Not sure I'd want to go the speed of light on a bike with a QR rear axle that's hanging half out of the dropout...

French drain? (It think that's what they're called... Gravel over a perforated drain pipe)

Riding won't be much good if it's full of water though? :(

Those knives are so underrated. Buy them for a pittance and they stay sharp for ages, and I love how springy and able to deflect the blades are too.

Yeah I realised that, but a lot of folk on here seem to dream of higher POE but be beholden to DT hubs and to scared/heavy to trust their 54t (?) ratchets.

FIFY

Derp, 29". It's set at 170mm travel currently (maximum travel for the 29" Z1), comes with 4x10mm spacers so it can be dropped to 130mm (officially... ;)).

Bump and price drop.

There's some good people in Melbourne, but they're really hard to meet because they live in hiding from all the idiots!

Maybe I missed it, but I thought there would have been a bit more excitement on here for this product release: New 90-Tooth DT Swiss Hub "240 Ratchet DEG" - VitalMTB

You're saying we should just send the trophy to @Ackland now to save time?

Yeah but it'd cost 1.8 million dollars per 100 metres and wash out in 2 months time.

Out of curiosity - what was the latest/least worst dual-cab you've driven? Small cars aren't automatically good either sadly. I drove a new (demo car) Honda [edit] City back in '09 and was the most dangerous vehicle I have ever driven to this day (it had just endless bucketloads, and swathes of...

An Atto 3 really isn't that big a car. They look SUV-like, but mostly they just sit higher to accomodate the battery tray. They are actually a few mm shorter (bumper to bumper) than a Cerato hatch - and the Cerato only gives up 12L of boot space (not counting a frunk on the Atto if it has...

Ironically a lot of the better/smarter ones do. Generally if mechanics don't have some decent baseline (core) strength - especially before starting the role, or do some ongoing work to maintain some (core) strength they're quite likely to get injured (strain/sprain/overstretching, etc...) from...

Is that a QLD thing? I've heard of the GST exemption for novated lease, but not that...

Do not get into trucks then. :p The "heavy diesel" trade designation ain't no joke! The inter-axle* prop shaft on the trucks I work with (which is about the same length as the Suzi's rear prop shaft) is 53.5kgs. ;) (*between the two diffs)

For me the reduced purchase price via a novated lease would (mostly) offset the finance costs, the slight technical problem being that I can't get a novated lease through my work (yet). It'd still be dearer for me overall, but at least would greatly reduce the need to have money in advance. I...

This is always touted but I haven't seen a lot of maths to back it up in reality unless you're cashed up and already looking at cars in the price bracket most EV's sit at. Might be an option for you, but it's arrogant to assume it applies to the masses. If someone just needed cheap(ish)...
