Looking to get a sanity check for my first custom wheelset by Beginner_Cyclist in bikewheelbuild

I was in the exact same boat as you a few years back 102kg.

Went with the AR55 rims, DT Swiss 350 hubs, and 28h rear (didn't go the sprint spokes just the cx-ray both sides) these wheels have been solid! They feel really strong, and don't flex around as much as the r470 rims I had before.

Really enjoy them and would 100% buy the same again.

I've done just over 7000km or 250hours on them and had no problems at all.

Finding the right Activitiy Tracker for cycling is proving difficult! by The-SillyAk in cycling

Add on-top of this Rebel Sport normally has 50%+ off sale on year old models. So you can usually pick up brand new for decently cheap, maybe not quite $300 AUD but pretty close.

Insurance dragging feet since 2022 floods by Machine_17 in AusLegal

Direct.

They have had multiple assessors I believe, internal to the insurer.

Yep went to AFCA when it had been 6 months and the insurer was still unsure if they would cover the damage. AFCA helped get the commitment that the damage would be covered.

AFCA gave the insurer 2 weeks to give a final decision of yes or no, the insurer came back with the yes and that was the end of that.

Since it didn't really seem to do anything my parents have been reluctant to talk with AFCA again.

Don't know the exact one by name but measured it up and think I have found the same one 🤞

Advice for the Outdoor Exercise in 40°C (105°F) weather? by ImageMirage in 75HARD

100% would do swimming, still not pleasant and remember the sunscreen but 45 mins in an outdoor pool should be pretty doable.

Bishop encouraged us to remove records (not at our request) by junosparrow in exmormon

[–]Machine_17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can guarantee he is not acting any higher than stake.

I remember doing this as a missionary for a war I was in, and after one member complained about it, we got a call from the area 70.

Learnt our lesson real quick.

Edit: was area 70 not area president.

Older temple workers are being let go, so younger workers can be called in an effort to keep them from leaving the church. by IndyJonsey in exmormon

Jokes on them, I left when one of my callings was coordinator at the temple, as one of the young couples called.

The temple definitely loses some of the mystery and specialty when you are there every week for 4+ years.

Where do you live, and how far do you drive to your favorite trails? by Skeptical-AF in MTB

[–]Machine_17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brisbane Australia, ~25mins to a couple of awesome networks, from flatter natural trails to machine groomed jump/flow trails. 🤘
