I know I'm late to the party, I bought the connect module before properly researching fitment (D'OH!) and was about to ask for an RMA from the seller, but found this thread. I'll be attempting it later next week, so wish me luck and thanks @nikpw for the excellent post.

Just replaced e13's on my new Orbea Wild because they came loose after the 2nd ride. Also were tightened to spec with a proper torque wrench before the first ride. They continued to loosen every few rides, even after I removed them, cleaned all the parts and used Lock-Tite when they were...

I've got no problem with people chasing Strava goals, I do it myself for personal goal setting and training. I definitely click-bait titled this one, and it worked for the most part. lol Reminder: in this case I am the Stravasshole. Really, to each their own, live and let live, and all that...

Still figuring out the Hero12 options and some new video editing tools.

Riding Bear Creek in Ellijay GA. The beastly climb at the start of BC2.

New shoes. Continental Argotal 2.4. Hopefully they work as well as my Der Kaiser Projekts did on my acoustic bike.

Daddy?????

Age: 58 Mental age: Wife says I act like a teenager, so... City: Atlanta GA Country: USA Ride: 2021 Orbea Rise FS in XL, with numerous upgrades Ride pic

I've heard the Specialized Levo 6 bolt magnet works well too and has a more powerful magnet. I have a Wild FS and used the Bosch 6 bolt when I upgraded my wheels, but had to put three washers between magnet and rotor, and also had to glue a small fridge magnet to it, to get it close enough to...

Got some Spank J-Type hubs with Stan's Flow EX3 hoops built up by the local pro wheel builder. Custom wheelsets are the best upgrades you can make for maximum payoff, in my opinion. Also replaced the OEM rotors with some lovely Shimano XT SM-RT86 203mm rotors.
