For Sale on the French Gumtree... leboncoin.fr/velos/844307227.htm?ca=12_s

I found them second hand on the french Gumtree equivalent. They cost me €110 but they are in very good shape.
The other designs of these cranks aren't all amazing. I was looking for hollowed/CNCed spiders, and they weren't much option, except some FSA carbon cranksets.

Rotor Agilis... Dunno which year.

@negaatio Thanks! I can't find any Salsa stem under 100mm unfortunately. This one suits me for the time being.

I have some new crankset on my bicycle!
After the new dynamo hub and lights, I'm not sure it is a great choice, but I think it looks alright. In real life, the colour of the frame and cranks are closer than in the picture...

I just added some bone conduction headphones to my collection (Fidelio L2 and ATH-IM50): the Aftershokz Trekz Titanium.
I bought them to try listen while cycling and wasn't expecting anything amazing in terms of sound quality, especially in the higher frequencies, but I am very pleasantly surprised. It's not as good as the rest of my collection of course, but it's more than I was expecting. They're as good as the ear buds I got with my Samsung S4 with the same functionalities. The higher frequency

I haven't tried them on the bike yet, but plan to do so in the evening. First try walking around on a busy street allowed to listen to a podcast without losing spacial awareness, that was a novel experience...

C*** of the month on my commute yesterday evening: A lady on a dutch bike having a video call...

I got myself a SP Dynamo Hub, the V9. With that I got an AXA front light, I think the bluelight 30 and a B&M rear light. they're great for commuting in the city but I haven't tried them in poorly lit areas.

Really efficient little combo:

Invites anybody

Is anybody interested in a OP2 invite? Got three after my recent purchase and they're valid until the 18TH
PM me!

Can anybody buy this before I do. I've already got one in aluminium but I really want this:
GT Force Steel Road Bike

Ha, I came here to post that... I've been looking for one here in France.
It's in my current awesomecarIcouldafford top 5

I used that template when I had to cut mine.
I cut slightly too large and filed the sim until it fitted the tray. It isn't hard but it worked until I got my replacement nano.

I second all of that

The Ego One mini kit is really good with the sub-ohm heads, but I found the 1.3ohms heads aren't as good in terms of taste. Also, if you take the smaller battery, it really doesn't last long with the sub-ohm heads. I haven't heard about the bigger of the two.

Personally I'd god with an istick and Aerotank, which will give you all the otpions you mentioned.
Eleaf also just released a Temperature Control istick that'll allow you to use all the aerotank heads: Nickel, kanthal 1.2 and sub-ohm heads and the rebuildable deck.

If I were to purchase any new piece of kit I'd go for istick TC and aerotank... Even if you don't use the temperature control you'll get a very good combo.

To be honnest, apart from my drippers, I'm still doing microcoils on most my devices. I tried the zipper coils build but you need a pretty good dripper and I only have cheapo clones.

I like claptons but I have only done 3 or 4.

And since I've had my Mini SX M, I only do simple coils but they last much longer being temperature controlled and all...

Clapton coils are awesome. And they're not too hard to make, but it takes patience and a bit of training. I use them one all my drippers nowadays.

TwistedMesses also make crazy coils builds tutorials, like the staggered clapton...

You can buy some premade clapton coils, most advanced ecig shops seem to stock them lately.

For the ni builds, try with a long M3 screw and wrap your nickel around the threads. It makes building it really easy and even. Then I just attach it to my atomizer and unscrew gently. Works perfectly for me...

Try the Squape Reloaded out if you can. In terms of taste, it's as good as my kayfun, but it's a bit more practical: in order to fill it, you unscrew the base, revealing the build deck which allows to change wicks or coil without emptying the tank.
I got a clone for about £35 on the Bay.

I got new toys: on the left, my old ZNA with a Squape R Clone, which is probably the best atomizer I have at the moment, and on the right, my old Kayfun on a Yihi Mini SX M class Mod and it's awesome!
it's my first temperature controlled build and it's just so good. The temperature control part is really good: Hit and taste are excellent, battery life is impressive and once you know what temperature and power is best for you, there's nothing more to worry about...
Wow vape, much stable.

I've got one as well and IMO it really is good value. The standard coils are not bad at all: the 1.2ohms is not amazing but the .5ohms are quite good.
The RBA base is really well thought out and very easy to build in.
It's almost as good as my Kayfun in terms of taste, but it's far more practical than the latter.

I'm starting to play with Lightroom's functions a bit more... Here's one of my latest pics using a gradient exposure filter

I've got myself a Joby Ultrasling and it does a pretty good job. It attaches on the tripod screw so it's easily removed and I can put the camera on my back as I would with a bag. It's quite nifty.

Has anybody tried temperature controlled mods?
I'm really tempted to try it out, but another opinion would be nice...

CM12 is good for battery life generally, but if the kernel isn't properly optimised for your device, you won't get much better perf/battery life.
Which is actually surprising on a Nex5, i'd have expected proper kernel support. When I was still using CM12, I would add a good 50% battery by underclocking and undervolting while choosing the right CPU Governor. it takes a lot of tinkering to get it right though.

That is spot on! The seatpost ties it all in together and it looks rad! Well done
