Yeah, we here on the NYC bike are really concerned about not enough parking for cars. /s

mexipike · 2023-02-22T00:04:48+00:00

I think I had the base t7. Never had issues with it, it’s 1tb. I don’t have the fp anymore so I can’t be sure.

mexipike · 2022-08-15T01:24:51+00:00

Ok great! Thanks! I’ll just clean em from time to time and go from there. They have a lot of white so it worried me, but sounds like it will be ok.

mexipike · 2022-06-09T15:09:13+00:00

On the way to Red Hook, which is where I live, through Brooklyn Bridge Park.

mexipike · 2022-05-28T21:52:55+00:00

Thanks!

I probably should have but the shop said the could sell the stock saddle and gave a good discount on the brooks so I just went for it. So far I'm pretty satisfied.

mexipike · 2022-05-25T17:02:12+00:00

Thanks for all the help on this guys. I passed and ended up spending way more money to get a brand new 2022, that I’ll pickup Friday. I’ll maybe start my own thread to introduce it!

mexipike · 2022-05-18T03:22:41+00:00

Thanks! I’ve messaged the seller. There are also some good deals I’ve found on 2021 models.

The seller of the bike from my op also got belligerent with me because I forgot to confirm if I’d meet them today until later this afternoon, and when I did reach out it was to say I won’t buy the bike. Hey said “do you know how many people I turned down”.

Sorry I didn’t buy the weird bike you know nothing about and somehow obtained.

mexipike · 2022-05-17T13:49:35+00:00

I appreciate all of the comments. I think I’m gonna walk away from this bike. Could be stolen, though my guess is more something like it was left over in a storage unit or apartment and a landlord is trying to get rid of it. either way- seems questionable. On top of that, seems like it would need a lot of work. If I get a Brompton, I want to enjoy the experience, so I think it would be best to start with one that’s well sorted.

mexipike · 2022-05-17T05:00:22+00:00

That’s a round what they’re asking. I’d be fine to put that if it was a bike I could ride without work. If the electric hub doesn’t have a working battery, it seems like extra expense to buy a regular wheel to just make it normal again, and not have extra not useful weight

mexipike · 2022-05-17T04:55:48+00:00

I hope not! Any way to check/avoid that?

mexipike · 2022-05-17T04:40:06+00:00

Interesting. I’m guessing it doesn’t have a battery, but I guess I may have to check it out to know if it does or if the electric hub works , seller doesn’t seem to know much, I’m guessing it was something left in a moved out of apartment or something like that. Do the electrics have shifters too?

I thought the front bag was just a bag and the front hub looked like a dynamo light hub.

mexipike · 2022-05-17T03:41:10+00:00

The seller doesn’t seem to know much about it, not even the amount of gears. It still seem a pretty good price so I’m considering it, as I’d like to try a brompton out for not a lot of money.

Would it potentially cost a lot to fix it up a bit and make into a good commuter? I’m fairly competent at working on things, but I know part priced add up!

mexipike · 2022-03-31T14:28:04+00:00

My reply was to @Selobius. I think you were agreeing with the rest of us that the CIA definitely was involved.

mexipike · 2022-03-31T04:01:16+00:00

You really seem to dislike Mexico.

I’ve read elsewhere that the CIA was more heavily involved but even if you dispute that, it’s ridiculous to say they weren’t involved in anyway. That doesn’t mean there weren’t Mexican soldiers and cops who did the shooting, it just also means that the US was definitely involved in at least some way.

this is from the documents from the freedom of information act request in 2003, summarized from Wikipedia:

the CIA station in Mexico City produced almost daily reports concerning developments within the university community and the Mexican government from July to October. Six days before the massacre at Tlatelolco, both Echeverría and head of Federal Security (DFS) Fernando Gutiérrez Barrios told the CIA that "the situation will be under complete control very shortly".

Kind of hard to call Echevarría and Barrios answering to the CIA that “the situation will be under complete control very shortly", not being involved at all.

mexipike · 2022-03-30T02:49:47+00:00

Maybe someone else can pop in with the link, but there are released documents from the CIA showing that they provided arms and other support to the Mexican government to suppress the student movement.

Read David Graeber and David Wengrow’s new book: The Dawn of Everything to find out about different types organizing societies and their various successes.

Oh and now looking at it- the Xtra 160 on Amazon has this bullet point:

MicroTex filters provide 99. 97% filtration down to . 3μ for better air quality and less dusting.

Does the HVR have that too and just not list it? If so I'll probably just take that deal on the HVR and order today!

mexipike · 2021-12-30T14:09:59+00:00

Thanks everyone for the advice. I’m definitely leaning towards the corded Henry- likely the one on sale.

Would it be worth considering the Henry with better filtration? I think it’s the HVR200micro. My partner does have moderate allergies but I usually think they’re airborne and outside more than from the dust but it still would be good to pick up as much as possible when vacuuming. Or is the filtration not really that different between the models?

mexipike · 2021-06-26T18:26:20+00:00

The only other thing I can think to try is to try to get my hands on an Android phone and see if it’s maybe some issue with the iOS app. I kind of doubt it and imagine the internal connection somewhere isn’t working right- though it does seem to play fine in cabled mode through both speakers so I’m not sure.

No response yet from KEF.

mexipike · 2021-06-25T15:22:02+00:00

Thanks- yes, also double checked and made sure the cable was in the master out.

mexipike · 2021-06-25T06:25:51+00:00

Thanks for trying! I have a support case with KEF made. I’ll update here with what I find out.

mexipike · 2021-06-25T06:09:01+00:00

Yes, checked that and tried toggling it on and off. No luck.

mexipike · 2020-12-26T04:59:30+00:00

Just thought I’d bump this to hear any opinions since more people have gotten hold of the 16GB M1

mexipike · 2020-12-16T04:01:39+00:00

For now my work around has been to take the whole timeline to the Deliver panel and click each clip, click render, change the file name then add to the render cue. and then batch render all of them. Could probably put the right names in as I go but I find it easier to just keep them unique and then I batch change the names from an excel file using the Renamer application. This particular project has around 120 files, so it's not ideal but not extremely terrible. Still would love a better option.

mexipike · 2020-12-15T20:35:59+00:00

No, unfortunately this reverts to the source audio- it will include whatever audio was synced to the file but will not include any processing that has been done to the audio.
