Hmmmmm. I'm going to go home and check my wife's bike now.... Would LOVE a Genius by the way!

Yeah, the Genius is awesome. Rims are a bit soft, I've got two good flat spots in the rear, flip side of that is that I have not had a puncture, and I'm running tubes. Upgraded the rear hub to the new i9 101, which is a good improvement for technical climbing.

Yeah, I've got a Spark and upgraded the wheelset to a Duroc 35mm for extra strength and handling. Had i9s. Great hubs. The Spark is great but as an allrounder I reckon the Genius would be a perfect bike.

I like that. But for non Canberrans, we have these chevrons painted on one of our divided freeway style roads, the idea being to keep two between you and the car in front for safe braking distance.

Holy shit!!! I am so out of shape for bike building...or something. One of my mates undertook a "I'm cleaning your garage up arsehole" mission recently and I can't find a fucking thing in my nest! I'm grateful for his efforts at giving me some space, but fuck...fishing gear doesn't go in the tool box! Anyway my confession is I am either really out of shape for bike builds or things aren't as easy as they used to be. It took me about 1.5 hours to get a chain guide + BB + crank installed this evening. Sure I was also testing calling and wanking, but still...30-45 minutes dickwad.
My confession today is that I haven't fucked up since the last fuck up.
I'm expecting a major fuckup soon. But I think I may have fucked up with some double-sided tape that I just haven't realised I fucked up yet.
I'm gonna head to Bunnings, grab a Sanga and ask them what can safely get double sided tape off anything I put it on.

Make sure you ask for your onion on top of the snag just to wind them up. And perhaps try eucalyptus oil on that DS tape.

Could definitely go a gluten free vegan bunnings snag this morning!

Qantas A380 grounded after door almost ripped off at Sydney Airport
The damage to the aircraft has forced the cancellation of a return flight between Sydney and Dallas, and is expected to take two weeks to fix.
Entering this on behalf of the ground crew at Qantas maintenance.
Surely you do a full walk around before moving an A380? The dudes who dropped the satellite are feeling slightly less embarrassed? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOAA-19

I have inside knowledge on this. 20 people involved, no-one noticed anything wrong.
Story is a touch misleading - happened a few hours before QF1, was the QF1 aircraft, they swapped to the next-day L.A. aircraft to keep the 8pm flight happening. I can only guess they kept the L.A. route going by pulling the Dallas plane.
Classic case of process not being followed - it would have to be!

I seem to have either lost or never had one of the washers for my shock mounting bolts. Plus I put the wrong one in before I realised I needed said washer. I got another washer, it's thicker but the right diameter, I think that's better than no washer? Santa Cruz only sells it in a kit for $129.
Specialty Fasteners in Fishwyck will probably have something to suit?
What size is it? Just a flat washer?

@Tubbsy @Dales Cannon the thin flat one that say 2 pieces on this diagram:
Specialty had the thicker one.
