    The election thread - Two middle-late aged white men trying to be blokey and convincing..., same old shit, FFS.

    Are there many of these 10 man groups? Or even one that anyone can name? I'd certainly like to join one. When I was drinking at Kooralbyn Resort I was with Kerry Packer (a looong time ago) but he never shouted me. For a while I kept bumping into him, like at the Lakeside Hotel for breakfast...

    Or possibly a Jeep Cherokee, I think the Yaris would be too reliable.

    I have more than 1 investment property and both my wife and I work (so we can die and our kids can spend it all! I have shown them how to spend on expensive bikes). At first it seems like you are getting a bit of help but as you pay them off that opportunity to claim the interest expenses...

    Thinking of giving a gravel bike a crack

    I think originally, gravel bikes were just CX bikes with taller gearing, disc brakes and no top tube adaptations (for carrying as in CX) like all things, a bunch of people took to them, and as even more came to the party, they all wanted to go in different directions. So now, I need a gravel...

    If Trump gets back in watch America become the hand maid's tale. I still do not understand how a crook and a traitor is allowed to run. I suppose I have to respect the presumption of innocence until the trial finds him guilty but anyone else would not make bail and be held in remand. Surely...

    NPWS fences off trails south of Heathcote Oval

    Yes the Roman trail is rideable but the trails down to the dam are overgrown and impassable unless you get down on your hands and knees. Which I did to see if it was just a short section but I gave up after 30m. If I recall the latest POM detailed the areas identified as potential habitat.

    NPWS fences off trails south of Heathcote Oval

    As it turns out, the broadheaded snake has never been seen in this area. The area was identified as “potential habitat” for the snake, along with other areas in the Sydney basin. Doesn’t sound like best science just politics. Just the usual policy of shutting down access. I’ll find the link to...

    Anyone tried the Swytch conversion kit?

    Has anyone tried the Swytch Bike front wheel conversion kit (or any others)? It looks light weight, compact and very simple to install. They look very easy to swap back to the original non e-bike set up too, just swap out the front wheel, take the battery off, and disconnect the leads. It uses...

    What made you decide to e-bike?

    The reason I'm interested in an eBike is because after a 3 hour surf I'm feeling a bit tired and riding up the 3km hill to get back to the car (in national park) can ruin you for the next day. Some of the boyz are riding electric skateboards back up the hill and there have already been a few...

    What does your day look like?

    My day usually starts with a surf... if it's too small I'll go ride some trails. I'd do both but work keeps getting in the way.

    SRAM XO Trail brakes, rear caliper is stuck on.

    My SRAM XO Trail brake, rear caliper is stuck on.The pads are also worn down to a couple of microns thick. I am thinking perhaps the pistons are simply extending too far and won't retract properly. I tried opening the bleed port and gave the lever a squeeze to remove any excess oil. I prized...

    Shimano Acera BR-M395 front caliper not compatible with IS mount adapter and 160mm rotor?

    That's a 160mm rotor adapter alright... but it is a rear one! The front ones for 160mm have a greater depth/offset. Hopefully someone at your LBS sorted you out by now.
