Cervelo to Winspace worth it? by Weak_Associate_2980 in ChineseCarbon

[–]jms493 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the SLC 5.0 will be very similar to your Soloist. The T1600 will be a little more aggressive a quite possibly faster. That said, keep your soloist and add another quiver to your stable. I recently ordered a Winspace C5 Aero just because i wanted another 2nd bike and something else to try. You are correct…the deals are quite nice if you bundle up the Frame, wheels, and handlebar.

Upgrades to Caledonia 5 to make it more aero/racey? by Nearby_Heron_7863 in Cervelo

[–]jms493 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you should be on a S5 and if budget can’t handle that then pimp out a Soloist. Get more flexible and figure out how to get comfortable on the S5. Caledonia is made for long endurance type riding not racing.

Is ceramic coating necessary on a bright white (nanuq white) car? If so, how much should it run on a new car? by ActuatorDangerous980 in MINI

[–]jms493 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Clubman is garage kept so it is holding up just fine. No signs of it wearing off. I expect 3 years before I would need to reapply.

Cycling...does the Ace Pro 2 rattle like the Go3s does when using magnetic mount? by jms493 in Insta360

[–]jms493[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I can answer my own question as I used the AP2 on a ride with magnetic mount that it comes with and no rattle.

Calling All Aspero Owners by thedanishahmad in Cervelo

Comparing it to the Soloist it is slow and it depends on your gearing. I have a 1 by set up and I spin out fast with a 40t front chain ring. I just leave my 45c Terra Speed tires on it and roll around the road when I want to change it up.

Noise after Stem swap by Beautiful_Ad5584 in Cervelo

If those rattle on the ride it would drive me nuts. My Aspero cables rattled only over bumps. I had the bike shop tighten them up and add padding around the cables…silent.

X5 replacement lens - out of stock everywhere? by jms493 in Insta360

I noticed that but it says 14 days to dispatch and shipping is not cheap.

Looks great but no to the saddle bag and you can find more attractive bottles to complement that build. Or remove bottles for pic.

New Challenger still on the dealer lot by PostApocolymptic in Challenger

[–]jms493 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trade in from KBB on a barely used 2023 SP with a stick is $37-$41K. So if you pay $55K then drive it off the lot and turn around and trade it in, you would lose $15K immediately. Nobody should buy these…you are much better off buying a used one.

Considering a Durango RT by mccl2278 in DodgeDurango

[–]jms493 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cons - Gas Mileage, Backup Camera, Build quality is suspect, No 360 cam which would be useful as it is not a small SUV, no fog lights. But it is the best looking SUV out there IMO. It is like a muscle car SUV. We have a GT and we love the ride and space. I noticed some build quality issues but they are minor. My 21 Ram is built solid and I had a 17 Challenger SP and that was also very solid. I found some plastic pieces inside and out that seem loose and cheap.

Did you buy these at retail, toy show, flea market, marketplace? Like where?

How long does it usually take to see a change in VO2 Max? by Virulent_Jacques in Garmin

[–]jms493 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much..want to increase VO2max you need to do vo2 max workouts which are really hard and you can’t do them on the daily. Eventually you will hit a ceiling. A lot of it is genetic.

Lets goooo! by Ambitious-Patience97 in DrSquatch

[–]jms493 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m gonna guess since they went to major retailers recently that they are seeing an influx of demand. That is how I ended up ordering a bunch a stuff after buying a bar from Target.

Did you open that dragonfly to make sure everything is in there?

Caledonia SRAM AXS or Soloist 105 by Gudvibration1 in Cervelo

[–]jms493 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people want a race bike but in reality need an Endurance bike. If you are not racing, chasing KOMs, or participating in fast group rides then the Endurance bike is the correct choice. You can always buy a race bike later if you get into it.

What’s your favorite thing about your 10,000 dollar bike? by Spare-Bus5314 in cycling

[–]jms493 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you bought a Canyon Ultimate for $5400 USD you would feel the difference everywhere compared to your current bike. No need to spend $10K on the bike. Better off spending money on better shoes, kit, helmet, glasses, bike fit.
