    The cooking thread

    As the carver of the roast lamb it is my right to eat the shank as I carve the meat. I once had to be physically restrained from throwing someone out of the house as they asked if they could have the roasted lamb shank for their dog. I don't make the rules (well I guess I do) but I will follow...

    The eeb quick or stupid questions thread.

    Do you think this was the straw that broke the camels back or the pedal strike caused the teeth to strip?

    What did you do TO / WITH / FOR your bike today!

    Haven't had much of a chance to do any pedalling other than the occasional commute to work. Stars aligned Sat when a mate wanted to head for a pub ride. It fit nicely after kid taxi duties for footy etc. Headed out at 3pm, got home at 11pm after accidentally stopping at a few extra pubs -...

    Confessions from the fuckwits

    Did something similar recently - only figured it out when I inadvertently tilted my head and the display magically appear that I remembered that I had my polarised glasses I keep in the car verses my normal sunnies I wear the majority of the time

    2025 World Cup Downhill / EDR

    My local club has switched tracks - for our club racing now you just need some coverage i.e. Bicycle Network etc. It has saved us a significant amount of money. Hopefully more events do something similar and Auscycling can die an insignificant death

    Live Music Thread

    Went and watched King Parrot Sat night in Bendigo, supports were Abreact and No Hope. Didn't know too much about No Hope but there were pretty good. Abreact is a local Bendigo metal band they went hard! Certainly wasn't prepared for King Parrot, far out they were awesome and also chaotic as...

    What did you do TO / WITH / FOR your bike today!

    Looks like you are set up next to where my wife and daughter were set up - Wife was on the eeb and daughter the orange hardtail. I had kids football so couldn't stick around. It's a good cruisey event and they seem to enjoy it every year

    Newly Released eBikes and eComponents General

    Not my experience at all with 11 speed cues - I'm now speccing LG500 chains on all my 11 speed bikes now and will be interesting to see long term and would consider switching some 12 speeds to cues (U6000)

    Sealant thoughts

    Started doing this a few years ago as well. Seems to make a difference - also with vulcanising glue drying out - instead of going bigger I got 20+ small tubes from Ali a few years ago and pop a new one if the last one has dried out (even after being in the fridge). Once that runs out I'll...

    Little Things You Hate

    Thieving pricks - had the wife's ebike stolen from the roof racks on the ute in Wagga Wagga. Targeted theft - CCTV shows old mate entering the park via 'security gate' at 5:27am and left via same 'security gate' at 5:31am barely enough time to get to the site and remove bike. Buggered if I...

    Specialized Angi Crash Sensor

    Got one free ages ago - set it up, gave it a few runs - it reported a few false positives, decided I need less shit to do before going for a ride and never used it again.
