I ride a Dobermann Pinscher, the paintjob on my frame is a little pitted due to perspiration and general non-maintenance.

I'm planning to bring this bike over from singapore, is the pitted paintjob and issue to the quarantine people?

ok so

kinda thinking of getting a 2nd bike to go with the alias

not exactly sure if i'll do it or not

but... toying with the notion of getting a designated road bike,

the two im looking at are, CRX....

and the Bowery Mashup

Bowery-MashUp-Grey.jpg

crx-one hammers freaking hard as a road bike, however, it has too many things in common with the alias, and if it has too much in comon with the alias then i worry i'll favour one bike over the other, plus the mashup is a single speed, therefore it's a completely different ride to the alias and is therefore no threat to the alias... plus i think the bowery mashup looks fuckkinngggg hot

wat you guys reckon?

how much you like the bowery will depend on whether you run the freewheel cog or the fixed wheel. fixed wheels take a fair bit of getting used to as the pedals turn whenever the wheel does. this means no jumping gutters etc unless you are extremely talented. however doing wheelie's backwards certainly impresses people.

depending on how flat it is around where you ride will also determine how much you like the bowery. only having 1 gear means that it will be ok if it is flat, but if it is hilly you will have a bit more trouble.

and you say that having the bikes too much the same may mean that you like 1 more than the other, having 2 bikes totally different may mean that you hate 1 and love the other and may not want to ride 1 at all. at least if they are similar the amount that you prefer one over the other won't be much. and it isn't like you are using them for 2 completely different things, like 1 for cross country or downhill and 1 for road where 2 completely different bikes are what you need. you are pretty much using them both for the same thing.

it'd be an freewheel SS, i dont see what the purpose of everyone having fixies is!!!!

and, basically, it's flat with a few hills all over the place, small hills but hills none the less, they're a challenge

this is my thoughts

alias

versatile

technological

gears

shocks

discbrakes

"lazy" (can change gears at a hill)

mashup

simple

compact

purpose built for speed

challenging ride (better for fitness maybe?)

like yeah, both bikes ARE being used for the same thing, BUT, the difference is "i'm feeling lazy, i wanna use gears/i wanna go trails riding" or "i feel like a workout and am going to a cafe and want something that looks trendy parked next to my soy-a-cino-latte"

also, do these bikes go FAST? the net says they're built for NUTSO speed however when it est rode one it seemed similar speed to my alias? if they go fast then i'm pretty much sold come tax time!

too lazy to change usernames,

your top speed will be slower on a single speed than a flat bar road as the gearing is made to be at a ratio that gives a mix of low gearing for climbing and higher gearing for on flats/down hill.

flat/down hill speed you will be quicker on the alias because you have taller gears that you can change into to go faster. more so on the down hill rather than flat.

the crx you will be faster uphill, flat and downhill than the alias.

because they are different. basically they are just a big bmx with small bars. they are a trend. they sell because they are different, not because they are good. just like girls who wear those stupid big sunnies. they buy them because it is fashion, not because they actually look good.

or it's like an iphone....... LOL

hmm.... and i am definately 100% the kind of idiot that falls for this stuff.. and i won't lie, i still want it haha

...i more want it for fitness.. like it's ride position and the fact that if you have to ride up a hilll for a while tough shit you gotta deal with it...

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
