Little Things You Hate

^Yes!!!! soooooo many fkn questions.

DIY checkouts at Coles and Woolies. Specifically when you use the checkout labelled "card payment only", it asks you to confirm that you want to proceed given its card payment only, and it then asks you at the end how you'd like to pay for that...

Might be card only or buggery by invitation.

Got a new build underway - ordered the last part I need from an Aus store on the weekend rather than risk an OS delivery (headset, so needs to go in first) and it won't be delivered till next week now. Called a couple of LBS' to try and source one, most haven't called back.

You aren't surprised by this I hope @99_FGT? Australian retailers are too busy putting their heads in the sand to actually attempt service...


Definitely fuck self check out. Why have card only? Why???????

 

[99_FGT]

@pink poodle I shouldn't be I guess, even Pushy's (whose record for me was just over 2 hours) is becoming less reliable now.

We just don't grasp customer service here. Don't worry it isn't just bike retail, it is all aspects of life.

I read a shit ton of new bike descriptions and it seems like the in thing to say nowadays is "Climbs effortlessly". Bullshit, you lying bunch of potato sacks, there's no mountain bike out there that climbs without effort, you can eat a bag of dog turds.

Just bike reviews.
“Pedals amazingly for the travel, thanks to high antisquat numbers”= pedal kickback like a bitch. Everythings a compromise, be upfront about them.

My Fatbike does, when it is on the bike rack. Otherwise it is tough going even down the sandhills.

E-fat-e-bike is your answer.

Even e-bikes require some effort.

LTIH Spank wank bead locks. I mounted a brand new magic mary to see what it looked like on the 28mm rims and trying to remove the tyre from the bead required some effort with a lot of swearing involved.
