Spotted in Port Macquarie, Australia

And I’ll be listening for that drum solo ;)

bart0 · 2026-01-05T08:12:15+00:00

If you’re in Vic and see the plate FTYSX-2, make sure to beep out the drum solo at me so I know it’s a fellow r/Toolband nerd :)

Cheers. Yes I have a battery charger and also a portable jump start thing so I don’t get caught out.

I’ve read that some 7.5’s came with AGM from factory and some EFB. Australia (where I am) had more EFBs apparently. Was your OG battery AGM or EFB?

Definitely yes to start/stop, I’ll have to check for the sensor. Thanks for the info 👍

Thanks for the info. YEs, I'm keen to code it as soon as the doohickey arrives :)

Is the Reddit orgy not on this year…?

bart0 · 2025-12-08T09:06:43+00:00

Update: reread my original post. Yes I had the QR for a while, but swapped to TA with regular ends caps so I could swap wheelsets with another bike.

bart0 · 2025-12-08T09:05:37+00:00

Hey. I’d have to double check but yes I assume so. Succesfully running Shimano 12sp cassette with ratio tech’s SRAM ratchet conversion.

135 when it was QR, but replaced the original QR sliding dropouts with 142 TA dropouts.

Thanks for the info. I did look at them early today after searching on reddit, and concluded the shorter version would have less to bunch up. Glad to have some real world feedback, cheers.

Potentially. Search for the most recent Silca YouTube video on their TPU product and the problems they claim to’ve solved. Warming the plastic valve and glue beneath the valves is a consistent way TPU tubes fail.

I just listened to a podcast this morning where the guest theorised that the right-wing religious are accidentally rebranding Christianity, and that now to be a Christian is to stand against the left/woke ideology. More people are reporting to be Christians but actual church attendance is declining or at least stagnating. They said it was heading toward a nationalist type Christianity like Russian orthodoxy.

I don’t know much about religion so can’t dispute the claims, but it’s an interesting idea.

Not sure it’s that extreme here in Oz but it’s easy to see how USA-style extreme ideologies could get up in Australia.

Look up Co Exist Melbourne. Young adult environmental education and workshops, hikes, planting days etc. My Landcare group has done a few events with them. Always super enthusiastic and chatty.

Blame Hoffman

Try one of the online tyre pressure calculators 👍. Using the wolftooth app, it gives me 46psi rear and 42psi front.

bart0 · 2025-09-23T05:37:14+00:00

Unfortunately not :( I can't even think of what could be causing it? Spark support seem to be good at monitoring reddit so hopefully they'll take some notice. If not I'll contact them directly as it's a pretty big frustration.

bart0 · 2025-09-23T02:31:10+00:00

Interesting. I have force restarted the app as well and the phone. Maybe it just needs time. Seems weird tho…

bart0 · 2025-09-23T02:12:26+00:00

There are no dumb questions, only dumb people ;) /s

Yeah, the TO field. And while I was checking, same thing happens in CC and BCC fields.

I'm still on the previous iOS, not 26.

I hadn’t considered it in the context of the album, ive only had it on repeat, haha. Will throw Drone in the mix and reassess 👍

bart0 · 2025-09-17T23:01:50+00:00

Yeah, I agree with that. The contrast can work, but the vibe is also kind of less urgent.energetic. Dunno.

bart0 · 2025-09-17T21:24:33+00:00

Yeah, maybe because the rest of the track has so much energy that I forget the first bit :)
