  1. 295k jirrrrrrrr bru criminals falling over themselves right now
  2. Why do I feel there have been more than 8 versions ? ( not counting evo's )
  3. Its definitely geared towards locking you into their ecosystem but why else would they offer it ? Stuff I do willfully to qualify : Renters insurance Loan ( tiny amount that i pay back minimum , literally just to get the points ) 2 lotto tickets pm 3 air time purchases 1 snapscan purchase Fuel at caltex/astron Stuff i do anyway point system or not : have bank account for 10 years or more access banking app more than 5 times pm Use my credit card for purchases ( free swipes vs paying for every swipe with my debit card ) Draft a will through them Share trading through them This is alot of hoops and there are more but the returns of it are massive and wayyyy more than the cost of doing these things ( needed or not ) But I'm 1 in 100 000 , the bank obviously relies on that 100 000 that do similar but not all requirements to make money and pay the top achievers out. Its something many people will just " aggg its BS ...." but they won't look at how much they can get back. These programs are another avenue people can use to offset monthly bills but are just too lazy
  4. Getting to lv5 in ucount can be a ballache but once there the rewards are great. I opt only for points and get back nearly 2.6k( and 2 gigs extra data ) every month vs. about 1100 I'm spending to achieve the level. Also get dischem and makro vouchers now and then
  5. Its only been happening across the entire industry so obviously Trek would've had to follow suit eventually
  6. Wasn't there a post on Bikehub just the other day f an MK4 doing the same ? Trying to find it but
  7. BaGearA

    Formula 1...

    /violent heaving sounds
  8. Looks much more XC than the bigger cousins but looks are just looks. Good points are 34.9mm seatpost and 170mm cranks ( although 165 would be cooler )
  9. Good Place for a handpump , or one of those utility boksies
  10. Aircon business LOL I'm going to remember that for longggggg🤣
  11. Same , gona eek out another two chains on my gx then its back to 11. Also dreading actually finding it
  12. Shimano linkglide 11 with some proper brakes and this bike will sell like hot cakes.
  13. Bike yoke is liek the lyne in this aspect It also has a graphic at the bottom of the post that you use to get an idea of the exposed cable required.
  14. Bikeyoke just uses a cable remote to activate so nearly any dropper remote works with them. No none of the working parts are interchangeable.
  15. Unfortunately it needs to go the CPT yes for it to be serviced by the agents unless you opt for one of the suspension guy sup north ( where I'm assuming you are ? ) The reverb is an over engineered piece of garbage , that harsh but it is. If you service it within the intervals it'll give years of good performance , but only if you stick to the maintenance schedule. Sorry I don't have anything more constructive to say but I've rebuilt maybe around 20 myself and its a shite show Cartridge droppers are better in terms of reliability ( especially if you don't maintain them ) EG Lyne , One up , Bontrager , Transx There are some very good hydraulic posts that are slightly ( ever so ) more reliable than the reverb , like the fox transfer but I put it in the same class as the reverb. Then there's the grand daddy ... Bikeyoke ( similar idea inside as the reverb , but super reliable and has the ability to be bled on the bike by the user ) its service intervals are also way longer.
  16. Lets say the hub is a write off without x part being available If there are no other hubs available + The Rim has cracks around the spokes holes + Being Old Then with a new spokes , nipples , tape and the labour 8k is not far off some mid ally stuff Lots of info + pictures would help a great deal
  17. Try searching for what you can remember in google and ad bikehub at the end If it was deleted then AFAIK you can't view cause its not in the database anymore
  18. Brakes , rotors ( incl options ) , adapters + Bleed kit Seems like a freaking bargain to me
  19. I worded it like dog crap sorry , I meant if a significant amount of water has been absorbed then that will boil long before the oil it self and steam will rise to the lever and displace the oil giving a lever pull of nothing. Hope that makes sense ?
  20. Even if your bike stands dead still I would still flush the brakes once a year , maybe that's total overkill but I do my own maintenance and I find it calming. I also have never had issues relating to the fluid itself while riding. What headshot says about the sram brakes peeling their paint , I have also unfortunately seen that and the guide piston story aswell. Atleast its been recognized and fixed
  21. Boling water can hurt so stay away from that one. Mineral oil , bad for the system and oil. Flush asap but you still have some decent working service out of the brakes. Dot , very bad. Because it absorbs water and if it has already then the steam will rise to the top ( your lever ) because it has a boiling point so much lower than the dot and suddenly there will be jack out of your lever , as in nothing. The above scenarios are super hard to create , even if your brake oil is more than 10 years old. SO don't stress about it too much , regular maintenance on a modern system will give heaps of reliability and decent performance be it dot or mineral based.
  22. I've been looking for a word to describe the calipers and dammit "agricultural " is it !😂
