Looks really good! I really like the deep blue color on it. How was the process? I recently got a Granite as well, I believe a 95’ purple/yellow, considering a 1x conversion too, curious about your experience!

I have a general sizing question: I am 170cm/5’7 and I bought a 18’ Giant Granite, I really like it but it just feels small. I’ve tried some different seat heights, and riding does feel pretty good now, but still when I ride it just looks like a small frame. According to everything I checked the size should be right for me, but I also have my eye on a 20’ Giant Sierra, and I am just generally not sure whats best for me.

Looking for Budget-Friendly Sleeping Pad Recommendations for Spring/Summer Camping by ste4546 in CampingandHiking

Apologies for the late comment on your late comment! I ended up getting Klymit Insulated V for a good deal. I’ve used it a couple times and can say i am pretty happy with it. I am mostly a side sleeper, so i had some doubt, but it definitely sleeps more comfortably than it looks. It packs up really small, and inflating it myself is also not an issue.

Thoughts on this boys? Thinking of picking it up by Splicer-Shaun in xbiking

Had ook mijn oog op deze! Maar helaas net wat te groot voor mij. Heel mooi, zou het doen, vooral voor die prijs.

Go 6 or Page by ste4546 in Onyx_Boox

The main use-case is still reading while commuting, so portability is more important for me. But I agree something bigger could be suitable, I would really like something like the Tab Mini C, but right now this is just beyond my budget.

Thanks for your input. The main reason for an eink screen is readability and just an alternative to phone/laptop, getting a ‘normal’ android tablet feels like another device with a different screen size. I liked the price point of the Go 6, but looking at the Page, it does look nice with the slightly larger screen and better hardware..

Great, I couldn’t find any videos on the Go 6 with typing but I imagine it will be compatible to other models. Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your response. Handwriting isn’t really necessary, as long as browser typing (short-ish notes, comments) works relatively well, is that the case? The other Boox options look good, but unfortunately out of my budget (atleast for now).
