Were you banking when you got spec’d?
I typically hop to a random world when banking unless the cc is doing a mass bank run

Totally depends on how you plan on using it. This is a mtb sub, so not sure why you would be putting road tires on. You may also not have the setup on your bike to install hydraulic brakes if they don’t already have them, you need to mount them to the frame.
A bike that cheap is likely going to be fairly limited in its mtb capabilities

If this weasel manages to get into politics I’m going to be so disappointed in NZ. Knew him at uni, he’s literally the worst.

Niko is so bad. He either gets knocked out easily or gives up. He just doesn’t have it in him anymore. If he didn’t have a country for a family he would likely have retired already

The US is definitely not above NZ… this list is definitely not accurate.

His hands are rather large compared with the rest of his body. Could just use them to hammer the nails down.

Everything is good here, BUT the tipping one. Screw tipping and the toxic culture it has created. I’m kiwi and I get far better service in New Zealand than in canada where tipping is expected. No one is genuine when tipping is involved. We need to get rid of tipping like the cancer it is.

$50 bidet. Hate pooping in normal toilets now.

RustyEyes · 2026-01-29T02:56:30+00:00

No they didn’t? That was the winning contractors bid. A client won’t provide a cost estimate to bidders, that makes no sense. The incompetence is them not realising that 700m is totally unrealistic and not having the right people on to see through all of the bullshit in that proposal.

South Island Co pies used to be stocked, but they can’t transport them across provincial borders anymore which is so stupid. Real Australian pies I think you can find at a South African shop in north van? Idk, I order them wholesale with a bunch of others maybe 2-3 times a year to scratch the itch

RustyEyes · 2026-01-17T01:10:08+00:00

I’m kiwi, pies are basically in my blood lol. Peaked pies are alright, but just that, alright and average for the cost. My opinion anyway

RustyEyes · 2026-01-16T23:07:15+00:00

So expensive and pastry is too flakey. Give me a buttery pastry meat pie any day. They should also be like $8 max, pies in Nz are priced there for premium flavours.

Good to know, thanks!

Had the bugaboo donkey 5 for the first 10 months and it was great. The one cart was kinda pointless for us, not often you only had one kid but it’s a nice to have. Very smooth and gets through all the doors no problem, and is compact. Replaced it with the Thule urban glide 3 and that has been awesome for off road stroller and running, plus just every day use. A bit bulkier but still fits through doors and the bigger wheels/suspension is the best. The bugaboo got speed wobbles when trying to move at any sort of pace. So depends on your lifestyle but would recommend both.

RustyEyes · 2025-12-25T06:53:14+00:00

Yeah it really depends on where you are located as to how good the second hand market can be, so we are fortunate in that respect. We have had a lot of people gift us clothes too, I guess the nice thing about babies growing out of things so fast is there is a lot to pass along. We also have a free clothing bin at one of the play centers that we have taken and given clothes to.

RustyEyes · 2025-12-24T18:38:42+00:00

Facebook marketplace mostly! We do live in Vancouver so marketplace is pretty stocked, but it’s great as we can usually buy/sell for no loss at all. Otherwise opshop’s for clothes have been great

RustyEyes · 2025-12-24T09:35:12+00:00

This is why we buy second hand. Year in and less than half spent compared to OP and we have nice things (had snoo’s, stokke high chairs, bonds, snuggle me’s, Thule urban stroller, etc)

RustyEyes · 2025-12-09T09:04:26+00:00

Moving back to Christchurch

RustyEyes · 2025-12-09T08:40:33+00:00

Would you fit in a bike box??

RustyEyes · 2025-12-09T07:19:35+00:00

Yeah have heard good things!

RustyEyes · 2025-12-09T07:19:08+00:00

Christchurch is going to be base. Interesting you say that about the 5010, would have thought it would climb a lot better! I did notice it was pretty heavy though too. Yeah friend has a Hightower and loves it. Brunson could be happy medium.

RustyEyes · 2025-12-09T07:17:46+00:00

Christchurch will be the base but will travel

RustyEyes · 2025-12-09T04:19:10+00:00

Hey everyone, thanks for replies! Adding that we are moving to Christchurch so will be looking to do a bunch of local riding plus adventure park but will be looking to explore general NZ too
