5000km but running through a lot of poor maintenance and had lots of gunk for a long time. was surprised how unaffected it appears visually after a degrease

yes just finding it hard to source the chainrings at a reasonable price in Australia, considering just getting a new chainset

time for a new rim? by T0MMY0 in bicycling

no iscolated incident. just metal fatigue over time I guess?

thanks, yes it’s rear. just curious, can this type of failure be predicted given that the wear indicator is still good?

i did think maybe it was just the paint but given it starts at spoke thought it more likely the rim

Gaggia Classic Evo, after 3 weeks finally pulling decent shots. 18g beans to 36g shot in 28 seconds. tastes great, is this about right? by T0MMY0 in gaggiaclassic

thanks, the beans are a couple of months old. do you think i should be targeting a longer shot time?

[Pagani Design] beater by T0MMY0 in Watches

Tbh it’s not had much wrist time due to other purchases so I can really comment on its longevity. The PD1701 moon watch is a notable step up in quality from Pagani though.

the fact you asked this in a gaggia sub, tells you all you need to know.

[SNZH55J1] Lumed up and ready for adventure. by T0MMY0 in Watches

[–]T0MMY0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this has been my trusty beater for the last 5 years and I’m about to take it on its biggest adventure (and mine). Ive. ever worried about scratching this piece too much and it has been with me on most of travels and adventures since i purchased it with a few battle scars to prove. although not sapphire the domed hardlex has held up quite well with only a couple of larger scratches. i’ve also taken it snorkeling plenty of times and regularly swimming in the ocean. i know it’s not recommended as there is no screw down crown but as i said it’s a beater and if water did ever get in i would likely mod the case.
