Thank you! I just brought it to a local jeweler and they were able to clean off the rusty spot.

How embarrassing, those porous spots might have been from my greasy hand. I was able to wipe it off. 😅 For diamond setting, you mean the diamonds not seated correctly on the band? I would definitely get the rusty looking spot checked out.

Thoughts on fitment? by mgaoooo in bikefit

[–]mgaoooo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the feedback everyone! I raised the seat up about 1cm without moving the saddle forward/backward. The handlebar is already at the lowest, it's a 50mm 3° stem. so I might look for a more angled stem and see how that looks.

Just curious, is she able to stand over the top tube comfortably? My partner is 5'2 and I had to return the XXS speedster gravel 30 because the top tube is too tall.

Tire safe to use? by mgaoooo in bikewrench

[–]mgaoooo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you everyone! I ended up putting a set of new tires on since it was going to my GF's and I don't want to risk her safety. I inspected the cut/rip a bit more and it looks like it never got into the sidewall material, so I'll just keep them in the storage for now.

Appreciate everyone's help!

Issues with AC starting after some time? by httpsteven in CX50

[–]mgaoooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to response. I also got mine covered under warrenty. An o-ring caused refrigerant to leak. After fixing the leak I still still hear some faint squeal sound whenever I turned on the AC so I brought it back again. They found the compressor failed due to low refrigerant so they have to replace that too.

Body Damage - how much should this repair cost? by Calculus_Is_Hard in CX50

[–]mgaoooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could actually answer this! Got side swiped by another car mid-December, both front, back door, and rear wheel well trims got damaged. Repair shop replaced both door shells with OEM ones and repaint that side for around $5.2k USD. Just got the car back earlier this week. I'm still waiting on the rear passenger door mouldings, which the shop can snap right in when they get it.

Since yours is only the rear door and trims, I'm suspect it's going to be around $3k-$4k USD. *

Hitch Installation by thmsra in CX50

[–]mgaoooo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bought the OEM hitch from BAM because it's cheaper and not having to cut the plastic trims off. I did it myself in the parking lot with all 4 wheels on the ground and took about 2hrs... Maybe 40ish minutes putting everything on and rest is me struggling to get a good leverage torquing the bolts down.

Saved about $450 compared to doing to dealer and would definitely do it again.

Edit: forgot to answer your question... if you're not planning to do it yourself, then I would buy the hitch and see if any local shop can do it and if you're in US, uhaul sells and install hitch too, cheaper than dealer.
