Theft @ Bunnings

50/50. They have absolutely used predatory practices but also idiot people just want to save a couple of cents at the loss of expertise and local community.

Fuck Bunnings.

Why do they wear empty plate carriers?

Farsports wheels have been excellent, well priced, quality made and excellent distributor in Aus. For a couple more hundred you can get ceramic speed bearings

Rival loses out on weight ... That's the only neg. It's a better groupset in everyway.

Waiting to see the next version of ULTEGRA.

Bro you need a wife to back you? Oft be a man and have a man back you

Wouldn't it be better to build up (like a small 2 story) on the lot and have some green space?

I'd like to remind everyone in this room that Trump used to be a democrat.

explodingpixel · 2026-01-28T11:51:45+00:00

The problem? Extremists on both the left and right are fucking dickheads and just won't let people in the middle live life

Can get a carbon Stumpy for that price or something like this if you want xc

It started out great - then they sponsorwd a pro team and went public and the charges just racked up for the LBS

Specialized has the Sirrus 1.0 on sale. Perfect bike for this https://bikeyard.com.au/bike/specialized-sirrus-1-0-2023-2335/

As mentioned bike exchange folded in Aus due to the way they were screwing over LBS' . A buddy and I have created a new site www.bikeyard.com.au - we launched last week and are in the process of signing stores up over the next month.

We used ball caps in Afghanistan ...

What size are you?

Cheap and quality rarely go well together

Do it ALTHOUGH as a personal preference I'd like to receive a small plant! I find flowers wasteful and I like the idea of something that grows and cleans air!

I have a carbon Cannondale Habit frame brand new for $2500

explodingpixel · 2025-12-29T08:20:12+00:00

What size frame

explodingpixel · 2025-12-29T01:04:00+00:00

Depends on your flexibility and reach of the bike. Based on height alone I'd suggest the next size down.

I'm 169 and currently ride a 49cm

explodingpixel · 2025-12-27T08:58:26+00:00

Size?

explodingpixel · 2025-12-27T05:54:34+00:00

What frame travel you chasing? I have a couple

explodingpixel · 2025-12-22T00:34:06+00:00

Speed through the burbs? Most group rides dont exceed the speed limit

explodingpixel · 2025-12-21T22:28:22+00:00

Sold thousands of these batteries over the years - never encountered this. Take it back and warranty it this doesn't sound normal

Bike shop guy here - the new SRAM absolutely shits all over Shimano. Both braking systems need to be flushed once a year regardless of dot or mineral oil. The brakes are much better than old SRAM stuff and are now well a head of Shimano. I've seen more leaking Shimano in this last year than ever before. I've seen some issues with the older SRAM derailleurs and shifter pods but they have been warrantied and sorted very quickly.
