I have converted a number of mountain bikes using mid-drive motor conversion kits. With a decent mountain bike as the donor, the cost has…

Yeah the Ninebot Max has been on my radar for a bit. I have ridden a cheap e-scooter for the last year and now looking for something…

I'm in the market for a good scooter and was waiting for the sales. I am very tempted by this but I can't help feeling the price is too…

I noticed a price increase siite wide. Almost certainly due to a drop in the Aussie dollar due to Covid-19. Voodoo is an old model and is…

The rims are not tubeless ready. I have managed it though using the split tube method. You should find instructions on YouTube.

Yep, I have heard others say "better a good hardtail than a cheap dualie". Fair enough but all I can say if I have both a hardtail and a…

Good grief, there is a massive difference. The Merida has 26" wheels, V-brakes and twist grips to name three bad (cheap) features. The Aldi…

It's not a big issue in my opinion unless you think you would like to replace the chainring at some point - most people don't. I take your…

Na, never even put it together - I could see it was mostly the same as the previous model which I did ride a lot. Looking at my quote I may…

Yes front and rear have QR skewers.

Well, most people start out on hardtails and the Aldi bike isn't a bad way to start. Strangely though, I ride at Ironbark Gully near…

A quick correction to the pricing. As others have suggested, it was $399 back in September so there has been a price increase - probably…

Thanks manic. In answer to your earlier question. It has. 68mm square tapered bottom bracket. The crank appears to be a generic brand.

Perfect for a mid-drive conversion. I have fitted bafang motors to a couple of these bikes.

You might find it a bit big. 170cm is really the minimum height for medium.

NO you can't change the chainring as it is welded to the right-hand crank. You would need to replace the cranks as well!

OK, here is the lowdown on this bike. It is the exact same model Aldi were selling last September. It was also $449 then so no price…

Just to add to my previous comment. Yes there is a hefty price difference between two very similar bikes sold by the same company - albeit…

The bikes are almost identical to each other – made by the same manufacturer and supported by bicyclesonline. The forks are the same on…

No worries - yeah, Ironbark gully is my home! I can't argue with your reasoning and for $750 the Merida is a pretty good deal. Good luck…

Ok, Aldi bike v Merida Mission Nine Fork - Merida has Rock Shox = much better but having said that, still the same 100mm of travel Brakes -…

The Aldi medium size bike has a 17.5" frame and with the 29" wheels I feel you need to be at least 170cm tall (or be short but with long…

It has 26" wheels! You cannot compare with the Aldi bike however if your wife is under 170cm tall, the Aldi medium frame bike with 29"…

Just checked the price at my local bike shop - Norco Storm is $649. the RRP is $749 Main differences/similarities are: Fork - same Brakes -…

If you want to know the full specifications and see the assembly instruction videos for the Aldi Premium 29er go to…

I really don't think there is much difference in weight between the two bikes. Both weigh somewhere between 14 and 15kg I would guess which…

As an owner of both the Aldi Premium 29er (2017) and Flight Trail 1 from Rebel I would like to add my twopence worth… The Flight Trail 1…
