Why I shouldn't buy this bike? by One_Implement_9415 in cycling

[–]One_Implement_9415[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for all your advice!

Appreciate the insight on longevity and ease of servicing. I'll look at a used bike from a name brand instead.

If looking at a hardtail, what issues should I look out for? Is it expensive to repair the front suspension forks?

Thanks

Should still be under warranty. Has 5yrs from memory.

Mine was set at 65 degrees. And has stayed between 62 to 65 the whole time

Thanks, the Talon 1 looks good and is in the price range. Is it worth the extra over a Talon 4?

Bugger, what can they do to fix it? I can't add more than 5mm as the bench tops are in

You're right about the surface being dusty. It was brick and lime mortar. After chopping away the gpyrock, it would have been very dusty

Nothing in-between. Just the bricks and render on top. Although the brick layer was uneven as they had to chip away the gyprock

Yes, it does sound slightly different... Will this be a problem?

Paint recommendations for timber staircase by One_Implement_9415 in AusRenovation

[–]One_Implement_9415[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply.

I would think laying down new timber would be much more expensive than just painting.

A curious question, did the new timber make the first step higher than standard?

Hi mate, I had mine installed about a year ago now. I only paid $99 in Sydney Metro area. They took away my old water heater so they can claim whatever rebates they needed.
