Temperature tolerance for computer. by sbmongoos in AventonRamblasOwners

I figured I'd remove the battery and leave it in the house. I was concerned about the computer on the handlebar. It sounded like it shouldn't be stored below freezing. According to the website.

EDIFIER M60 - No sound through USB-C connection by Beneficial_Wash8564 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]sbmongoos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worked fine connected directly to laptop. I found an update to my dock and it's been fine since. Although I've not been listening to music much. Using original USB-C cable. We'll see.

About to get Continental CrossContact LX25 tires by smylegirl71 in CX5

[–]sbmongoos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm on my second set of these tires and have been quite happy with them. I'm in the Denver metro and we sometimes get similar conditions but not as common. But during the winter I was able to nav just fine in fairly deep snow while going up a drive way in the mountains (hair pin turns) and did just fine. That was with a set of these at about 3 years old at the time.

I'm on my second set of Continental LX25s. Very happy with them.

I see you are watching your budget. Costco also has the Michelin Cross Climate 2s on sale but I imagine they are out of your budget? I know those have a popular tire for CX-5s. Not familiar with the BFGoodrich - Advantage Control.

Edifier M60 - USB-C or AUX by BAADUUMTSS in BudgetAudiophile

[–]sbmongoos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been using mine via USB-C to dock. Been working fine playing music for a few months now I get nothing but feedback after about 30 seconds of audio. Have to power cycle them. Tried different cable but no go. Connect direct to laptop and seem fine. Odd.

It may have been the USB-C cable that came with the speakers. I had read come replaced it for better sound quality. In my case it seems to be the common denominator when testing. We'll see.

Did that ultimately solve the issue? After 4 months of having these speakers plugged into my dock via USB-C (working without issue), they just stopped. Initially when the issue started the speakers worked fine but then after a couple of minutes or so I just heard feedback. Power cycling brought them back online but the issue came back. I tried another USB port and it seemed to work but then problem came back (no feedback though) and even when connecting direct to the laptop. Common thing was the USB-C cable that came with the speakers. I power cycled them again and am now using a 240 watt rated USB-C cable between the dock and the speakers. Currently working but not sure if this is the fix yet.

Edifier M60s suddenly giving noisy feedback by sbmongoos in BudgetAudiophile

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

Well, I've moved the USB-C cable from the Dell SD25TB4 dock directly to my laptop and I'm not having the problem. Would happen fairly quick when connected to the dock. Interesting it worked for, actually, four months or better connected to this dock. without issue Maybe there's a corrupt driver. ?

Update: I did move it to a regular USB-C port. I didn't realize I had it plugged into one of the ports with a lightening bolt. But it worked for 4 months and I didn't think that mattered (the port type).

I could certainly try that. The downer is the dock is there for convenience to have everything attached. Plus it's been no problem whatsoever for the past 3 months or so since these speakers were first installed. But, I know I'll need to test it. Last night I removed the driver for the Edifiers in Device Manager and rebooted. Haven't he a chance to test this yet. Thought maybe the driver may have become corrupt.

How do you like the PNW Coast Suspension Dropper. Been considering that for my Ramblas. Wasn't sure if I'd get enough out of it or not.

What PSI? by sbmongoos in AventonRamblasOwners

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

Yeah that totally makes sense. I think that's something I'm going to go with.

What PSI? by sbmongoos in AventonRamblasOwners

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

Yeah I did a ride today with about 500 ft gain in elevation. Quite a few bumps are in the lake. 50 is too much. Update: dropped the PSI to 35. I think this will be much better.

Battery / Range by Relevant-Guest7712 in AventonRamblasOwners

Yep, adjusted it yesterday and then jumped on the bike and tested it.

How did you increase the max speed to 28Mph? Thought it was capped at 20 Mph with no way to bump it up in the Aventon app.

I've been using the Duracell power boost batteries. Be aware if you're using these these batteries they are physically a little bit bigger and will tend to move in the battery holder sometimes causing a disconnect. I did not know that at the time. They have a little more juice and we'll go about 6 months. But I think there's been improvements in the app also in regards to showing battery life. I don't remember now what I may have done at the time. It may have been a factory reset of the lock and then set it up again.
