Opinion...what would you change?

https://preview.redd.it/msxaxsde5bkh1.png?width=2442&format=png&auto=webp&s=746ee0161f124a48c2eb1fbf2e5d46cca02612e3

So I have Domane SL6 Gen 4. Sram Rival 10-36, Rival 46/33 cranks. Sram/quarq PM. Swapped to Force E1 brifters, E1 front derailleur. I run a redshift stem and kitchen sink handlebars. I run two sets of carbon wheels, one set with 32mm gp5000, the other 38mm Pathfinder pros 2bliss for my gravel setup. Trek aeolus saddle.

Its very comfortable. I know its not the best road or best gravel, its a do ok at both kinda build. Perfect world, bit easier gear for some gravel climbs, but I know Im pretty limited in that sense. And changing the cranks seems to only get me harder gearing.

So what would you change or upgrade next, if anything?

22 F150 Rear taillight Ques

have a 22 F150 xlt CC with blind spot. Cracked a taillight lens. Quick search said it would be simple to move the Blind spot hardware over. However after picking up a replacement lens, it seems my oem light has additional hardware inside that doesn't seem like it's transferable. Did I just get the wrong light or???

27 Bolt question...

Possibly shopping for an EV in the next month or so. short less than 10km/day commutes, 50-100km on the weekend for cycling adventures. Bolt checks a lot of boxes for the price. I have a pickup for a trade in, low kms, online quotes close to 38k. One of my biggest concerns is going forward, GM supporting it, as its being discontinued. Do you think thats a legit concern?

Other option might be a Model 3. I like the software side of teslas more, and frequent updates. Less value on my trade in from them. So the similar price grows.

Ideally I'd like to be in that low 40s range.

Travel pass question

Going away for more than 30 days. Using travel pass, want to add another week or so to my 30 day pass. Don't see a simple way of adding that.

Elevation changes and rerouting worries

Last week did an event, had the route on my K3. Found out at the pre ride the route direction was reversed from what they sent out. Easy enough, follow in reverse. Only the entire time it kept trying to reroute me to who knows where. Thankfully I was with other riders who kept me on track.

So tomorrow I have an event and I notice slight changes between HH route and RWGS, distance and elevation.

First time not feeling super confident in the K3 to follow the route

GP5k AS TR vs Pzero TLR RS

So been running the ASTR in 32 mm for the past year. Been great. Zero complaints. Noticed the rear tire is starting to square off a bit, no more wear markers...so probably soon time to replace.

https://imgur.com/a/TSPrsfg

so then I went down the rabbit hole of tire options. I run the AS TR over the S TR purely for the added puncture protection. Hit the odd rail trail with crushed gravel and road shoulders are anything but clear of debris, so I like having that little extra piece of mind.

My wheels are carbon, 21 inner, 28 outer. Tubeless of course

The Pzero race TLR RS are priced about the same, slightly less puncture but better rolling resistance

I don't really ride in the wet unless Im caught in a passing shower, so wet grip isnt really of concern.

35s seem to be getting a lot of hype recently....help

Can't decide..packable wind/rain jacket

So I looking for a wind jacket, something that will pack easy in a jersey, water resistant for a quick shower. Must have a double zip. Preferably has some sort of pocket.

So my first choice, $70 (cdn) Van Rysel RoadR 900 Ultralight. Pretty cheap, packable. But only one pocket.

second choice, 7mesh Mission. $200. Maybe not quite as jersey packable but stuffs into its own pocket, and can strap to a top tube if you really wanted to, Also has the double zip, 3 full pockets, and two zip pockets.

it seems like a no brainer to get the 7mesh as it has all the features I want, but at over twice the price...sigh

help. talk sense to me

So my Quarq PM is connected to my Garmin, my Karoo head unit, etc. My Karoo I upload to the Sram ride, Garmin goes to Strava. So why would one report avg watts, max power, etc? I understand different brands my calculate things differently, but shouldnt they just be receiving the same stats from the power meter?

also just to be clear, I don't care about the stats, just curious why they would be different
