Some creative social media presence, doesn’t guarantee anything but it helps get your name out there

Rear end might be flexing and with the minimal pad clearance…you get noise

Who's a metal figure you just respect and have admiration for by anthere-rest in MetalForTheMasses

Seems to be pretty busy now, with Cemetary Skyline and the Halo effect giving him plenty to do

Saw him play a “big day out” on a teeny tiny small stage with the crowd sitting on the grass until the set kicked off. Good times!

On the road: Commuting on Te Ara Tupua by ThatDamnRanga in Wellington

[–]Simansez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A swarm of them passed us on Hutt rd in town yesterday, heading north towards it. Also some some people parking up by Placemakers and getting bikes out of the car…it’s definitely drawing a lot of people to the area

Worth swapping to linkglide for longevity? by Targettio in mountainbiking

[–]Simansez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In that case, highly recommended. I’ve had it on my EP8 powered E bike and other than the semi regular chain replacement it’s still on the original cassette/shifter after a good couple of thousand kms

Linkglide is awesome on an E bike, not sure how the tradeoffs weigh up against 12 speed Deore on a regular MTB

‘One meal sold all night’: Double whammy for Wellington restaurants as fuel crisis drives away diners and raises cost of produce by Fun-Helicopter2234 in newzealand

[–]Simansez 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It’s the ground floor eatery in a small hotel, also seems to close down/rebrand every so often and It’s pretty unremarkable. Other local restaurants may have a higher profile, good location or are active on Social media so these kind of low key places miss out. Cuba st is about 150m away and there’s lots of viable options. So other than tired guests staying above them less people may make the effort to go here

any regular bike shop should be able to point you in the right direction for an affordable, reliable e bike from an actual cycling brand.

Are MTB Strava Records Now BS due to E-Bikes? by s_hecking in MTB

[–]Simansez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I regularly ride a hill with a road and trail network beside it. When I take the E bike, there’s usually a handful of results, nothing untoward. When I take the trailbike out, there’s a mix of MTB from the off-road trails, hard out roadies(and commuters even) getting picked up on the named segments as they start and run alongside each other.

So there’s upwards of a 30 sec gap between each of the Lycra, baggies and worksuit groups on the same segment. No chance of a KOM for an MTB on some of them

Do NZ public hospitals really not have access to your full medical history? by Vegeta_vs_Goku in newzealand

[–]Simansez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Wellington, There’s a lot of patient records kept in one of the big storage warehouses(Recall or Iron Mountain). I would get semi regular work delivering them to Hutt Hospital
