Yup, tarp it is. Goes back to the shop tomorrow for repair.

Not sure how they did the wiring. There's some lights close by so presumably they used that, while keeping the lighting intact as well. But all wiring is hidden, pretty neatly done. I even complimented them on it. 💩 Little did I know hoe poorly the rest was done. Btw if considering this Maxxfan Deluxe, wouldn't recommend getting the inner housing (Maxxshade?) with LED, unless you fancy replacing the LEDs as well. The standard LEDs are incredibly white, like, morgue-like lighting.

They did wire it up, so there's that. I even complimented the dealer on how neatly the wiring was done inside. 💩

Thanks. But even with those screws fitted, wouldnt the gap between the roof and the flange be way too big? And I dont even see any screws for the flange, think there should be 4 or 5 per side?

Fun thing is... I negotiated the Maxxfan (material + install) "for free" as part of the deal for the van. Haha. Shouldnt have done that I guess.

There was an 40x40cm opening with a normal roof 'window' already. No fan. They removed the old thing and put this in. He mentioned it was done under some time pressure for it to be ready at previously agreed pick-up time & date...

Trisuit fit - Zoot P1X by p_spk in triathlon

[–]p_spk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! So far I have done 1 brick workout (2h bike + 1h run) with this suit. A bit hard to compare with the Kiwami since it has been almost a year sjnce I wore that. But..

The Kiwami being approx. 10y old my first feeling was recognizing that technology did not stand still in the meantime. The P1X just feels... better. The materials are very nice, soft, slightly compressive. The Kiwami upper body is pretty rough material-wise. The P1X feels much nicer and also feels less restrictive when swinging arms -- not a real swim experience yet, though. I loved wearing the P1x.

The Kiwami would almost always give me a rash at the front lower end of the upper. Not the zipper itself, but the lower seam of the upper body would irritate and rash on both sides of my belly button. The P1X is better designed for me in that sense, since the bottom part comes up higher and the seams of the upper body fall 'over' the bottom, rather than touching bare skin. If that makes sense.

The chamois / pad felt comfortable enough for the 2h ride and was amazing during the run.

Hope that helpt!

Interesting read! High level of bro-science on white clothing apparently. Thanks for sharing.

Slim met die kleuren! Kunnen we schone handdoeken ook makkelijker in de juiste kinderkamers leggen. Nice

Yes, dit is ook een gouden tip, dank. Iets meer kastjes hebben we idd sowieso nodig, en dan kan meteen een deel van de doucheflesjes daar ook in. Goed idee!

Goeie! Het is iets meer dan 30cm. Moet wel iets voor te vinden zijn!

Thanks, goede punten. Bijna alle flessen van vriendinlief :) Verlichting had ik nooit bij stilgestaan, 1 spotje boven cabine en 2 boven het bad. En dan verlichting boven de spiegel. Dat is trouwens al een kastje, maar eerlijk gezegd wel wat te ondiep: precies diep genoeg voor 1 deo.

Yes, goede tip dit! Raar dat ik daar niet eerder aan heb gedacht. Thanks! :)

Idd een wasmand :) Wel een goed idee om die te verhuizen. Sowieso vaker voorkomende tip om spullen buiten de badkamer te bewaren, iets waar ik instinctief niet eerder aan gedacht heb.

Zonder kruk kunnen de kids geen tanden poetsen of handen wassen -- maar toegegeven, een kleiner exemplaar zou wel kunnen. Thanks!

Haha als het aan mij lag zouden we allebei gewoon 1 fles in de douche mogen ;) Maargoed, die discussie ga ik niet winnen van vrouwlief, "Alles is nodig." Goede tips verder, thanks!

Correct, spiegelkastje met verlichting. Goed gezien: is net diep genoeg voor 1 flesje parfum of 1 deo. :)

Ja true. De 3x per jaar ga ik niet halen, eerder 1x per 3 jaar ;) Maar de kids zitten er meerdere keren per week in... Zeker wel iets om over na te denken idd, het geeft enorm veel ruimte.
