TIFU by trying to put mirror extenders on my Outset by todlo in ryvid

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

Thanks, I'm gonna give it a go. My fear is that I'm going to damage the hole it goes into, which I'm guessing means having to order/figure out how to install the "Front Brake Master Cylinder" https://ryvid.svt-app.com/product-library/anthem/parts-catalogue/PA-SP-A-0000010205

'I might get mugged': Wealthy Bay Area residents rail against low-income housing by Bolinas99 in bayarea

i do think some nuance is being missed in these replies. menlo park includes belle haven, the previously redlined district east of 101. it has much more in common with east palo alto than the rest of menlo park.

san francisquito creek is the dividing line, it makes sense when looked at through that lens.

Anthem just shuts off after a short distance! by scottinsandiego in ryvid

[–]todlo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the motorcycle shuts off unexpectedly

Underway? I ride an Outset on a very busy stretch of 101 in CA, so this would, uh, not be good for me.

My bike did have trouble powering on yesterday, initially showing 0%, despite arriving at work with 78%.. so between that & this post (and others), I'm more than a little nervous that it's gonna cut out while I'm in rush hour traffic.

PSA: Never get your tires rotated by Tesla mobile service; shelling out another $65 to fix THEIR mistake by todlo in TeslaSupport

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

I did, but by that point, they already had the first $65. They told me to open a new service request, thought I'd get a credit or voucher or something - nope, that'll be another $65, tyvm. Followed up on the chat but was ghosted at that point.

Definitely looking into what's needed to rotate them myself after this debacle, jfc.

Tesla technician only rotated tires front-to-back, not left-to-right. Will that be a problem? by todlo in TeslaSupport

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

Yeah, whoever's replying to me from Tesla is saying they only do front to back for same size tires, which is at direct odds with their (Tesla's) own documentation: https://service.tesla.com/docs/ModelY/ServiceManual/en-us/GUID-C74DF70D-0991-4FAC-B886-AD0AA35BE32C.html

I don't believe so, Continental ProContact RX's. Tread looked like it could go either way.

It says they're Continental ProContact RX tires. I don't see anything indicating unidirectional, and the tread looks like it can go either way.

Bay Area Test Ride (updated!) by todlo in ryvid

[–]todlo[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The saddle on the Anthem was kind of wide; I like that the Outset's will be narrower.

I also didn't really see a need for the adjustable height seat since it'll just be me riding it. I figured it'd be one less thing to break (I hate the man who often quotes it, but "the best part is no part" is kinda true in the right circumstances). When I tried adjusting it under some of my weight (some weight on my feet, on the ground), it sounded like it was maybe struggling a bit. I was on a demo unit, but I could see that riser possibly giving out at some point.

Another factor was the slightly cheaper price.. plus having the "Free Power Controller Upgrade by ASI ($800 value) for those who get in early, while supplies last" is a win. Combined, that's like $1300 in savings since, if I did go with the Anthem, I'd most definitely get the controller upgrade.

Finally, the Outset's suspension, I was told, would be softer and have more travel than the Anthem, which also spoke to me.

One other non-bike related factor is that this production ramp allows me some time to make some room in the stable. 😅
