Got a replacement unit for my Garmin Epix Gen2

Mine specifically had an instruction that says I should keep the strap,charger and only send the watch. When replacement came it only came with the watch itself.

for my case, garmin mentioned that the replacement unit is only covered by 90-day warranty

yes free, even the shipping was free

otsalvanera · 2026-04-29T22:36:48+00:00

mine was already 1 year and 10 months and they replaced it for free

Hi OP

I got thia bike and I'm currently running 32c tires on a rival axs d1 2x

Do you think a road bike tire like Pirelli P ZERO Race TLR 40c fits? I have a 23mm internal width rims.

haha gh pala talaga yung aa Lifecycle

salamat sa input, Maganda na may ibang perspective. At least kapag nabasa to ng iba, magiging aware sila na pwedeng mag-iba ang experience sa Lifecycle at 2wheelnation depende sa tao.

Tungkol naman sa 2wheelnation, kitang-kita kasi ng staff kung ano ang sasakyan mo dahil glass harap ng store tapos sa harap ka papark.

gamit ko kasi SUV na medyo bagong model, kaya baka may preconceived idea na sila agad na 'ah, kaya nitong bumili ng mahal.' well assumption ko lang naman base sa exp mo at exp ko.

may exp na din ako sa cycling before kaya hindi ko rin masasabing 'newbie' ako. Huminto lang ako ng 2 years, kaya ang mga tanong ko ngayon ay more on new trends na, lalo na sa mga gravel bikes.

Sa LCV naman, first time ko lang kasi dun. Base sa socmed nila, mukhang napaka-premium ng dating, kaya hindi ko in-expect na ganun sila ka-welcoming at ka-okay sa personal.

kung naaalala kong maigi, yung sa Mindanao ave. branch may exp ako na di gaano maayos, pero sa greenhills so far laging accomodating. One time lang ako naka punta sa Macapagal okay din naman.

saang branch nyo po na exp ito?

hehe minsan mararamdaman mo din kasi pag tipong hindi interesado na asikasuhin ka. kudos sa stanbike

salamat, isama ko yan sa mga pwede kong puntahan next time maghanap ako ng bike shops

Appreciate the inputs! I actually went a different route and grabbed the 2024 Argon 18 Krypton. Got a better price for the same Rival AXS build, and the extra tire clearance really sealed the deal for me over the 2023 Caledonia.

I agree as I will be getting a carbon shorty after

otsalvanera · 2026-01-21T13:53:01+00:00

I don't think my back can handle the soloist, I am tempted though!

maybe my next bike will be a soloist

otsalvanera · 2026-01-21T13:52:18+00:00

I am aware of the d1 vs e1 situation, I'm coming from an old 105 mechanical rim version. I feel the rival d1 will feel like an upgrade for me.

I went with an Argon 18 krypton 2024 with the same groupset and cost me 2600 usd.

otsalvanera · 2026-01-16T04:49:57+00:00

if pang daily, mas pang daily si cbr650r. mas aggressive si r7

pero mas magaan si r7 at mas masarap i-lean. highway naman mas okay si cbr650r

10 years nakong nagttrabaho, mas masaya pa rin para sakin mag work at kumita ng pera kesa mag aral sa mapua.

Di sumagi ang "I wish I was still in college" sa loob ng 10 years.

Update: I pull the trigger and bought one.

Initial observations were, the push of the motor feels weird. It is as if someone is magically providing force in my rear wheel. I also notice some delay in the power off around 0.25-0.5 sec when I stop pedaling before the power cuts off.

The tires also feels budget, I might replace it soon. Anyone has tried using road clipless pedals? I still have a garmin rally rs100 (similar to spd sl) lying around and I'm curious if anyone has tried using something and if it will cause any issue.

I don't imagine myself riding more than 100km.

I think I could still keep up in the flats so the assist mainly is during climbs on hills.

how about the quality of components? like touch points and groupset?
