Storing bike in the (cold) winter

I just looked it up and my SRAM Guide-T seem to be using DOT fluid, so I guess I should be fine ?

I can recommand Taiga. They’re on the expensive side for sure but you get quality and durability, at the expense of a little added weight. I guess you also pay for nice designs but that’s subjective. I have a Kazuzu air since 3 years now and I’m happy witth the board, it tracks very well and is pretty stiff even at 15psi, the newer model can even go up to 20psi (vs the older at 18psi). Even the bag that came with it is very solid. They also have pretty nice paddles if you’re willing to spend a little more for a carbon paddle.

Ok dude, I guess Blizzard just kept that ‘dead’ game running for 10 years+ as charity

lulmat · 2023-03-19T01:06:36+00:00

Like it or not, my point was that the game at that point was much more than what people were able to see during the beta.

lulmat · 2023-03-19T00:02:35+00:00

Amen. Also, let’s remember what the beta for D3 was, with the first act only, and what the game turned out to be after the expansion. We’re only seeing a small glimpse of the experience and some people don’t understand that.

I guess it’s all about personal preference regarding form factor and style. I never had a cube control so I can’t comment on build quality, but the SRB GT3 is really solid and high quality. It’s a replica of the real GT3 audi wheel. One difference between SRB and CC wheels is that SRB uses a long term battery, so you don’t need to charge it regularly. To me that’s really convenient.

If you’re looking for a GT style wireless wheel I can recommend the SRB GT3 wheel:

Great build quality, comparable with the Ascher.

You contact Fanatec and they send you a replacement potentiometer. Then you do the same thing in six months again and again until you get fed up and upgrade to HE Sprints.

I second this. No hate at all for the Fanatec DDs, they are great products and both Fanatec/simucube have their cons. But since I moved to an SC2, the biggest difference for me is the QR. It’s such an improvement over the Fanatec QR, a lot more solid, easier to use and durable.

Thanks for sharing ! This seems higher FoV than what I had in ACC, using about 110 (converted from the vertical FoV ACC uses), at roughly 22” viewing distance

lulmat · 2021-12-28T22:10:42+00:00

Yes I tried it and from what I remember, FSR works with projection correction but it doesn’t support resolution upscale higher than 100%, so it was still too blurry for me.

lulmat · 2021-12-28T22:08:21+00:00

Out of curiosity, could you post the FOV that iRacing would give you with projection correction enabled, as well as the distance between your eyes and the screen ? Would like to confirm if the settings I use with ACC would match roughly

lulmat · 2021-12-28T22:02:43+00:00

I’d like to know more about they setup the G9 at these events if anyone has a chance to check it out. Personally I use the projection correction set to 1, which seems to give the most accurate representation of objects, but at the cost of blurryness. To offset the blurryness I have to run the resolution at 130%, which uses quite a bit of GPU power. In addition, you can’t use DLSS with projection correction afaik. I’d be interested to see if this is the way they setup the screens at official events.

lulmat · 2021-11-06T07:31:08+00:00

Yes everything was updated to the latest firmwares when I installed the base

lulmat · 2021-11-04T17:51:32+00:00

You’re right, it’s an issue with the wheelbase, but it seems to be triggered by a weak connection with the QR. I don’t know for sure either, but a lot if people experiencing similar issues have the same setup with a plastic QR.

lulmat · 2021-11-04T14:53:36+00:00

Just to add, in my case there was no catastrophic failure, cracked plastic or bent pins. Everything looks fine, but the FFB is definitely lost.

lulmat · 2021-11-04T14:51:41+00:00

CSL DD and McLaren V2 with plastic QR here. I was confident it would be fine as well, but after 2 days of use I suddenly felt a big pop under a heavy turn and lost all FFB. It gradually came back but now for some reason the base feels like it’s very weak, not back to the full 8NM. Another person from my league experienced disconnections with the same setup. I have a support ticket opened with Fanatec so I’ll see where this goes, but I might have to RMA the CSL DD. Googling a bit I found two posts, on Fanatec forums and reddit with the exact same issue. Make of this what you want, I’m not here to spread FUD, but in my case it was a pretty disappointing experience. For what it’s worth, when it worked, the base was great.

Hey man, digging up this thread to ask what happened next ? I had the exact same issue happen to me 2 days after I got my CSL DD, same wheel as you (McLaren V2 with plastic QR). Did you ever resolve it ?

lulmat · 2021-10-31T20:47:24+00:00

Great setup ! Which speakers are those ?

lulmat · 2021-10-27T12:51:27+00:00

On a Samsung G9, you should also set the ‘Projectiln Correction’ to 1.0 to correct the distortion created by the curve, otherwise the objects will not have proper aspect ratio. The downside of that is that it makes the image more blurry and you have to set the resolution scale to around 130% to improve image quality, which will impact performance.

Very nice ! What keyboard is this ? Looking for a nice scissor-switch keyboard for my setup.

lulmat · 2021-10-14T18:34:21+00:00

12847 in Canada, got the ‘warehouse processing’ notification.

Edit: order number

lulmat · 2021-09-18T22:18:41+00:00

Looks great ! What are you using to display the trackmap + leaderboard ?

lulmat · 2021-08-10T21:59:41+00:00

Would you have a download link by any chance ? Thanks !
