"The steel NX chainring is so heavy! Aluminum GX is 40 percent lighter!" Sounds heavy until you realise it's 80g vs 140g, so 60g lighter and less durable for twice the price. I also like how thin the spokes are on the steel Sram chainrings, they look cool. I downgraded to NX when the GX was...

SBS commentary is painful, found a live stream on youtube 50cc with Rob and Elliot

my geoblock just kicked in on uci, I'm now back on SBS

A quick update, I built this thing last weekend. Including watching a different youtube video for basically every step, it took just under four hours to put together. Nothing about it was hard, except maybe reading the tiny writing on the motherboard. I reckon I could do it in about an hour...

I'm not clicking on that clickbait looking thumbnail. Can you give us the gist, preferably in two sentences or less?

Don't ask me! I don't know if what I'm building will be good or not. I was almost going to get one of these ASUS ROG STRIX things from officeworks, reviews say they're not bad, but they're ugly and not that cheap...

I looked at the 5700g, even that deal is $80 more than the 12400, which put me off, and I've always had intel. Maybe a cheap AMD compatible motherboard would have balanced it out, but I didn't get that far. https://www.scorptec.com.au/bundle/cpu/intel-socket-1700/1278-bdl-1278 I got this...

A few other people suggested that I'd be fine without a separate graphics card, but get a better processor. I ended up going with; i5 12400 with Graphics Gigabyte B660M DS3H AX DDR4 Corsair Vengeance LPX Ryzen 16GB (2x8GB), PC4-25600 (3200MHz) DDR4 A faster WD SN570 500gb SSD A better...

I'm looking at building my first ever PC, Not really for gaming, but I do need to run my new ultrawide monitor. It seemed like a cheap gaming build would be the best way to make sure the graphics will be compatible and will also be able to use Display Port cable instead of HDMI. Can anyone who...

my favorite tensioner was a Zee mech, good tension, nice and short with a clutch you can turn on/off, think i used a longer limit screw and a tiny offcut of cable to lock it up You can't run fat chains, but I think i used a 7 speed chain, but other than that, they're perfect. I have one of...

Yes, it's gone now, maybe there is a bit of a delay from when they delete it. It was $350 with carbon cranks, fox fork and shock, a dropper, something like a X1 drivetrain and I think it was carbon too. Looked like a pretty average bike to me, but it is worth at least $1500, probably more

I offered them $300, for a bit of fun, and the ad was immediately deleted **Actually I can still see it, but I got a "sorry item no longer available" message. Maybe a scam?

Looks familiar, about 15 years ago I drove a Daihatsu Charade from Adelaide to Sydney. The rear trailing link bolt fell out, and started dragging on the road. luckily it was the rear end of the arm, or it might have pole vaulted the back of the car. I used an Allen key to replace the missing...

I might be totally wrong, but I had the understanding that many people's transport needs could be met by a slower overnight charge from a standard 10a outlet In metro apartments I would think the average km's to be quite low, and maybe a few bigger chargers could be available for when people...
