I'd recommend them emailing Focus directly to confirm the warranty period. Don't email the shop, get a confirmation from Focus and then save it. Even after getting my bike covered, I don't know what warranty an aluminium Focus like that has. They don't state it anywhere, that I have seen.

Cracked around the bottom bracket, first they rejected it as a "paint crack." So I sprayed WD40 down the seat tube. When the dirty wd40 came dripping out they just rejected it again, now claiming it only ever had a two year warranty. They sent me an outdated warranty PDF from 2012 as "evidence"...

Watch out buying a non-ebike Aluminium focus! They state a six year warranty on CARBON frames.... Focus then very generously offers a ten year warranty on both carbon and Aluminium ebikes. Notice no mention of Aluminium bikes without a motor? In 2021 I had the warranty denied on my two and a...

I've seen a CX7 on four trolley jacks, one in each corner and all wheels off at a tyre place I go to for work. They took both rear wheels off my Van with a trolley jack on each side, so handbrake certainly wasn't holding it, I was just waiting for it to start moving. Nothing happened.

The DMR Sect Pro dirt jumper looks alright for about $900 with save25

The "super accurate" gauges aren't just about measuring the final result. You can "see" the whole variation in the rim and aim for the middle of the range. You will be able to see exactly where the bend starts and start tightening from the first spoke after it. I used to try and to remove the...

junior women are on track, free to watch on youtube. Broadcast quality is much better than the commentary

In about 2014, the boilermaker's shop I worked for had two 240V Makita die grinders that were shared by everyone. They were treated like garbage, I personally sent one flying when not paying enough attention cleaning out a bored hole, it bent the shaft of the burr to about 45 degrees. They both...

I was going to say that I used to use the quilted blue stuff at an old workplace, we called them "Roar wipes". I just figured out where that name came from after almost 20 years

If you're on a budget, have you looked at what factory wheels are out there? Way better than cheap aftermarket. i30 N-line has 18s, they're not that good looking though. Kia Cerato GT has 18s too, that might actually look ok. I think these are 18? Get them powdercoated all black and they...

Are you keen to send the Eagle cassette and Zee mech to Adelaide? I'd also like to try out a pair of Time pedals if they are available separate and have cleats?

No 15mm for the nuts on 12mm dynabolts No 16mm for common 10mm hardware No 18mm for common 12mm hardware An 11mm? I've only used a 11mm socket when I'm to lazy to find a 7/16" I've never seen a bolt or nut with an 11mm head, are they a thing? probably why they have to give them away, still a...

I will tell Dad to get it done tomorrow. I was just trying to work out the scheme, like they have the same 14 days until they need to transfer the rego, regardless of when the seller puts their form in

I don't have anywhere else to ask this; My dad just sold a car, got paid cash, signed papers and got a photo of the buyers ID that had matching details. But the buyer asked him to wait the maximum 14 days to submit the vehicle disposal notice, to transfer the rego. Why would they want that? I...

$1500? Frame and fork for $1000? Please let me know if I'm way off on valuing this, I'm pretty sentimental about it so my price might be off
