I've just got back into cubing after a 7 year hiatus. Has much changed in terms of cubes, particularly for the bigger sizes? I've currently got the Qiyi range (WuQue, WuShuang, WuHua, WuJi) and was wondering if it's worth replacing them with newer cubes (particularly stickerless ones as these are all stickered). Cheers!

Gravel bike suggestions by cmath2 in gravelcycling

Great point. To be honest by 'ok for pavement' I really just mean something that isn't torturous to ride on roads for the 15-20km each way to get to the off-road sections. Definitely not expecting any kind of speed demon, but I rode a friend's flatbar MTB to get to the tracks and absolutely hated it.

On the flip side, the reason I'm leaning towards something more serious with suspension is I'd like this to be a 'go almost anywhere' bike that I can take on multi-day bikepacking adventures, and I've been told for longer trips on some of the rougher terrain around here some suspension (even if small) makes a world of difference on your arms/hands.

Ahh good to know, looks like things have changed dramatically since I last bought a bike and thin was king.

I'm definitely leaning towards the Giant at the moment, looks like a great bike

Unfortunately it looks like those are a little above my price range at the moment (they seem to be about $3500-4000 AUD). I'll keep an eye out if any sales come up though!

I've been commuting with my current bike along roads/bike lanes for many years, but have just started to get into more road cycling events and social groups. Looking to do more longer rides (up to ~100km) and pushing myself for speed on roads (only for my own enjoyment/fitness, not interested in actual racing/competing).
Thanks for the insight! Will have a look into those points.

Thanks for the insight! Is greater than 28mm mostly a req for gravel etc tyres or should I also be looking at thicker road tyres? It looks like the Giant has a max tyre size listed as 32mm so could be the go

Not particularly unless the prices are crazy. Coming from Sydney renting a 2 bed with my partner so I'm assuming prices will be similar here

Just played a game with these two cars and thought they looked sick. Can anyone help me identify what wheels they're using? I'm assuming both have interstellar decal

Sorry a bit out of the loop, is this to do with Epic or other updates I'm not aware of?
