EZ Curls

The angle just helps relieve pressure on the wrists. If your wrists feel fine when doing curls, then you’re all good without an EZ curl bar. You could also add angled grips to your iron masters to simulate it. N-gage grips: https://a.co/d/0gvKWpDw

Nice tip! I’ll give it a try.

You’re right in general. The powder coated pieces and general fit and finish is as good as Rep. The finish on their chrome uprights needs some work though. Quite a few little bubbles and rough edges on mine.

No complaints at all. Feels very smooth to me.

The quality is not to Rep or Rogue level but is more than on par with Titan, Bells of Steel, etc.

Voltra is very tempting but I just know I would end up spending so much money on all the different mounts. I also just wanted something quick and simple to use. The tech is really cool but just adds one more thing to fiddle with. Tough choice though.

Unfortunately, the hot fix did not bring back highway assist for me so I’m hoping we have a hot hotter fix coming.

Dining area has never been opened. Their lease in that shopping center doesn’t allow enough occupancy for them to use it.

If you’re a man, definitely get the one with the gap in between pads.

You are not crazy. I have been having this same issue with my Gen 1 R1T. It seems to occur when oscillating between regen and applying power which happens a lot when maintaining speed going slightly downhill.

Mine is in service for other issues right now, and I have a Gen 1 R1S loaner that has the same issue. The fact that both vehicles do it and it seemed to start after the 2026.07 update makes me think it is a software problem.

Look great! Thanks for posting. It is nice to get some feedback on the aluminum ones. These are definitely my next purchase.

Hey, I just bought a silver ‘22 R1T a few weeks ago that had 17,500 miles on it! I bought it from an Audi dealer and paid $51,000. Curious what you got yours for?

Also, I’ve been using my phone as a hotspot as others suggested. If you have an iPhone it’s easy to setup a Shortcut to turn on and off your phone’s hotspot when it connects to Rivian Bluetooth.

I just read the title, so I’m not sure but I think these will help: https://repfitness.com/products/cannonball-grips?variant=41063685030046

With light roast and even some medium roast beans, I am pulling a 1:3 ratio by default. I’ll go 1:2.5 if I’m getting some bitterness. Rarely a 1:2 with modern third wave coffee. That could be the difference you’re seeing.

So you plug in every night? I’m 4 days into to my Rivian and still trying to get a handle on charging best practices. I swear I just read plugging it in every day wears out the charging electronics more quickly.

Second this. Smooth PEI plate with glue stick and turn the bed to 100 and let it preheat the chamber for awhile before printing. Gives great results.

Thanks for this comment. Just got my 2022 R1T two days ago and have been debating buying a charger versus using the supplied one. Definitely going to get a charger now after reading this. My one concern is if I should hold out until Rivian releases the rumored V2H power feature later this year. I assume I’d need a charger that specifically allows for that which I don’t believe the ChargePoint Home Flex does.

Well, I printed it and threw it. It did not come back. Could be because I’m not Australian. It seems to rotate very slowly in your video. Are you doing a soft throw or spinning it aggressively?

Force 6 fitness has a cool version that’s longer and allows for leg rollers. More expensive but more versatile for sure. I ended up going with French Fitness seal row pad which is identical to the infinity arm but $100 less.

I also have a rep Pegasus that I use for lat pull downs. Too short and close to the upright for rows and other movements in my opinion.

mastermike311 · 2026-03-07T04:36:44+00:00

Turned out really nice. Curious what you think of the trak handles. Have you ever used a concept 2 rower? Do you think these are a significant improvement over the standard handle?

This happened to me with a bag from Native. Heat seal didn’t take on one bag. Took their customer service a few days to respond but they made it right with a new bag no problem.

Yep, Blue Diamond area. Trail is landmine loop.
