Running rim locks? They can make things a bit trickier.
Putting one or two clamps on the tyre to keep the beads in the center of the rim can help greatly or just stand on the opposite side.
Three tyre levers is also a must and taking very small "bites".
Before you know it you'll be changing...
All those things you describe are terrible things to deal with. You're right to not feel great about the situation.
I feel like the prevalence of social media driven #liveYourBestLife bullshit creates an extra pressure/unreasonable expectation that the default state of the human condition is...
Thanks for the heads-up. Had a close encounter of the roo variety last week which resulted in my helmet being smashed to bits. Nice to be able to pick up a replacement on short notice at less than RRP.
Had business in Adelaide after which a colleague and I decided we should drive home to Karntburra via Melrose and the new epic trail. Camped overnight at the caravan park and did the loop the following morning.
Day was unusually cool, so perfect for riding. Trail was a lot of fun but would not...
OK. Which one you blokes is it that's dealing to buy LEGO?

The only good thing about imperial is that the plate we use comes in 1/4" 1/2" etc so I if I'm making say a 6mm thick part I can take 1/4" stock and get a precise thickness metric part out the other end.
I don't do enough with imperial to understand what the yanks are on about with their feeds...
How are the bearings spaced? Floating tube between bearings with a straight able or axle with machined lips to spacer the bearings?
Pressing a bearing in (particularly if cocked) can create a burr up against the outer race face which will result in the bearings being preloaded too much/being...
Yeah, nah. A soldered joint onto a wire can be "good enough" and better than a bad crimp, but a good crimp will always be better than a good solder joint. There's a reason why soldering is for electrical connections between hard components (eg. pcb and a solid pin) and crimping is for flexible...
For car automotive (and any other vibration prone environments) I would avoid solder joints. They make the multistrand wires stiff where they are soldered and provide a localised stress riser. A good crimp connection is best. Those wire tap things are the work of the devil.
Canbus is crap for...
I've been to the oldest cafe in Germany (Cafe Prinzess in Regensburg) and although they have been selling coffee for hundreds of years it was still terrible. You need to find an Italian restaurant to even have a chance at something drinkable.
Did a Stromlo no.4 lap last night. I don't think many people get out the back any more. Trails looked very unridden and certainly unmaintained. Was fast, rocky, eroded and sandy. Lots of fun and nighttime makes everything look different.
