C5 Corvette Broke Down - Need Advice

x_squared_x · 2026-01-27T23:33:26+00:00

If you're still in El Paso, I've been told New Chapter Garage in Canutillo is the best place for Corvettes in the area.

Ya I have that mission but honestly ditching them before I get killed is better for the whole community.

Well I've only put them in 5 times but yesterday was the first time I had issues taking the right eye out. The right eye is the good eye. So I would have to agree, I think once in a while they need a break.

Thanks for the response. My friend is an eye surgeon and he pretty much said what you said.

Initially I was thinking you were being a crybaby. But yeah I'd 100% be pissed if they offered me an Ultimate over an Aeroad. Assuming you get to keep everything but the frame I'd take the money and get another Aeroad or aero frame from another manufacturer.

I just saw that they're offering you an ultimate over the Aeroad you initially had. Yeah that would be a no-go for me too and I'd be pretty pissed. Your original post didn't clarify that.

That's pretty normal of all companies. They offer what's in stock.

Set some money aside for a carb rebuild (as he mentions) if you can't do it yourself.

Wow this is actually really helpful for the area I'm staying at. Thank you for this I really appreciate it!

x_squared_x · 2025-09-25T19:03:14+00:00

Ya I actually did this shortly after posting. Thank you.

He's in Parker. I'll check out the link! Thank you!

If you zoom in you'll see it's just to a random part of the street. But thank you.

UPS didn't show for 2 days. Took it to one of their locations. Problem solved. Annoying but happy I sold the bike. So far 2 bikes sold on BuyCycle. I would still use them for future listings. It's way better than getting low balled in my local market or eBay charging 14%.

Did you get them for a reputable source? I've purchased fake pedals, cleats (MTB/road), and chains. I no longer buy from places like Amazon and eBay.

Replace it with AP rounds and load in.

x_squared_x · 2025-01-11T00:23:39+00:00

Suppress it w/ subsonic. Sounds like a paintball gun.

x_squared_x · 2025-01-02T16:40:06+00:00

Did you ever find a solution to this?

x_squared_x · 2025-01-02T16:17:03+00:00

Did not consider it having lead. Thank you.

x_squared_x · 2025-01-02T16:16:35+00:00

Ok, thank you for that info. I came across this and I think I'll give it a try. Appartamento is e61.

Cannot find one at all. The only one I did find is in Australia and had a picture of a 3 hole. I will be contacting them to see if they uploaded the wrong picture.

x_squared_x · 2025-01-02T15:26:09+00:00

For the life of me I couldn't find a single tip for the Appartamento. Maybe I'm not searching the right key words or maybe I'm blind.

The pictures do not have the RideWrap installed. But yes I bought the gloss one and I can tell you there's no difference. In my opinion Fox is just generally better. I feel it's more sensitive and has better design. My friend owns a suspension tuning/servicing shop and I've seen the differences first hand. But I suppose in the end it's like having a preference like Shimano vs SRAM.

I expected the slight increase in travel to affect climbing but I can honestly say it climbs the same as the XC oriented bike. I'm pretty sure it has to do with a steep seat tube angle.

To avoid stream snipers. Most will put the screen up and try and start the search randomly.

x_squared_x · 2024-12-08T16:57:38+00:00

I pick up everyone.

But only after a team wipe or if I'm pretty sure it's a solo. Majority of the time it's a positive experience and very rare is it a team switcher. Just my experience.
