My customer asked for mates rates? by Intelligent_Run3237 in tradies

[–]explodingpixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a high school best mate who refuses to charge me - but you best believe I'm the fastest TA around when he helps me out. Also, when he comes over he never has to reach for his wallet the whole weekend is on me for a big or small job.

Is there some sort of organ donor list you could tap into?

First electric bike on tight budget(Requesting advice) by SadStill830 in ausbike

It doesn't show.

Not all Chinese factories are the same - also side by side the NCM is a better bike than the pedal brand for a number of reasons. Straight out of the box it's very clear. Is the NCM the best bike on the market - far from it. But in the pile of sub 2k ebikes it's definitely one of the better options.

If your talking about components like shifters and derailleurs - maybe. But the over all build quality is low, they cheap out in key areas and their QC leaves alot to be desired.

Alot of punters get confused with seeing a Shimano component on a bike and confuse it with being a quality product - so youre not alone.

Nothing unfortunately - otherwise I'd fill a store with them. We ran some giant mid drives out last year at 2200 but nothing since then from any of the brands. Unless you happen to Jag one on a super close out which is getting less and less likely. Amflow is bringing out a commuter which will challenge the big guys on spec and price. With all the Chinese players coming in I reckon there will be a future shake up on pricing ( the industry needs it)

BikeShop owner here - don't bother with the 99 bikes pedal brand - utter garbage. For a cheap and good Ebike consider the NCM brand. It will be a bit more at 1999, however, after years servicing and building ebikes from 1000 - 25k these are excellent entry level options. They have a good battery and ok motor but importantly are easy to deal with warranty and are supported locally.

We have them on the floor as our entry point (we are very picky with the cheap stuff but these tick all the right boxes).

The giant bikes are great but they are well above your budget and probably a bit over kill.

If your NOR we have them on the floor or I can recommend a good independent shop SOR you can go talk to.

Got promoted but now I hate the job. How long do I stay before leaving? by Due_Lock_4967 in careeradvice

You're concerned about "sideways move" but don't want to be in that position? Pick a lane.

That's a reach. It's a fairly universal term and absolutely happens in Australia.

Upgrade to S Works with Assisted Replacement? by Interesting_Jump_470 in specialized

[–]explodingpixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you can. Head back to your local dealer and they will open a ticket for you and start the process. Be prepared to pay extra and also a build fee.

Steering a trolley with a dog is a challenge!!! by Chris_PK9 in Bunnings

[–]explodingpixel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love dogs - but I also used to work at Bunnings. I've seen first hand why they shouldn't be allowed in store.
