The QUICK question thread.....

Google have signed me up for their new AI assistant...Google Gemini. Other than using Gmail, Chrome, Android phone, and Google for searching I'm not really into technology. Their introductory email is unclear about how to just not sign up for this stuff...

- do I want it? I don't think so, but maybe I'm wrong?

- can I opt out? How?

- help me! I've run out of foil.
 
It's like the ads for Apple Intelligence - so fucking what? I just want to check the weather, use Strava, look at the web and listen to podcasts/music.
 
Smith helmets: do you rate them fit wise and do they get too hot with the extra koroyd honeycomb protection?

The fit depends entirely on the shape of your head. The Koroyd takes the place of some of the EPS so I can't see it adding too much heat.

I've had a couple of Dispatches which fit me fine. I didn't use them on the bike though so I don't have experience of what they breathe like when you're working hard.

We’re with Credit Union SA now and been really happy. Broker got us a deal that was a fair bit better than their standard offerings (and last chat was better than anything else he could get for us at the moment).
 
Ok, finally going to turn everything tubeless after many flats recently.
Is a cheapo compressor from super cheap adequate or should I just go to the servo to seat tyres.
I have no use for a compressor apart from this. Suggestions please

Bit late on this one.

I've been with Qudos Bank from back in the day when they were the Qantas Credit Union. They have been good.

EDIT: Just read the home loan bit. Have had a home loan with them for the last few years. As with anything like a loan over time the rate has snuck up a bit (7.49% now I think). Need to ring them and as for a discount methinks.

What I have found with tyres that are a loose fit on the rim is this tyre inflation hack allows you to have 2 hands on the tyre to be able to push the tread towards the rim which pushes the tyre bead out towards the edges of the rim.

2 trips around the rim with tubeless tape usually negates any loose tyre bead issues.
 
All tubeless tyres I have set up (even though I am not tubeless I've set up quite a few) have been done with a furious floor pump action or late at night at the servo (close to my house). Servo works fine, you get plenty of wierd looks, lean into it and make it wierd.
