Yarp. I did that once on the beach, rode one way at low tide on full pressure and then dumped heaps to come back at high tide. Pretty much had nuffink in the rear and killed the tyre.

Not sure where to post this. Lets assume pushys have a lot of $$
Provably the only way to get parts to sell

Last year BikeBug had a decent stock of Shimano and well priced too, Pushys and MTBD had nothing.
Does BikeBug have a better or different supplier ?
I bought off BB on about 3-4 occasions last year compared to probably twice ever before that.
Hopefully bikebug prices and min order for free delivery don't change.

They do. They have a religious backing, and are also tied into flight centre...

These are the two current standards for mechanical gauges ( free from pump):

-https://www.leadoutsports.com.au/efficient-velo-bleedin-gauge
there is a significant difference in price, the second is used at WC for cyclo-cross in particular.
99 bikes were / are tied into Flight Centre. Not sure if Pushys are too?

Mr Greenfield
99 bikes is part of “the pedal group”. founder Matt Turner, his father Graham was a co-founder and is MD of flight centre. Flight centre bought into 99 bikes to fund the purchase of advanced traders and took 99 bikes from a retailer, to be vertically integrated retail and wholesale and became known as “the pedal group”
Flight centre is publicly listed, so info is in the public domain. Flight Centre owns half of the Pedal Group, with other main shareholders being Graham Turner (22.5 per cent), Matt Turner (15.85 per cent) and employees the remainder.
Pushy’s sold a slice of the business last year to CPE Capital. CPE has funded the acquisition of Bike Bug.
Some great success stories here. You’re doing the right thing when private equity buys in a minority share to be part of the growth.

Skroo is very switched on, nice bloke to have a quiet wine with.
I’ve seen him a couple of times up the coast. Was riding down to the Peregian shops on what I believe was a modest old Merida 26er.
He used to ride the Epic (may still do) and give presentations at the end.
Must be pretty down to earth given his (presumed) wealth.

I prefer these to all the other brakes I've tried, including hopes. I grabbed a set to replace some cura 4's. I like the lever feel, a bit more like Shimano imo.

Cheers. Love the Hope feel just a tad more power which the new ones look to solve. Will read some reviews of the Dominions.
