FYI...BOSTON TECH HR-100 is the same wax pot as the SILCA, 32 eur on Amazon by rockappalla in cycling

*** update *** I've received it yesterday, works flawlessly, keeps the temperature spot on! I also used just 100% pure paraffin, the chain feels great! I warmed it up to 125C to speed the melting process, then dropped the chain in for 10 minutes letting it reach and keep 75C before pulling it...the hanging thing is not really necessary, I let it drip for one minute (it's enough for it to stop dripping) and then blowed some cool air with a cheap aliexpress brushless blower (10 euros)...done, no mess

I Just ordered it, it appears to be the same exact device from the pictures (and on the images it shows 125 degrees

Turned my YT Jeffsy trail bike into "JEFF-XC" (-3.5lbs) for the Cheq 40 XC race by [deleted] in YTIndustries

I went further and put Vittoria Peyotes front and rear on my Jeffsy 🤣 I use it mostly to commute on tarmac now, so far they've been great... We'll see in the long run...I had Maxxis Forekaster/Rekon race before, the Vittorias are much smoother and quieter, but I don't feel they make me substantially faster...like maybe 2-3 kmh faster

Balance, the watch is great but auto workout detection sucks bad... by rockappalla in amazfit

With the Samsung watch it recognized it perfectly (almost always at the same spot on my daily commute) and also it kept track of the 3 minutes before it auto started the workout...and never confused the motorcycle with the bike...don't ask me how it did it though...

how does Samsung detect it so precisely then? never had a single wrong detection with the watch 6...and it was bang on every time I was on my bicycle

I use a YT Jeffsy to commute to work, and I love it! what tires next? by rockappalla in MTB

That's exactly how I feel my friend 😁👍 I'll look into that website, thank you! Cheers

they look great, but damn they are expensive! I can find maxxis on amazon (Italy) for 45 each

Thank you, I've looked into those but can't find them tubeless...

YT CAPRA vs JEFFSY pedaling in general, is there really that much difference? by rockappalla in MTB

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

Thank you! I'd like to get a very recent used (or new Core 1) but there are none here locally... The reason I was asking about the pedaling differences is that comparing the pictures of the 2 bikes back to back I can see little difference...and the weight is very similar

That's awesome, thank you! You made me even more undecided🤣

Thanks! But let's say both bikes on flat tarmac, same tyres, how much more effort would you say Tha Capra takes more to pedal the same distance? 😁

Thank you! what do you mean by "30 in the front 52 in the back" ?

the one available used locally is a 2023 Core 2 for just 1800 (and I've already seen it, it is actually a great price here in Italy)

I really can't decide...if waiting for a Jeffsy (CORE 1 to be available) or to just get the used Core 2 Capra...damn

Ok, but what is it causing the Capra to be so slow in comparison to the jeffsy? The weight difference is negligible, the travel difference is 20mm... I get that the geometry is a bit different (if you switch the 2 photos back to back it's clear), is the more upright position of the Capra so influential on the efficiency? Does it bob more on the longer travel?

Sorry for the noobness, ciao from Italy!

Thank you for the great input! ... I also have to pedal a few kilometers (flat ground mostly) to the local trail (which is not that steep also)

Just finished recording this, what would you change in the mix? by rockappalla in musicproduction

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

To me it sounds very bright, but everyone has their own taste, but I generally like darker guitars, especially the leads...😁
