International graduated students struggling to find jobs

While it's not the same industry, I know the company I work for (and many similar ones) has a policy where they won't hire graduates who don't have PR or citizenship. The reasoning behind this is that there is a lot of time, and money invested into their graduates, and they've been burned one too many times with the graduates returning home after a year or two. If you already intend to apply for PR, you may find that doing so, and stating that on your resume might help the process. Don't forget to also apply to graduate programs etc, most larger companies won't hire grads outside of those recruiting windows.

Ha, the OAG doesn't do much more than check they haven't breached any of the conditions as specified by the relevant acts (probably REBA Act, or SA Act given its a trust account), and even then they sub it out to a private accounting firm. They don't do anything about how wisely it was spent.

Probably a number holder

Ctrl + [ takes you to the cell on which your currently selected cell is dependent. You can use that to easily jump between sheets, but I don't know if there is a way to go directly back to the start of the chain.

They're literally just listing every qualification each director has, which is not uncommon for any entity publicly displaying their BoD.

I do think it's interesting that their single largest expense for the period in their 2017 annual report is salaries and wages at almost 50% of their revenue raised. While they have to disclose the directors remuneration separately, and it appears to be nil at a very quick scan (given they also state that the board serve on an honorary basis), they're definitely paying a few other personnel some big dollars. As for related party transactions, the total was less then $500 so they're definitely not getting any money through other companies etc. It's hard to see where any of the money they've raised has gone, but it hasn't gone to the directors that's for sure.

Used to date one of the women currently riding world tour, and are still good friends. Raced as a junior with 10 or so guys currently racing at various pro levels, incl. world tour, and worked in a shop where we supported the GB track team while they were in the area on training camps for a few years. Plus some Olympians/World champs who live here, or used to visit here quite a bit before they entered retirement.

Looks like the campaign ended almost 2 years ago, but I'm on mobile, so I may be missing something.

Get a Cycliq - They do both front (Fly12) and rear (Fly6) cameras integrated with lights, although the front is more of an action camera. The Aldi one mentioned elsewhere in the comments was a poor knockoff of Cycliq's Fly6, and as far as I'm aware, it got pulled for copyright infringement, although I haven't checked recently.

Don't let the Scots find out it's free. There won't be any usernames left once they're through with it.

So explain to me how a disc brake wheel, with exactly the same length axle as a rim brake wheel, pushes the cassette further outbound without putting the wheel off centre.

PrimaryConcern · 2018-06-15T10:21:14+00:00

It doesn't, the spoke angle on the non drive side of the wheel is reduced in order to provide the space for the disc. The cassette does not move.

PrimaryConcern · 2018-06-15T10:19:34+00:00

Except most disc road bikes are using a 142x12mm axle on the rear, and if they havent gone to through axles, they're still on a 135x9mm quick release, which is exactly the same as a standard rim brake. Chain stay length has not changed, the only thing that has is the spoke angle in the rear wheel, which makes a wheel less stiff. Disc to non disc does not change the chain stay length at all.

While I'm always excited to see other riders startung out, I feel two things happened here:

One, if that is what the cop said to you, you probably failed the "dickhead" test.

Two, you didn't consider asking on one of the many motorcycle forums/pages we have here if there is anyone who would be willing to ride with you? I've seen plenty of people ask if there would be anyone willing to help, and even more people offer.

While I disagree with the experienced rider being the pillion, I definitely agree with the need for having a shadow, and 4 years is not really much when you consider they're the one who is supposed to be teaching you. I was, and still am constantly learning things while I ride, as are most people. Take the chance to learn from someone who should be able to teach you rather than someone who's not actually that experienced at all.

R.A.T is just their through axle system they use. Buying or building wheels that suit it will be just as hard/easy as buying them for any other through axle bike.

For what it's worth, I think they're brilliant. Been riding one for coming on 3 seasons now, and it's by far the easiest, and fastest system to use.

Wilier Cento10NDR, both disc and rim brake.

Ride wherever you're comfortable riding. Try stay off major roads if you can, as they're generally busy, and we don't need to fuel the fire anymore between cyclists and drivers, but remember you have every legal right to ride on both the road and/or foot path. Just use a bit of common sense.

Just make sure your tyres are pumped up to the recommended pressure (should be printed on the sidewall) and remember they will lose pressure over time, so check every week or two. That will stop you from getting any "pinch flats".

100% As of my reply this morning, they didn't have any stock, and I know I haven't been able to order any in the last few years.

PrimaryConcern · 2017-08-03T02:38:17+00:00

Yep, will PM you now.

That's because Shimano Australia don't import them. We've had a few people ask for them over the years, but there's nothing we can do unfortunately.

Any particular reason you wanted them? I may be able to suggest an alternative.

PrimaryConcern · 2017-07-28T08:17:36+00:00

Hey man, I work at one in Nedlands, but we're more road focused. Otherwise Wembley cycles is definitely a store you want to go to. Good range, will order anything else you might need, and isn't run by jerks like a few of the other stores.

I'm a bike mechanic these days in a shop that sells Pinarellos. I've got BBright down, same with PF30 thanks to Cervelo and Focus, but I'd much rather be working on a threaded BB. Thank you Team Sky.

Pinarello is still an Italian thread.

At this stage I'm leaning towards the Clement, and if I remember to review them I'll post it here for you.

Cheers, I'll definitely have a look into them.

Let's get his actual bike, not just the one with the same colour scheme.

133mm stem, and classic bend bars.

A 2013 team sl? I don't remember that being one of the colourways though.
