GenerallyClumsy on Manitou Mezzer Expert 29" 180mm Travel Tapered Steerer $503.58 (60% off) Delivered @ Dirt Works

Calvin27 on [QLD] Scott Spark 970 Dual Suspension MTB $1,999 (Was $3,799) @ Just Ride Nerang (in-Store), Bikeline (Contact for Delivery Fee)

Yep. I guess at the end of the day a 160 fork doesn’t weigh that much more than a 130. It also has fairly heavy tubed tyres on.…

Brick50 on [QLD] Scott Spark 970 Dual Suspension MTB $1,999 (Was $3,799) @ Just Ride Nerang (in-Store), Bikeline (Contact for Delivery Fee)

Thanks for the reassurance. I’m not so worried now, I’m more thinking in five+ years time, esp as it is a 2022 model already. But it is…

Orrelljet on Fluid Alpine Gravel Bike $499 (Club Member's Price, Was $899) + Delivery ($0 C&C/ In-Store) @ Anaconda

Yes. This is probably among the most basic, lowest specified bikes you could get.

indented on Garmin Instinct 2 Graphite Standard $320.38 Delivered @ Amazon DE via AU

Was probably this one; I couldn’t deal the green personally. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/854934

The ‘normal’ buldak or the 3x spicy ones?

Larsson on [Prime] TP-Link 10-Port Gigabit Desktop Ethernet Switch with 8-Port PoE+ $76.99 Delivered @ Amazon AU

Sometimes big POE switches have fans, which if it’s in a living room or whatever, can be noisy.

What’s the appeal of these? You can buy a decent pair of branded shoes you can try on (and return!) for $150.

toyapple9 on Tamdhu 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml $80 (Membership Required) + Delivery ($0 C&C/ in-Store) @ Dan Murphy's

I think so, esp at this price. FWIW, it’s also packaged really nicely.

Never understood the market for diy grade site saws like this, surely a corded saw is better for the use case

Also looking if you have any tips - roadie struggling to make sense of mtb stuff - hardtail mostly for gravel and some basic singletrack
