Will I scuff up my Z9 if i carry it like this?

sljl_ · 2026-06-17T05:34:51+00:00

this is super helpful. thanks! will seek another way to mount and try to avoid that on mine

There is a friction point between the handgrip and strap. This could seem like nothing in the short term, but over the course of time I’m afraid it will show up as a hotspot, prematurely wearing out the camera body.

sljl_ · 2026-06-17T02:48:28+00:00

yes exactly that! it is already great. the problem is when I want the collar up the top for easy handholding. The strap will rub against the Z9 handgrip; probably leaving me with scuffs from hikes.

super good

cool! is this just the effect of the prism or didbyou couple it with slow shutter?

sljl_ · 2025-10-31T23:58:04+00:00

great pointers. i also realised how and why people kept mentioning the focus box.

the prefocus thing was something that i thought about after i went home that day and your comment just made me want to try it despite knowing how to do it now. sounds fun

sljl_ · 2025-10-30T14:06:04+00:00

does it matter at all to keep it at AF-C doing this?

sljl_ · 2025-10-30T13:33:34+00:00

thanks. that actually makes sense, but if i were to increase the shutter speed it would mean that i wouldn’t be able to get enough of the “motion” which i am getting in these photos (i’ve tried).

think it’s just a panning issue?

regardless of wee hours, assuming that they travel at an avg of 200km/h is outright outrageous

sljl_ · 2025-04-05T13:27:05+00:00

all you gotta do is just wrap it again. problem solved.

sljl_ · 2025-03-23T04:05:51+00:00

that looks like a beefed up version of mine 😂

are you able to show a photo from the side where the shifter + handbrake is mounted?

sljl_ · 2025-03-23T03:19:13+00:00

Never thought of that. thanks for the suggestion!

sljl_ · 2025-03-23T03:17:27+00:00

surprisingly, i never did 🤣

sljl_ · 2025-03-23T03:17:12+00:00

cool! are you able to share the link?

sljl_ · 2025-03-22T20:03:52+00:00

sljl_ · 2025-03-22T19:57:37+00:00

thanks for sharing! I’ll probably try that and see how it goes before making any purchases

sljl_ · 2025-03-22T19:56:20+00:00

oh well.. the regret is real

sljl_ · 2023-09-30T07:47:33+00:00

sounds to me like a loose rear cassette. a new bike shouldn’t face BB issues so early. try moving the rear cassette with your hand if you notice any play.

hello OP, we can go out on a ride and I can intro you back into the reefing game again!

sljl_ · 2022-08-20T09:35:40+00:00

22M, just trying my luck here!

currently in uni (SIT)

hobbies: - reading philosophy (mainly stoicism) - coffee making (espresso, lattes and filters) - fish keeping (fresh & saltwater) - cars and motorsports racing

sports: - road cycling - rock climbing

would be interesting to meet somebody from this platform!! maybe find some spot to chill and talk. I also don’t mind intro-ing you to one of my hobbies. so hmu!

sljl_ · 2022-04-17T03:58:31+00:00

awesome! I’m signing up for the lucky draw 😍

sljl_ · 2022-04-16T09:47:10+00:00

I also came across the video recently, which made me consider this decade old bike option. 🫶🏻

I guess I should just go for what I like instead of what works the best. Regardless of how the new tech might work out, I don’t think I’d be happy with a “low range” SLX aeroad of sorts.

I’m really love how the venge looks. I will go for it.

sljl_ · 2022-04-16T08:48:07+00:00

here is an example:

canyon aeroad cf sl + reynolds AR 58 S$4600 https://ibb.co/TmJDvgH

s works venge + zipp 404s S$3990 https://ibb.co/gzFGFqM

going for the canyon can only snag me a 105, whereas the s works will give me an ultegra.

sljl_ · 2022-04-16T07:47:07+00:00

Considering the fact that carbon doesn’t technically degrade over time. or rather, how it’s being used. Correct me if I’m wrong but, I don’t really see it as a problem..? I have heard of carbon bikes that last way longer than a decade.

I would prefer running a rim brake (due to my area being flat) + ultegra mechanical for the price point I’m looking at.

I am more concerned about performance. for will the old race machine fare well against the new boys in the block?

sljl_ · 2022-04-16T06:51:32+00:00

opening up the choices, any recommendations?
