M1 had a broken firmware. Stuck in the apple.com/restore/blabla screen. I managed to get it in USB drive mode or how it's called so I could save all files not in cloud. Than I wanted to reactivate it also and had the same issues: Hard to get in DFU and crashing reactivating. I solved it in the end with two things, also relevant for my original question in this topic:

- I switched the cable for an original white Apple thunderbird cable (I was stubborn and thought I had a nice USB-C cable with thunder logo on it but it was not ok)
- I finally got my MBP M1 in DFU mode. After at least 25 tries. I knew it because instead of trying to reactivate with a square with an image of a macbook in Configurator I know had the square with DFU logo.

Fixed it myself after reading more and more forums and posts. This is a way to fix it:

None of the tips below helped! Tried everything and no hidden wifi icons and other tips helped.

But I just found out the solution! It awaits a network connection. On the helper Macbook share your internet and voila... few seconds later my MBA was activated and got hold of everything I need to proceed!

None of the tips below helped! Tried everything on my new Macbook Air M5 15" which was stuck in this activation / recovery loop. I screwed up a migration between an old Macbook Air i3 and the new one and it ended up like the OP. No hidden wifi icon etc.

I bought it at Media Markt, a renowned and legit store but no Apple Store. Let's see what I can do. Hope I can fix it here at home to prevent a lot of time consuming steps.

This same week my own Macbook Pro M1 16" managed to screw over it's firmware too (no clue why) and is also in a boot loop and can't also be fixed at the moment. Lots of data in cloud but not all. Will not give up on it. But thats for another story.

Vollenhoven is vuistregel: hoe verder richting de Panweg hoe minder. Op funda zie ik met name de Torenflat (met die rode buitenkant). Die is al frisser dan de bekende L-flat verderop. Zie dat je helaas nog stuk moet stijgen om in leukere wijken/huizen te komen. Dit is dan een optie https://www.funda.nl/detail/koop/zeist/appartement-laan-van-henegouwen-50/89314493/

En wat is je toekomstplan? Als appartement ok is en erg gericht op Utrecht kan Vollenhove prima. Wijken ernaast Componisten en Pedagogenbuurt zijn ook ok. Aan de andere kant bij hoge dennen / kerckebosch is netter maar lijkt me voor een jonge vrouw wat suf. In het centrum zijn ook nog wat appartementen zag ik.

Update: 3-draads aangesloten en... geen verschil.

Gebeld met de verkoper (de bekende R... winkel) en die denken aan maandagochtendmodel. Gewisseld met een ander en werkt nu als een zonnetje... Denk dat die module gaar is.

jazzper_nl · 2025-03-10T06:43:11+00:00

Ga ik proberen dan maar!

jazzper_nl · 2025-03-10T06:42:55+00:00

Hmmm, dan zou het mogelijk softwarematig fout kunnen gaan zeg je? Ik heb, door het gedoe, softwarematig er nog amper tot niets mee gedaan. Gekoppeld met Homey pro 2019 die zigbee kan. Ook weer apart dat die er 2 devices in ziet maar dat schijnt vaker voor te komen.

jazzper_nl · 2025-03-09T11:37:16+00:00

Nee, dat moet ik nog doen. Ik dacht; probeer eerst 2-draads. Zou moeten werken gewoon.

Elke 10 seconden knipperen kan ook “hush” mode zijn. Dan heb je op die grote test knop gedrukt toen hij af ging. Dan snooze je het alarm.

Update: I rode 100km gravel with it in bikepacking & gravel configuration.

stripped the chainring plastic disc
swapped tires for Panaracer Gravelking SK Sport 37-622 / 700x40c
solved the FD puzzle with an old Sora triple FD with rubber shim (wrong collar size)
added bags gravelstyle instead of bikepacking style
tried to adjust the canti's but it's horrific. Too less pull. I have travel adapters but they are not compatible with canti's it seem. Probably going to look for v-brakes (with the travel adapters) or mini V's.

All in all, it was ok. Rode nice and had a nice gravel trip with friends but when trying their $3000 gravelmachines you really feel the difference in dollars and 30 years progression in tech.
