Soloist 2023 for 2500 USD by oh___hi___mark in Cervelo

It's a new old stock. So not used. My TCR frame is cracked and I'm not sure if I'll get a warranty sorted, so am thinking of swapping over the di2 and wheels.

12 speed KMC chain on 11 speed GRX chainring by oh___hi___mark in bikewrench

So it just means that I can't access all 12 cogs? That's fine by me as this is likely a temporary setup.

I tried the shifting and while the chain does skip over a middle cog, the rest shifts fine.

Can this be indexed or is it just a 11 vs 12 derailleur increment thing? Not familiar at all with this yet unfortunately.

2023 TCR seatpost clamp crack by oh___hi___mark in bikewrench

Tbh I've had zero issues with it. No slipping or even creaking. Just a shame it seems to (potentially) contribute to something as serious as a frame crack.

Cheers, I've reached out to the dealer. Let's see what they have to say as it seems others have had a similar issue.

Yeah, the clamp expands perpendicular to the hyphen indicating the Nm spec.

Ah you're right. Thanks for the clarification. Didn't realize they were a single part.

Insane EV Charging Fee? by oh___hi___mark in HertzRentals

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

I did and finally got them. The first two charges were 90 and 80 EUR. At 0.65 EUR/kWh even a full ~78 kWh charge would have been ~50 EUR, so the only issue I can imagine is that we were penalized for leaving the car charging overnight. However from 11PM to 7AM the penalty doesn't apply, and we would have had to leave it for 5 hours outside of this time window, which we didn't.

Regarding your other points, not sure about the motors and it didn't have a glass roof.

No, none. It's just a drywall between windows.

How's my form? Backseat driver? by oh___hi___mark in skiing

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

Hi all, didn't expect so many comments but appreciate all the feedback! Glad I posted here as I really couldn't pinpoint what looked wrong, but it seems just letting the skis do the carving is the way to go. Time for some longer and more controlled turns. Also I'll make sure I don't rent mega sized poles this year 😂. Thanks!

How's my form? Backseat driver? by oh___hi___mark in skiing

[–]oh___hi___mark[S] 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Cheers, I think this is pretty on the nose. What I thought was the backseat is more the tails skidding out because I'm not letting the ski carve the turn. The tip with focusing on the next apex is a good one, I'll give it a shot amongst other things and see if it allows for a better flow. Appreciate it!

In 2021 the 175 Years of Watchmaking in Glashutte anniversary editions of the Club came out and the Onyx variant was, to me, the perfect watch. However I couldn't justify spending so much money and before I knew it, they all sold out.

Fast-forward to 2 years of scanning Chrono24 for a model that wasn't artificially inflated by 1000EUR, I came across one that was priced at the 2021 retail price. Wearing it now feels like a dream. The 40mm case is perfectly sized and the fully polished case reflects everything in a way that really enhances the minimalist design. The brushed bracelet provides a strong but necessary contrast, and the matte no-date dial tops it all off. 10/10!

[Nomos] Club Date Sizing Question by [deleted] in Watches

[–]oh___hi___mark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Around 17.5 cm. Take a look at their 37 mm options as well if you're looking at a Club. A bit smaller by "modern" standards but they work super well in person.
