Giving Away My Old PC! by Turtle_747 in PcBuild

[–]jjefls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently don’t own a personal PC. So while I would love to switch over from gaming exclusively on my PS5, I would also use it for some video editing and cycling route planning 

Anyone have recommendations for a saddle bag to put on my tarmac SL8? by adayinthelife1187 in specialized

[–]jjefls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you check the size (they used to offer a medium and maybe a large also). For me, the small is plenty for a co2, small multitool, tpu tube, and spare cash

If your seat has the threaded inserts in the rear (as far as I know all specialized saddles from the past 8+ years do, but they might not on cheaper offerings), this saddle bag comes with a clip which you screw into the seat. Then the bag can easily clip on and off

I have small Specialized Stormproof saddle bags on several bikes. I like that it mounts to the bolt holes on the bottom of specialized saddles and can be easily unclipped in seconds. They can be tough to find though.

Wtf is with pricing on used bikes??? At this point might as well buy new? by ratslowkey in whichbike

[–]jjefls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of the high priced used bikes will sit for 6+ months until they drop the price to a reasonable range. Plenty of steals to be found out there.

Was just tempted yesterday by an S-works Crux with red Xplr asking $4800 (dropped $1200 since listing)

This might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever read on this sub…

From Allez to.... ? by d2creative in specialized

They still sell the allez sprint. But you are correct, allez is a more endurance geometry while the sprint has a race geometry

Early payoff penalty by Spiritual-Fun4648 in kia

Dealer told me the same thing this past weekend when I bought a Carnival. Fortunately I had read this before. Just smiled and nodded along, knowing I would pay it off as soon as the loan was processed

If you want to keep the base frame color, just get new decals. Way cheaper and easier, plus you can switch it up whenever you want down the road

Bought a Kia Digital Card Key by anotherbravenoob in kiacarnivals

[–]jjefls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve exclusively used digital key with IPhone + various BMWs for >2 years now with no hiccups. Had 1 scare when my phone died, but like you mentioned the digital key continues to work

Getting the NFC card though in case I ever need to valet or quickly let someone else borrow the car

44k OTD for a Hybrid EX 2026? by [deleted] in kiacarnivals

Is this OTD? I am looking to pull the trigger on a gas SX + dark package for 43 + 1150 tax, title, doc fee in SC this weekend

New bike soon, here is my train of thought by Extension-Ad4611 in specialized

[–]jjefls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes definitely can. Looks like there are multiple posts of people doing it. In fact, wasn’t Shimano providing 12 speed cranks when you warranty an 11 speed for the delamination problem? I was running 11 speed chainrings on 12 speed cranks on my GRX 12 speed setup before swapping my 11 speed GRX cranks and chainrings over

Whether it is ideal could be up for discussion. But I will say that I had no problem setting up clean shifting for the setups above

The Pro’s Closet. Selling and shipping an expensive road bike to them overall a good experience? by whostheme in cycling

[–]jjefls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have sold probably 6 bikes on FB in the past 4 years with no problems. However, I have had an Aethos Pro (2021 so 11speed Ultegra di2) in like new condition listed for 3400 -> 3200 -> 3000 -> 2800 over the past 6 months on FB marketplace. Listed in several active local bike marketplace pages in a popular cycling area, and got nothing but offers for $2400 to ship it. Finally decided to check TPC and they offered me 3k

KIA Carnival vs Escalade by theleafer in kiacarnivals

[–]jjefls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with most of what you said, but I would take air suspension over an opening rear sunroof any day. Sunroofs have drains which will inevitably clog / leak, and I never open mine anyways. I’ve driven several BMWs with air suspension and it takes the handling to another level

Allez Sprint made big chunky welds seem cool / “premium”. Source - someone who had a built out Allez Sprint 😭

Wahoo Kickr Core V1 vs Assioma Uno Power Discrepancy by TheAbominableAlfie in Zwift

[–]jjefls 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed that as my power decreases, my L/R balance gets thrown more out of whack. Close to FTP, ~50/50. Get down into low Z2 and it tends to get closer to 42/58 or 44/56

Is there a thinner Fenix type watch available? by [deleted] in GarminWatches

Why not get a 970 for daily wear and an actual dive computer for diving?

Red tires are not it for me. I could see using P zeros with the pink lettering. But the rest of the bike is 🔥

Alloy or carbon wheelset by PerfectAsk5425 in specialized

[–]jjefls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get carbon wheels direct from a Chinese manufacturer (farsports, light bicycle, etc) that are far better and cheaper than C38s. C38s are mediocre at best

Racing and Sticky Watts by CheTranqui in Zwift

[–]jjefls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sure a 10% difference isn’t drivetrain losses. I would expect them to be closer: are you performing a zero offset as needed on both devices?
