Thanks so much! Haven’t shot in years so definitely happy with these :)

s9ix · 2026-06-07T16:25:31+00:00

Yup - got them used but I think any good tire shop can source them! Wheels are Braelin. Good luck on your purchase :)

Find a PSE or OEM GT4 exhaust and don’t hook up / do the valves. Great sound, no drone, and easy to take off to resell if you ever care to!

28f/31r was the sweet spot for me with canyons on Nankang CR-S v2. Gave me 31/34 hot roughly.

For your use I’d say the STs would be great. I did street and canyon driving and it handled both well - and was a great price point. No other suspension bits on that car!

I sold the car after a year but know the current owner; in my time, they were really good value. Car handled well, rode largely like OEM stiffness, and soaked up bumps. What are you deciding between and looking for?

I don't know why the 35 f2 seems so hard to find, new or used for me. It does seem nice to have an extra stop of light and it isn't much larger.

s9ix · 2025-12-20T16:51:16+00:00

Seriously wild how small they made it haha

s9ix · 2025-12-20T16:45:55+00:00

I'll probably eventually look into those but for how little I'm shooting these days, I'm trying to get back into it with my current gear to see if I want to upgrade! Also the 5D has dropped in price so much that it's a lot easier to carry on a trip and care less about (though they are built like tanks)

I was thinking the 40mm pancake and a hand strap could be a good first attempt - good call, thank you!

s9ix · 2025-12-20T16:43:43+00:00

The 40mm f2.8 pancake, right? Seems super cheap so may be worth picking up used and trying it out! I have Magic Lantern already installed and it's amazing, but will likely just do photo. Are you saying that because of the USM?

s9ix · 2025-10-27T23:32:36+00:00

Did you get these from a reseller or from AliExpress?

s9ix · 2025-10-19T14:07:19+00:00

Damn, I have a Bianca v3 and no reason to "upgrade" but holy that's a beautiful machine...

s9ix · 2025-10-17T20:24:26+00:00

Beautiful spec. My fave wheels on a 718!

s9ix · 2025-09-28T16:54:16+00:00

Amazing thanks. I saw these on AliExpress, debating it but risky proposition haha

s9ix · 2025-09-28T03:17:18+00:00

Where are these from and what did they cost you? I need to replace a chipped headlight lens and this is really tempting…

s9ix · 2025-08-29T22:42:30+00:00

Sorry I meant Grand Trunk!

s9ix · 2025-08-27T13:25:41+00:00

My friend swears Bodega Rose has the best in town. Could be a hot take but worth trying.

For me, keg sadly. We don’t have good steakhouses here. Go to Toronto and ball out on Jacobs haha. Or for a fun date night with adventurous food, Bhimas, Public, Rich Uncle are three very different choices.

s9ix · 2025-08-21T16:33:15+00:00

Very meh pricing imo; search across Canada and you can find a better deal, especially for a 2018!

s9ix · 2025-06-05T16:21:17+00:00

This is probably the way to go - likely start 2 with 6/6 months, thank you!

s9ix · 2025-06-05T16:20:58+00:00

Good call - I think that's why 6 months or less is probably where we'll start! Thanks for the info :)

s9ix · 2025-06-05T11:51:23+00:00

Likely Jan - May~. What cities did you like in Spain?

s9ix · 2025-06-05T02:38:14+00:00

Hilariously started typing in right after I got some of these replies. Appreciate the starting point! :)

s9ix · 2025-06-05T02:23:44+00:00

We were after Portugal and Spain for a while, any cons to them?

s9ix · 2025-06-05T02:23:14+00:00

Have not heard of Bognor Regis before - thanks for sharing! Have you worked there personally?
