    My Psylos had self cleaning seals. One run down Mt Buller and all of the fluids from the inside were on the outside. It also had a rattle.

    The QUICK question thread.....

    Yes, the tables for the springs suck. What stroke are you using? When I was looking for a spring it seemed I needed to go to the SLS springs or pick another brand to get a 65mm spring over 600 lb between 127 and 152mm long. It went in the too hard basket.

    Ebike Max Weight

    If it anythign like e-scooters it will be a strength consideration but also a power consideration. The more you way the more power required to get you up the hill the more wear on everything. I am heavy enough that my sisters Segway e-scooter won't go up more than a very gentle incline.

    You know you're getting old when ...

    A mate runs a number of aquatic centres and is gutted by the safety rules @ public pools. He gets mountains of grief that the centres don't get young people through the doors. He argues that unless you can do dumb shit with your mates no young are going to have any interest in going to the...

    Shorts - The struggle is real

    I will happily pay for a good sock that goes the distance. $20+ for socks that last 10 years seems reasonable.

    Shorts - The struggle is real

    Be careful team. I have heaps and love them - but. I have 10+ year old ones and some 3 year old ones. I got 10 pairs from Defeet via Amazon in 2021 are not the same as the old ones. They wore out really quickly. :( I will be looking at other options next time.
