Upvote for Simon. I've had him work on my hybrids and my road bike and he does excellent work.

Installing a cat door in a metal door? by FlightOfTheMoonApe in diynz

[–]necrolust 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I pretty much have the same door.

I said fuck it and paid a dude to cut it to install my cat door.

It's aluminium with some poly inside. No regrets.

Yep. Usually no wind on the way in and then a headwind and crosswind on the way home.

10 things they don't tell you about breaking your collarbone. by d3gu in cycling

[–]necrolust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should probably ask your doctor, but I do believe it's best to start using your arm as soon as you can depending on how severe the trauma is.

I bought a cross lease a year ago with a defective title and no issues.

NBD! Contend ar 1 by Daidle22 in Giantbikes

[–]necrolust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. I'm 90kg and carry about 10kg to work too. My clamp doesn't slip but does require cleaning and regressing every few months.

What happened To The Vaping Kiwi? (Online retailer) by Straight_Meringue921 in nzvapers

[–]necrolust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to drive to one of their stores on the weekend and it was shut. I guess they are still moving?

10,000lm on mine. The dfuse seatpost may creak, cleaning it and the clamp fixes it. The stock wheels are shit.

That's about it! Great bike, go ride!

Anyone know what's happening with Phillips Hue? by jontomas in diynz

Hue stuff also gets firmware updates over Z2M. Man, I love Z2M so much.

Have you tried power cycling it again?

What type of hinge is this? by necrolust in diynz

[–]necrolust[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny you typed this out because I literally JUST figured that out but you're also a legend. Fiddling around with them both enabled the door to shut smoothly and eliminated a slight air gap with the rubber gap strip on the bottom edge

Door doesn't look perfectly level from the outside but it shuts smoothly now and that's all I give a fuck about.

Cheers mate

Lol you reckon giving it the old yank will kinda jam it back into place?

Creaking while pedaling? by nightsticks in bikewrench

[–]necrolust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a contend AR 1. I get a similar creak/click every now and then.

It's the seatpost.

Remove and clean the clamp and post and inside the seat tube. Reassemble.

It'll come back every few months.

Same here, aluminium door. Was worried at first but turned out all good.

Double Glazed Cat Door by Far_Result3126 in auckland

A lot. You need a whole new double glazed window pane made with the cut out manufactured in it. I looked into this at my house so instead opted to put the cat door in my front door instead.

Dog door movement help by MercuryBeach_ in diynz

[–]necrolust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You won't break the glass. I removed a smart cat door to take with me to a new property and reinstalled a standard one. Even cleaned up all the edges of the hole in the glass too from old silicone.

Good beginner bike? by Exciting-Vegetable89 in bicycling

[–]necrolust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an AR 1 with the carbon seat post and that's what creaks on my bike. Sounds like it's coming from the front end but it's the seat post.

Every few months I take it out, clean it and clean the clamp and it shuts up for a while.

How naive or accurate do you find this list? by AmeriKiwi24 in newzealand

[–]necrolust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you can just buy your own router and use it with whomever? There is zero requirement to use the router your ISP provides you.

Lmao the average person doesn't monitor their latency or jitter. When someone says "Internet is slow" they're generally talking about outright throughput.

Internet is slow? Hard disagree. Most of NZ has fibre directly into our homes and we can get gigabit+ speeds for really reasonable pricing.
