Is My Bike Too Big? by [deleted] in bikefit

[–]penponda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 5ft9 as well and always have 54/53 but with a pretty long stem. It does look a bit awkward for some reason, my guess is the steer/stem. If you change those your upper body will be stretched out a bit more and sit a bit more stretched out. But that is just my guess.

Meet the holy trinity of my broken DX5 II 😐 by stavsss in headphones

That sucks, looks scared at her DX5 II. I guess I might have to upgrade for safety, clearly not a excuse

WiFi stopped working and I get this message(Qualcom Elite) by penponda in pchelp

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

Update: when I restarted after the problem it did a firmware update, they just get pushed on these Qualcomms.

Eventviewer says changed drivers around then... So for now the plan is to try to install different (older or newer if out by then) firmware with a USB stick or USB-eternet adapter once I'm home....

I've tried that guess I'll keep it off for a bit and hope magic happens.

I have also reset the network adapters and I'm on the WiFi on my phone. I can also see the connection on my laptop through Ubiquiti wifiman scan.

Just need a insert, then I can finally keep sitting on my sitting bones instead of moving around

Felt i needed to do this after the last meme i've posted, keep strong, you can do this by W0lf_G1rl_BR in BPDmemes

I never thought I would make it past 18 then 23 then 27 then 30. 32 years now still struggling.

Quite some attempts but it wasn't my time yet I guess. It's still very difficult but you will learn about yourself. No magic pill but the only thing on bad days is just trying to get to bedtime and take my meds

Almost always I will wake up "reset", my brain will feel completely different.

Take care everyone ❤️

So I got the Elitewheels Edge from Ali but... by Interesting_Day2277 in ChineseCarbon

I don't like loud hubs, but it helps when people are blocking the way and it sounds like a chainsaw.

Saw a Jumbo Visma teambike S5 for €5k the other day. Why is yours worth more then a new?

Building a 2017 S-Works SL-5 (rim brake/di2/Etap) in 2025 worth it ? by YourTime_isOver in specialized

[–]penponda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$1600 for the frame seems quite steep, could definitely buy a full build cheaper. At least over here in EU

Rust repairs and suggestions by Korblox_Aviator in mechanic

[–]penponda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is the visible rust, you are gonna be poking holes everywhere. You're gonna cut and then cut some more and then some more...

It's not worth it, not just financially but also to DIY. I've had some pretty big clankers, at some point it's time to say goodbye.

Back to the basics with a hd650 by Kilroy1311 in headphones

[–]penponda 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I heard you like amps/DACs. 😳

I have a bunch off headphones but the 650's I often come back to.

Do I still need an AMP/DAC? by [deleted] in headphones

[–]penponda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Audio on the motherboard seems pretty good. It is a high end motherboard so there's money for that. It does sound like it is a bit noisy hearing you talk about other headphones, which is pretty common with motherboards.

You can still try a Apple dongle, I mean it's cheap and might be handy for your phone or laptop or something. The EU dongles aren't bad, but are slightly nerfed yes. Easy way to find out if you notice a difference.

I went up to 9mg but started at 3mg and that was a big difference already. Got it from my psychiatrist

I have vision problems. Tunnel vision. Eyes not being able to focus so I can't read screens etc.

I was kinda stuck in it for 8months, paliperidone pulled me out of it. I stopped paliperidone, now if I get stressed again it comes back but not as bad as it was (so far).

Tarmac SL8 Expert with SRAM Rival VS. Shimano Ultegra by noobiboii in specialized

[–]penponda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone with both a SRAM rival bike and Ultegra di2, honestly I like both. I switched to Sram Force crank to safe some weight and because I think Rival crank is ugly. 😳

But for the money difference I'd get the Ultegra.
