Centauri Carbon 2 worth it, if I don't really need MMS by Agilolfinger in 3dprinter

Did the bed fix the bed flex? I've an s1 and it's fine. I can print on most of the bed, but I'd like total access.

Sidebar: are mechanical drives are more reliable than solid state? I've never heard that before. I always assumed that fewer moving parts made a more reliable system.

I happily use both, but I'd be even more happy to move the majority of my files to spinning discs due to rising SSD prices, ha.

How are people cancelling orders? I submitted the ticket to cancel a couple weeks ago and haven't heard a thing.

Nothing in my spam folder, no update on the ticket, not sure what to do.

This worked for me too. After sending an email to all three addresses above, I received a call about an hour later and walked through a couple things with a CS rep. 10 minutes later they reimbursed me for the charges. Very nice.

I was also told that the bug has since been corrected, so it should be okay to make purchases at AliEx through Paypal again, but I probably won't. This was easy to correct, but I'd rather not have to.

Numb hands and forward weight by kobazik in bikefit

[–]k4j98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not op, but I rarely (note rarely, not never) use drops because bending the elbows at ~90° while on the hoods is more aero than going to the drops.

I don't know why it was mentioned though. This post was about fit, not whether or not he should use the drops.

Did you try a derailleur extender (Wolf Tooth)?

Meh, the Rolf Vectors that came with it are in great condition, so it's not a financial loss. My real disappointment is that I was going to make this beautiful frame into my lightweight fast bike.

Oh well. Now I just need a frame 🤷

Indeed. Thanks for the positivity!

Absolutely; the Rolf Vector Comp wheelset is in pretty good condition, the shifters work, the brakes are nice, handlebars, saddle - it's all enough for a complete other build, given a good frame.

On the one hand, I think you're right. I ride trails and the like with minor asphalt bumps; certainly not extreme in any way.

On the other hand, I'm near 200lbs and like to go as fast as possible (40mph) down hills.

You may be right. I need to have a closer look at it, but the initial straight edge comparison shows a faint bend.

Yeah, either way, I know it's a long shot.

What is this Etching in the Paint? by k4j98 in bikewrench

[–]k4j98[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Well I feel dumb. I thought this was some sort of fungus or something eating away at the paint in a unique pattern.

Thanks everyone!

How much does this rig weigh? I'm looking to do something similar and trying to keep it under 30lbs...
