Not electric. Just a budget bike.

Lovinthehd petals are just fine. I'll probably take it to a bike shop to check if everything is good later on. Rode well this morning though.

Well the pedals can be a bit bigger in the basic flat pedal style like that. The ones many mountain bikers use have pins to help have the shoe adhere to the pedal, so you almost need to wear shinpads with those. I've been a clipless user (which means a shoe with a cleat attached to the bottom that fits into a particular type of pedal.....the lack of clip (clipless) goes back to the days of flat pedals combined with toe cage/straps (rat traps) that also used a clip or cleat to keep you in place....but is more a confusing term these days I think.

So what's the suspension like? Take it off any sweet jumps?

Yeah bro, Chris got bike's that'll set you back for the price of a good used car. I went and did a look see at a dealer in Lafayette. Looked at some Chris told me to look at. I was like . But man, they where cool looking very light. Carbon fiber frames, the seat on those cost more than most bikes you'd buy on lower end bikes the price of the whole bike!. Oh tire's that won't run flat! But you two know that already.

Yep they're very popular, and there are throttle twist types capable of well above 25mph, but in some areas they may be regulated like a motorcycle.....

So far, they the law hasn't done that just yet. But to ride at night front and back lights umm at least one mirror. And they gotta ride with traffic in the same direction. Oh and it has to have a tag like when you register your car or truck. But so far no drivers license and no bike liability insurance. But I believe they tried to pass a bill but it failed.

Are you bridging amps?

 

[viseral audio]

your right I keep switching between rooms ,wish I would have bought two, thank god its on wheels lol. I,m running the crown amps in an input Y config. with one amp left and one amp right and one channel going to the woofers and one channel going to the horn tweeter, so bi wired each speaker thought maybe that would help crosstalk without having to bridge?

sorry for the late response, early to bed early to rise

I auditioned a pair HDI 3600 towers a few months ago and loved the sound. If I already didn't own Paradigms I would have put the cash down that day. Great speakers.

I'd just use one channel of the amp for each speaker (and I use a 2502 on my JBL 590s fwiw, more than sufficient power), and was thinking you were bridging since you had two amps but I see no benefit in the bi-wiring/passive bi-amping thing and wouldn't bridge generally anyways due the loss of impedance capabilities....is crosstalk a particular issue you've got with those amps? Was thinking more about dual subs in the same room, tho

 

[viseral audio]

thanks lovinthehd for the input your right I don't hear much difference from using just one amp, just been too lazy to change it back.with the JBL3800,s I use a pair of turbo sound 18 " subs which really don't go that low but have a really nice fill in for bass from 35hz on up and helps smooth out sickouts in my room.someday another jtr sub they are plenty deep for my likes.

 

[viseral audio]

ps I've never heard anything from crosstalk but paranoia got the best of me lol

I lost my FitBit Charge 4 due to a strap failure. I ended up buying an Apple Watch SE with GPS. Dam Apple now terminates all its USB with USB C so I had to buy a USB C to USB adapter. My 4K of Dr Strange came in as well. I can't wait to watch it!!
