Hi folks just discovered this on purchasing a new firestick as my old one has given up the ghost.

I’m in New Zealand so not subject to the American Apple TV stuff.

Guess the only way is to connect my laptop to the tv now :( . Unless the other ways please help 😕

F1TV’s pre-race show shows the driver standings, and there’s Liam Lawson with an 🇦🇺 (Australian flag) and not the New Zealand flag 🇳🇿. I know it’s similar but come on 🤦‍♂️.

So I flagged tubeless and have been running tubes in my tubeless tyres.

Got a puncture tonight and it’s an absolute bastard getting the tyre on. Are the tube version any easier to fit?

Not looking to hear the virtues of tubeless 🤣

When do you consider a tyre a right off? I Have GP5000 tubeless tyres the tubeless system is more trouble than it’s worth for the most part I’ve had some success and some not. I chucked a tube in the rear and punctured again fml 🤦‍♂️ the last 5 rides I’ve had a puncture 4 times. There’s nothing in the tyre when I cleaned all the sealant i inspected it and nothing. After getting home today I notice a definite cut in the tyre although small is this tyre a right off even using a tube? Wondering if any shit I ride over is just going to get in there.

They were like $150 NZD so I’m kinda pissed if that’s all she wrote for that tyre when I’ve done maybe 1000k on it.

Looking to replace stock tyres on road bike. What are the best value/ puncture resistance and ride feel ?

Hi Folks, Road bike convert over the last year. Bought a Giant AR1 and have done approx 5000k on the stock tyres ( Giant Gavin fondo 2 700x32c). What are the life expectancy on average, and what tyre should I replace them with? Is the little tread on these tyres keeping me upright or should I just buy a slick tyre? Any help appreciated !

Why is it NZ post can’t call you when they attempt to deliver a package? I’ve asked this of them before and they say don’t have tim, yet they are quite happy to attempt to deliver it multiple times and fail 🙄. I’m sure they just drop cards and don’t deliver jack shit. Work from home and pay $9 for delivery but the only way is to redirect to the post office ffs 🤦‍♂️. You’d think with apartment living becoming more and more common they’d improve there system!

I got a new bike a couple of months ago with a tubeless setup, have never used before. Clocked up about 1200 k on it and got my first puncture this morning. Sealant didn’t seal the puncture, in fact it pissed all over my bike shoes and myself, luckily I was close to home and basically came to a stop outside my apartment.

I assume I’ll need to plug the tire and get some more sealant as well. The cut in the tire is not large. Once plugged do these last or is the tire basically stuffed unless I put a tube in it?

First puncture in like four years and a complete noob with tubeless so any tips appreciated!

Where’s the best place to buy cycling shoes? Recently bought a new road bike and want to get some pedals and SPD shoes. Most stores seem to have a very limited range and I’m not overly confident I’d get the right size online!

So I grabbed an access subscription last weekend. Most of the races are like 3 Am Monday morning here in New Zealand so doubtful I’ll watch live often.

Turns out I can’t watch the replay or qualifying for 12 days, absolutely useless so upgrade to Pro via the App Store. Doesn’t work , contact support have to cancel via App Store.

Try to sub direct on .com site and use credit card can’t as access still running till 22/4 😖. Even if I choose upgrade it won’t let me continue. Contact F1 support several times still not able to give them my $100 and watch 🙄

At the beginning of the year I bought some of these and am already up as of today 50% which is great. Thought they had some growth potential and Was wanting to buy more but the price keeps going up. Doesn’t seem to be too much info on why but note a couple of insiders have bought reasonably large chunks and optimism around the fact that movie theatres are operating again. Obviously I could just keep DCA’ing in but prefer to not buy the peak! What’s everyone think of this stock?

Any advice on how to get my wahoo heart rate strap to read accurately on all my rides? I go out sometimes reads fine and then other times it will be temperamental and not read for some of the ride . I’ve seen others say on videos etc that there’s is always good, I’m always disappointed coming back from a hard effort and Strava says I completed an easy ride 😂😂
