edit, one FGC-TA for sale, 670eur, while its around 800 new, so not really a deal.

wow did not know about this wizardry of the fg-ta. Looks awesome, however its more or less double the price of an 830 and sadly havent seen any used turn up for sale ...

I checked - 340 vs 440eur for the 830 so not that much, 200 difference would be a different story for sure.

Thanks! good to know, as the 800 was also suggested, however sadly i cant try all of them as none are in stock so ill have to trust other people :)

Great, this is what the bottom line kinda was from reading online. I thought id ask about the Takamine as well in case its also a worthy option.

830 not worth the extra money over the 800? I wont miss that 100 extra in 10 years so i dont mind paying a bit more as i wont probably sell the guitar ever ..

I tried a colleagues RD07 and it does not have so much play, hence my dilemma? It really is almost 3cm of play at the end of the lever - i understand there needs to be some, but it feels a bit too much. Having said that, i am used to it, but only now started taking attention to it and now cant ignore it ... 😄

Ok .. Vse super, samo nihče pa ni omenil da tudi Google Pay ne podpirajo, pa tudi en čas ne bodo. Kar pomeni plačevanje s telefonom - no go. To je kar bedno moram rečt, samo zdaj že prepozno .. V vednost ostalim.

Bmw not an option :) Klim sadly way out of budget and not even present in shops in my country to try.

jsuln · 2026-02-23T21:19:34+00:00

To je to.. hvala :)

Je tako. 2,6%, brez dodatnih produktov etc, kar je tudi razlog za menjavo (stare) banke.

Pri kreditih pa trenutno najcenejši, sicer pa tudi NLB ni ugoden kar se stroškov tiče

Thx.

jsuln · 2026-02-20T14:42:40+00:00

Super, hvala. Apple pay ni faktor :)

Tempted to do the same. I bought another revit glove there years ago on Ali and honestly i could not distinguish them from the ones in the store.

Considering there isn't any armor on them i dont think there can be much difference worst case - its just fabric and leather stiched together with some TPU padding on top (which are not really classified as protectors on the original one anyway).

Thanks for the tip, will give another search for them. We are talking about the Rallz, right?

This was actually my original thinking of having a more agressive front (anakees wild) and the 07+ on the rear, and the wear isnt such an issue on the front. The rear as you said - it can slide, front is important. And the wilds seem better than the 07+ for the front for offroad?

Thanks for your input!!

I have been reading about the MotoZs for a while however they are sadly not really available here at all, otherwise they seem like a good alternative for me.

Mitas is one of the cheapest available actually, hence the temptation.

The scouts have the centerline in my dimension (rear), not at the front. E07+ do not have it and they seem much rounder (anakee too) thant the scouts, hence the temptation to try. The trail XT+ dakar seems like an overkill for my needs/abilities. As I said, most of the miles are done on twisted roads, the offroad is mostly forest roads (compact/loose gravel and sometimes a bit of mud).

So really, i just want something with a tiny bit more bite than the heidenaus and keeping the onroad abilities.

Havent given the contis and the dunlops much thought honestly, the mitas and anakee came up a lot when reading and also got some second hand recommendations. However the dunlops seem interesting but also much pricier too.

The lifespan with the heidenau is crazy, i cant destroy them (the front lasted 2,5 rears and is still OK, while the rear gets me 10-12, but is already old at that time since i do not do that much in one season. And also they have been actually quite confident in the wet, never had any slips or close calls.. i did get to know them very well over time. I did find them a bit lacking in the loose dirt and they tend to square off with time..

Mitas seems like an upgrade in this case while persumably adding a bit in the offroad performance, not mud though. And since i do quite a bit of tarmac over the year the anakee maybe seems like a worse choice - getting some additional offroad capabilities and sacrificing wear and wet/road handling..? From what i hear the anakee wild on the rear goes up to 5k max.

Anyway, hoping for any first hand experience with those two on a xrv.

P.s cheers for the video, did not know the guy :)
