wwwsam on Ozito PXC 18V Black Series 4.0ah Lithium Ion Battery $48 + Delivery ($0 C&C/ in-Store) @ Bunnings

I've been very pleased so far. Drawing 15A no problems from Ozito. Googling the part number, I think the cells are from TenPower, which...

furyou on 700C Commuter Bike (7-Speed, 70cm Wheel) $99 (Was $179) + Delivery ($0 C&C) @ Kmart

No bike should be left under awnings. Alloy frame, and keeping the bike clean and oiled will help. But if you can't get a shed (Gumtree?),...

Thanks. I have a few paired direct to lights on the Hue zigbee mesh. Guess I'll just leave them that way. Any chance it will work better...

Have you used that old-fashioned caliper brake style before? You need to loosen the nut at the back of the forks, clamp the brakes on, then...

Drakesy on 700C Commuter Bike (7-Speed, 70cm Wheel) $99 (Was $179) + Delivery ($0 C&C) @ Kmart

I think you missed the "electric" part. The $650 eBike would be no better components than this. But yes, as part of my eBike conversion, I...

Ignore Drakesy, he just enjoys shitting on everything. Yes, it has QR front wheel, so easy to put in a small hatchback, or large sedan boot.

It's bloody good for a Kmart bike! Check your privilege :) You could lose the heavy steel kickstand. Handlebars are also steel. Frame is...

Dealhero999 on 700C Commuter Bike (7-Speed, 70cm Wheel) $99 (Was $179) + Delivery ($0 C&C) @ Kmart

Pros and cons. The Copenhagen has smaller frame, better brakes (probably) and threadless headset. But it is heavier and has inferior...

Jason Genova on 700C Commuter Bike (7-Speed, 70cm Wheel) $99 (Was $179) + Delivery ($0 C&C) @ Kmart

Be warned that the frame is big already, and adding a big seat will add to the minimum height.

You mean the brakes were difficult to adjust? Caliper brakes are always trickier than V-brakes, but a short youtube video will show you...

You mean the trigger control? Some brushed ones feel nice, some don't. But good point - the brushless require fancier electronics, a...

How do you know it is "more powerful"? That is true *if* they draw the same electrical power, but you are making an unwarranted assumption....

Perhaps you were trying to cut it too low? That's not good for the grass.

WrightRightWriteRite on Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 5 Chromebook (13.3" OLED, 4GB RAM, 128GB Storage) $539.10 + Delivery ($0 C&C) @ JB Hi-Fi

You are confused with Windows. Or Ubuntu, to be honest. Or Android. IOS still runs in 2GB OK.

bargaino commented on Bistro Double Wall Mugs Set of 6 $62.05 for First Online Order Only (40% off + 10%) + Free Delivery @ Bodum
That's a bit odd. Isn't the handle redundant on a double-wall glass? P.S. my Bodum glasses have never broken, unlike the Target ones.

edrift on 2-Pack LED String Lights $9.99 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $39 Spend) @ Proxima Direct Amazon AU

Like the above they, are very low power, and big spacing. OK if there is no other lighting.

If you can afford this, you are probably too old.

You'll probably want more torque than this has to remove stuck wheel-nuts. It is only a 1/4" drive, and you want 1/2" socket and a long...

Don't bother with these cheap colour bulbs. They say 800 lumens for white, but make no mention of how dim they are in colour mode. Hue or...

Cancel that comment about disc-brakes. They don't apply torque to the dropouts. Any steel forks are good.
