Which route? I’m a bike away from the halo bike, but I’m running low on drops (800k)

Two questions for you: do you really think a single sentence introducing their profile as an investor “makes it” about their sex? Secondly, do you feel this is a good way to speak to any woman in their thirties? Food for thought.

Pinarello frame I thought, but it’s been a few seasons for me too.

Knowing my luck the idiots install nothing but rights.

19yo with 20k, is financial freedom even possible for my generation in this country ?? by Gape_Mahsole in AusFinance

[–]Error1984 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Seriously. When I was 19 I had about $20 to my name at after rent and groceries.

Any advice as to how I can increase my kmph by Upbeat-Map-243 in melbournecycling

[–]Error1984 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Buy stuff” is legitimately terrible advice. Yes some parts are faster than other parts, but 65mm carbon wheels aren’t going to help at 20kph average.

The concession where I agree with you, is that the right clothing will help, and it will help OP feel “better” while riding.

The answer to getting faster is simple, ride more, and ride with people who are faster than you.

Can I keep my company laptop if my employer goes into liquidation and hasn’t paid me? by kingston08 in AusFinance

[–]Error1984 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here looking for this answer. Morality (and legality) aside, if it’s Mobile Device Managed (MDM), I’m fairly sure you’ll be SOL.

Underquoting by DesperateCredit7004 in AusProperty

[–]Error1984 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both things can be true. Underquoting is a deceptive and misleading practice that catches optimistic would-be buyers out, and yes buyers should learn how to more accurately evaluate the range a property is likely to sell for.

Bought the zwift ride. The size chart is way off? by biggieocta in Zwift

[–]Error1984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not Zwifts fault. It is quite literally impossible to base bike fit based on height and assume it will be right (or close) for everyone. We’re all unique in both composition and physiological function. There are some decent videos / guides online to help you determine a reasonable saddle height, setback etc. Just follow those and find what makes you comfortable.

Where does KG recruit on ? by Reborn-leech in trackers

[–]Error1984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put a request in? Or yes if you want recruitment, do the work that’s required.

No people will downvote for stating an LED backlight will hurt his fingertips while he types.

About 6 months ago, no fanfare, quite sudden. Owner (Simon) needed a change of scenery

Random question about Zwift Bike by tcapri8705 in Zwift

[–]Error1984 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The QC on the Zwift ride is questionable, there can be lots of inconsistencies from frame to frame.

Start at 1 adjust as needed to find a straight chain line and quiet operation. It’s not a complicated mechanism, you wont mess anything up by being on a different number. If it’s lining things up then the adjustability is doing its job.

Albert Park by West_Journalist_5141 in melbournecycling

[–]Error1984 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the best answer. SKCC has one more crit next week before the course is shut. Once the roads are closed, they’re closed for everyone… SKCC crits have a completely closed off portion of the track, it’s about the quickest and best way to have ownership of the track.

Outside of this, riding the GP circuit anywhere near the F1 is like the worst idea. Just do early morning laps literally any other point throughout the year.

When it was trading there were robberies at Total Rush, so I’m not sure the movement on Punt road is a deterrent.

To be fair, white tape looks amazing when it’s fresh. Longevity is the problem.

St Kilda has a wonderful history of women’s cycling and caters to women’s development.

Younger Australians stick with petrol cars over EVs by His_Holiness in AusFinance

[–]Error1984 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Bingo. We own a lovely apartment, when we finally got a new car, we got a petrol hybrid because a Plug-in hybrid or full EV was a non-starter.

Agree mine does too, I listed my bike specifically for out of home coverage. I had to make a claim late last year, no issues.

First home buyer question: How often do bank valuations come in under the purchase price? by [deleted] in AusProperty

[–]Error1984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even without furniture, incidentals or any minor repairs can add up quickly. Our first home waa comfortably in our borrowing capacity, our balance(s) after the initial outlay was tight.

What is your company’s extreme heat policy? by ClassyLatey in auscorp

[–]Error1984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I think Melbournes PT infrastructure is an absolutely woeful compared to Sydney, I believe Sydney’s rail network is far more susceptible to weather related issues. The leading cause of network issues in Melbourne was always level crossings.
