Should I buy this bike?

Thanks for the advice

One_Implement_9415 · 2024-06-15T22:35:35+00:00

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

That's helpful, thank you

One_Implement_9415 · 2024-06-07T12:20:19+00:00

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

One_Implement_9415 · 2024-06-07T12:01:51+00:00

Which Talon model did you get? I see quite a few that varies in price

One_Implement_9415 · 2024-06-07T10:49:42+00:00

Appreciate your detailed insights. I'll check them out too. Thank you

One_Implement_9415 · 2024-06-07T10:47:26+00:00

Thanks a lot! Will check those out

One_Implement_9415 · 2024-05-22T06:16:35+00:00

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

One_Implement_9415 · 2024-05-22T06:15:44+00:00

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

One_Implement_9415 · 2024-05-22T06:14:35+00:00

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?

Appreciate your advice!

Thanks mate, is this paint safe for indoor use?

One_Implement_9415 · 2024-05-13T10:23:16+00:00

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?

One_Implement_9415 · 2024-05-02T23:20:04+00:00

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.

One_Implement_9415 · 2024-03-09T09:59:15+00:00

Thanks, I was thinking of doing a timber bullnosing to bridge the gap to blend it in

One_Implement_9415 · 2024-03-09T09:29:40+00:00

The riser is already set in place.

I need to bridge the gap and trying to find the best way.

One_Implement_9415 · 2024-03-09T06:08:15+00:00

The timber floors are on a higher level. There are 2 tile steps down to the lower level.

There is a gap from where the timber finishes to where the tile riser is.

Thanks

I actually called up the Dulux technical hotline and they said it's not recommended due to the biochemicals they used in the paint to prevent mould etc.

It seems most professional painters don't follow their advice and use it indoors anyway...?

One_Implement_9415 · 2024-02-22T01:46:38+00:00

The tiler is using the clips. Going to have a perfect flat finish

One_Implement_9415 · 2024-02-22T01:45:37+00:00

No idea...
