We've had 4 major flood events in the last 2 months, most of our trails are saturated ( at least by Australian standards) , and I had to pick a 4 day window between storms just to get a chance to ride the Alps with my kids during summer holidays. BUT I'M NOT COMPLAINING !!! It's pure luxury to...

All these snow photos made me think a ride in the Aus Ski fields might be a good idea

Best vending machine ever! Tubes in most sizes, co2 cannisters, and BOTH types of mtb riding food ( skittles for the sugar / preservative high, beef jerky so you can pretend to be tough if someone is watching(

Meanwhile, we've had 3/4 major floods in our part of Australia so the trails are getting a bit soggy. Seemed like a good excuse to go ride the Alps...

I think ktm pushbikes are a completely separate company to their motorcycles - same with husky. But it makes sense for dirt bike companies to branch into emtb - apart from the brand loyalty for cross training , it's a relatively cheap way to dabble into electric . Much cheaper than, say, the...

Heathens. For my morning coffee, I grind 18.7 gms of my favorite beans into my dosing cup, then transfer them into my lelit espresso machine, extracting 34 - 36 gms at 94 degrees c over 28- 30 seconds. If the ambient humidity increases sufficiently , I'll tweak the dose to get the balance back...

Our standard electi al outlet is 10 amp ( 240v) , so that faucet would need an electrician to install it!

You still get a biofilm , and some mineral build up . Or at least, we do - but our water is essentially diluted bird feces ( rainwater collected from our roof, stored in our water tank, pumped through less than perfect water filters) BTW, we recently fitted a small volume under sink electric...

So you're saying I should reconsider sailing over christmas, or just accept our future involves a society with a non pagan calendar ? I almost went gift free this year ( 1 gift slipped through) , research into an electric motor for my 40 year old sailboat continues...and I'm thinking VERY...

We got lucky - installing solar around 15 years ago just before the power companies / political shift occurred. So we had around a 10 year contract where power into the system was paid for at close to the cost of power out - ie THEY paid US $1500 a year , the panels well and truly paid for...

Then we started the ethical discussion about vehicle to grid.... There are significant tax advantages buying an ev through our business, but they only make sense if you cycle the ev every 2/3 years. I'm OK with that, especially if it means my kids get an ev for uni transport - 3 kids, each 2...

The theory is good, in practice it's not viable ( yet). Mostly political , and that's a really sad discussion. Unfortunately , vehicle to load, and especially vehicle to grid inverters have so many hoops to jump through to be legal here that they are crazy expensive and almost impossible to...

Probably allowing for the drop in pressure through the water heater and trying to make sure you had pressure at the tap. ( sorry pcbiker, but you're going to regret those puny pipes in a few years when they start clogging up, or your water heater starts to struggle)

Imagine a world where we treated people with the same dignity as cats. Homeless, flea infested and need a clean? No worries, come live at my place and I'll throw in some free healthcare.

25 years ago I was sitting in the bush with a group of dirtbike riders . We'd run out of ways to exaggerate the days exploits, so conversation returned to normal social stuff - eg " what do you do" First guy was an interventional nuero radiologist! Would you believe most of the people there...

isn't error code 1 just the little battery in your tcu is flat? Get a replacement from the supermarket edit - no, that's code 6, which is weird because replacing that battery fixed code 1 on my bike.

Ken, private message sent - see top right " inbox" re cvt

Ps , enduro bikes can still climb, but we're getting to the point where even a trail bike is more capable than the mountainbikes you raced. There's some interesting trends in, eg, down hill capable hard tails that might translate into expedition bike design in the future, but everyone seems...

I'm looking forward to this - so many boring conventions to challenge. 1 Carbon fibre for a custom build? With your engineering skills, I'm sure you'll overcome it's limitations eg not liking crush forces 2 mid gearbox drive - cutting edge and imho the most exciting advance in emtb this design...

Is it wrong that I want to find a steep hill and see what happens above 250 w of regen?
