That's the stuff...just bear in mind that it's a little stiff compared to the usual outer so tight curves aren't it's thing and the outer plastic is hard so more frame protection might be required. Still...it works fine on my ride.

BMX outer cable is virtually compressionless and is available by the metre for under $5. I think I got mine from RAM Cycles in Adelaide. I've used it on the Niner RLT road bike with BB7 brakes for the last four years. Works a treat...

Yeah...but only because there's not much in the way of trails around here and what is around tends to be more than what I and the dually are really suited to (and I can't afford to move to a burlier dually). Besides, being an old bloke carrying chronic injuries, bouncing from arsehole to...

A length of solar panel mounting bar across the tub with a fork trap attached to it is an option. Or just screw the trap into the tub.

You should drink more...they don't bother me! Otherwise, just smoke them as one would with bees...they abandon ship pretty quick with no harm done.

Freight via Oz Post has been truly mounted...and that doesn't help the process.

High levels of dissolved phosphorus and dissolved iron are all most algae needs as they are usually the only limiting nutrients in our environment.

It's usually an indicator of low levels of dissolved oxygen in the water...the cause of which can be many and varied.

Sand makes hills...and wind can sometimes be an effective alternative. Honestly, going from the Mallee to somewhere with hills...we can't climb or descend but by golly we can pedal...

I was going to post on here about being half passed by a semi trailer on a piece of dual carriageway today whilst trying to claim a least a bit of the Newell Highway in the absence of any sensible shoulder...but you definitely can have that. I don't want that...

Fair crack but that's a big hill compared to much of what Coomie has...sorry, hasn't.

The powder coater at Irymple is as good as any I've used but unless your 'product to be painted' is either ferrous or already powdercoated then don't bother. Go with paint. Main point...who the fuck in Sunraysia (apart from you) is going to give a shit what your fork lowers look like?

I ride because I can. Except I can't seem to find the time. So I don't. But I will....I hope.

Azur top tube bag. Pushys sell them for about $20. But there's a few other iterations...
