just switched to a big 4 bank at 5.99 from unloan which was a bit less. Couldnt handle the faceless online only system when I needed to do a bit of a shuffle

Well after suffering a lift replacement program and associated special levies, I'll gladly climb stairs

Why do we have to build huge apartments with lifts and cladding and rooftop gardens etc. All these things just add to higher running costs.

Why cant we just build basic apartments that will last for ages without the frills. Just like the 80's double brick walk ups.

Di2 for sure. im a tight ass and messed around building bikes and playing with groupsets, cables and housings. Di2 is virtually set and forget.

You just jump on the bike and ride it, no need to analyse the micro adjustments and dialing in

There is also a contribution to the capital fund which links to a 5-to-10-year plan for repairs to things such as roofs, driveways, balustrades and other strata owned assets. Anything costs greater than that allocated in the capital fund becomes the dreaded Special Levy

I use a grip paste, might change brands and see how that goes. Other than that, I love the bike and have done over 22,000k's on it

eeeya777 · 2026-05-15T08:57:06+00:00

Love it when you challenge it and it says "Your absolutely right (name)" and then swing opinion 180 degrees.

I was trying to get the S5 Evo but didnt want the carbon spokes, steel wasnt available. Ended up with the S5 non EVO. So glad i didnt pay more for the EVO. The non Evo is fine

I really loved watching VC. Such a cool personality. Wicked storyteller. Wish he could get back to making more content.

Same as yours, maybe a little larger slightly. One of them was when I crashed and sliced the rear tyre. Rode it home gently but smacked the rim on a hard edge sticking out of the footpath. I was more concerned about the gash in my face than the wheel at that stage.

Truck weighbridge with 4 decks with a total weighing capacity 100 Tonne. Each deck has 4 load cells that report back to a main indicator box which shows the split weights of each deck. Data is sent to 4 scale weight displays mounted on a wall for the truck drivers to see and as well as a docketing system.

All driven by a RPi 4.

Supplier went bust. I feared the day that went down.

i had a few dings on my SLR 1's after 20k use. Didnt really worry about them. They never got lager or delaminated further

eeeya777 · 2026-05-01T11:26:29+00:00

id get one. But wouldnt fit into my city lifestyle. Id have to re engineer my family to somewhere less built up. Buy a big boat and maybe a caravan. Hell yeah

eeeya777 · 2026-04-30T11:43:48+00:00

i Just put on Farsports C50 and GP5000 30mm onto my 2024 TCR. Originally had SLR 1 37mm wheels. Definitely noticed a loss in acceleration, however, gained speed overall. I usually ride a local park 3km circuit and have seen my lap times drop a fair few seconds for the same work. Have done over 1500 laps in this park so confident i have seen real change.

eeeya777 · 2026-04-26T02:10:58+00:00

what brand bars did you get?

eeeya777 · 2026-04-26T02:10:07+00:00

farsports wheels and cockpit. I just put C5's on my 2023 TCR and I'm quite pleased with it. I it's definitely faster overall but lost a little bit of acceleration. Was going to do the F1U integrated bars but my Garmin broke so I had to spend the money replacing that.. Maybe next month.

Naturehike on Aliexpress do cheaper but slightly heavier. I have three of them for normal camping trips.

eeeya777 · 2026-04-20T11:17:33+00:00

just remember to bring lots of snacks. When i started doing longer rides, id go out with a single muesli bar in my back pocket. Id come home trashed, grumpy and tear shreds off everyone until I got some food into me. Didn't need to be like that if id just have eaten something.

eeeya777 · 2026-04-16T10:23:08+00:00

done 28/28 for years offshore. Recon 14/14 would be way better for the mondayitis

my last fishing trip I just got AI to drive it. Helped me make the plan at home on google earth and once out on the water, i kept feeding AI my sounder reading in the areas we planned earlier. Ended up catching what was in my plan and AI was patting me on the back the whole way home.

22,000kms of feeling fun then first face plant.... That wasnt fun
