    The gaming thread

    Great little game isn't it? Despite it's unusual premise. It's a good one to watch others play and just chill to the atmosphere, cat gymnastics and weird robots. If you're looking for a GTA-esque game but with decent driving physics give the Mafia series a go. All are great, but the o.g. one...

    The stupid questions thread.

    Swapped tubeless tyre. Former tyre didn't leak at all, and was a breeze to get off. Rim tape looked umblemished and is less than a year old. New tyre was a breeze to get on and seated easily. Only now there's a very small, very irritating leak coming from one spoke hole. Tried chucking more...

    Ai: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Rotorburn.....

    It's like watching turkeys endorsing Christmas; there seems to be zero connection that using AI to do your job is demonstrating that your job shouldn't exist. One of my mates recently got rid of someone who was "writing" copy in the same way, and saw zero issue with it either. Guess it left them...

    The bike industry crisis

    I wonder if their financial situation has been snowballing for a while. Some of those Pushys YT deals last year were insane, had to be below cost.

    Newly Released eBikes and eComponents General

    Yes.... depending on the brand. I think Hopes are fine (bless them, when are they not) and Raceface hubs given they're owned by Fox. Definitely a few others. Otherwise it's expensive surgery or new wheel time.

    The bike industry crisis

    That's a surprise - I guess ballooning transport costs are going to hurt a direct to consumer brand more than most? Some of the comments from customers are a bit concerning.

    What does your day look like?

    Was at the Amour and Artillery Museum on the weekend because shit that blows other shit up is really cool if you're still mentally 12 (me). Awesome place with a really varied collection. Some random highlights: Australian delivered Leopard (on loan from Puckapunyal) German monsters circa...

    What does your day look like?

    Went for a Google to see if any looked good and the single cab workhorse ones don't look as bad. They really did go for a.... distinctive design though.

    Little Things You Hate

    Christ I f***ing hate Harleys. I'm all for a bit of internal combustion noise but Harleys are apparently designed to sound as obnoxious and shit as possible. Air-cooled engines sound good in Porsches, they do not sound good in crude pieces of badly built shit that are lusted after by fat stupid...

    My first Yeti…maybe they do exist?

    They're a really fun bike. I never had a 150mm fork on mine but they work just fine with a 160mm. Despite their low weight and on paper specs they definitely feel more like a race bike, just want to be pinned everywhere rather than being super poppy. Pretty versatile too, can be built to be a...

    Bargain buys thread

    They're a bit of a weird one. I demoed an LT for a weekend alongside a V4 Nomad a few years ago and found the bigger, heavier Nomad a better climber and more spritely on the pedals too. Just didn't do anything better than my considerably older 29er Remedy at the time and got smoked by the...

    @ozzybmx bike shop slapped this one together last week, bit of #inspo for you 😀

    Newly Released eBikes and eComponents General

    Christ, I'd completely forgotten about that Picasso of a bicycle. Apparently they rode quite well, plus would also have the bonus of not being able to see it while riding it. That yoke might present some interesting lateral loads on that shock as well.

    All Mountain Tyres

    They're a discontinued series of tyres so if you think flipping them may work out I have copies of yesterday's newspaper and some expired milk for sale. Very competitive prices.... As far as how they are I've been mucking around with a set of 2.6s in Grid Trail Butcher, Grid Gravity Eliminator...
