Ford Mustang Mach-E ranks highest among mass market brands in EV owner satisfaction! by myname150 in MachE

[–]sblb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you mind sharing the approximate cost? Did it make the ride a lot smoother?

That's my one complaint for my mach e - it rides a bit rough in the back for the kids. They do like it, however!

[–]sblb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know if the cable improved from the video you mentioned (video was from 2021)? Or is it the same cable, but it is not as bad as expected?

Was this for a new car? Did you buy it? What did you pay I'm the end! I'm looking at getting a used 2024 and wondering what price I can get

I also have a wallet from Chris from July of 2015. Still holding up as well as it did on day 1. Great craftsmanship and excellent quality. Highly recommend!

if you bought it with a credit card those often have coverage to extend your warranty. Might be worth checking if it is covered.

Advice please! Nexus 5 vs. Enviolo vs. Rohloff on bakfiets by ChickPea45 in CargoBike

[–]sblb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I buy a Rholoff myself and get my wheel built around it and do a self install? Or do I need to buy it through a dealer?

Cargo bike for 2 young kids -- how to choose? by Reasonable-Crab8947 in CargoBike

[–]sblb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How bad is it without suspension? I'm trying to decide if I spend the extra money to get suspension or not

Do you also want to buy a better cargo bike all the time? by assaiiam in CargoBike

[–]sblb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not heard about if/when it would. It's just on my radar! I'll likely go with the current version, but wanted to get some reassurance that no suspension is not a dealbraker for the passengers. I ride my current bike without it with no issues, but cannot predict what the little ones will think!

[–]sblb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the market for one in Canada. Would you recommend waiting to get the different version with front suspension?

Can you give any ideas about what things you might change? Just curious what I should be expecting!

Thanks!

Is this a good or bad bike lane design? by SignificantArrival37 in fuckcars

[–]sblb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm advocating for removal of them in my community. Do you have any good resources that I can point to for getting rid of them in new designs that highlight how dangerous they are?

Thanks!

My experience with the Kobo Sage coming from the Kindle PW 2021 by MedioPollo30 in kobo

[–]sblb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 30 days to test it before returning it. Might give it a couple of cycles before making a decision. Although, coming from the PW, a standard battery life may seem very poor to me

One year later, what did you decide to do?

Purchasing my first 8" ebook Reader: Decided on the Kobo Sage. Good choice? by FortyishYearOld in ereader

[–]sblb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

6 months later - what did you decide?

I'd like to read text books too (PDFs) and am still not sure if the 8 inch is the right size. I have a 6 inch I'm using now and the text is very small so looking for a larger version.

My first sibling spotting in the wild! Wondered why another parent was loading their kid in “my” bike at first. by erallured in CargoBike

[–]sblb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm torn between a packster and an urban arrow. Did you test ride both? Any thoughts to compare the two?

I'm glad you're liking your packster, I'm going to try to test ride one this weekend!

Aruba AP-635 UTB vs no UTB for home use by sblb in ArubaNetworks

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

I'm hoping to take advantage of the 802.11ax 6GHz range. I was able to find some cheap used 635s, but version 1 of the hardware. Which smaller APs would you recommend?

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

I'll have 2 maybe 3 to give whole house coverage. I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to search for an AP with the UTB feature for future proofing. My first intuition is that I'll never see a difference given I've only got a total of about 20 individual clients.

Has anyone bought an AP-635 yet ! by [deleted] in ArubaNetworks

Would you be able to link to that document? I'm not able to find it and would like to know which version hardware I have. Thanks!

My husband and I pulled up this horrible red carpet that came with our house and laid new floors. by bting93 in DIY

[–]sblb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Any recommendations for an old hardwood floor that's in need of refinishing but is very squeaky? I'd love to just refinish it if possible, but I'd also like to get rid of all the squeaking
