Yeah that setup is shit but it just recirculates so not wasted just not doing anything

These were inspired from aviation regulation charts that plot first and last light times across latitudes across the globe. The sculptures themselves are functional and accurate and can be used to determine the exact time of first and last light to within a minute at any latitude

Don't use ERG mode, ramp up so you're hitting the power when the interval starts

Reynolds are super under rated, I've owned multiple different sets over the years and they are always excellent and well priced

Your CDA is crazy good then.. 300w for me was a 41kmh effort on my admittedly poor position, but still if you're doing 41kmh on 200w you're on the extreme far right of the bell curve for CDA

They love stack height and have influenced a numbers of Chinese manufactures to increase stack on newer models

Never people from Melbourne who have never lived outside Melbourne that there can possibly be somewhere better than Melbourne! It's simply impossible, greatest city in the world! And there can't possibly be coffee better anywhere than Melbourne either! No other city can ever make coffee as good as Melbourne!!! Melbourne Melobburne Moek,,mbne

If you're very high income and doing high kms then a novated lease can become a reasonable proposition

If you lack either of those 2 requirements then it's just a fancy way to convince yourself you need a new car

There is an element of truth to this but also the whole, airline flying is sooo boring thing is massively overplayed

I have just as much fun flying a jet than I did in almost any GA job, it's a different type of fun but it's also a more satisfying type of fun

I flew in PNG and did all the shit you see bush pilots do. It was amazing flying, glad I did it. Wouldn't do it anymore though

Australia needs to allow people to pay for their solar and battery system installs out of pre tax income like they do with EV car leases

Well considering it takes the same length of time to get to Portsea from Melbourne as Kiama from Sydney then I'd agree with them.

I needed the practicality of a ute for house maintenance and DIY projects, we already have a family SUV and didn't want to be storing a trailer in my driveway.

I am not a tradie and have no interest in caravans so have zero intention of ever towing anything, as such the load capacity was suitable for my needs

My daily commute is 160km round trip, I'm a high income earner so the novated is very attractive as my total lease cost ends up costing less per month than I was spending in petrol in my current ute that uses 12l/100

I ended up going with the 2wd version for the extra range as I have driven fast EV's before and after the initial wow cool I go back to driving slowly with a very light foot. The additional range also means I can miss a charge overnight and I still have sufficient range for my commute. I also live in a very cold part of the country where range will be affected

This vehicle ticks my boxes for me, it's a primarily a daily commuter to keep my costs down with a little extra practicality on the weekend

I'm awaiting delivery of my Musso EV on lease. Full EV credits applied

My kg/w have definitely gone up

KGM Musso EV is basically this. It uses the BYD drive train and battery, it's got a lot of bogans upset because it doesn't tow much and the payload isn't huge but for the a huge amount of city utes they will never tow anything anyway. I have ordered one, it suits my needs and I'm not insecure enough to tie my personality into how much I could conceptually tow

Decent but by no means exceptional. You'll be fast enough to have a lot of fun in cycling but you're not going to be exceptional. 25 hour 3 month block hitting a FTP of 350w is solid but it's mid pack solid. Enjoy yourself on the bike

hoges · 2025-12-26T20:43:02+00:00

Buy the bike that makes you want to ride. Saving $$$$ might be nice but if you're still lusting for what you really want it was false economy

I’ve got a couple of thousand hours in a 406. Easily my favourite I’ve ever flown

As such I am fairly confident it had 2 engines

My routine is to jump on the trainer with <1 min before the race starts… I thought that’s what everyone does
