#GFXCARDSTATUS INTEGRATED ONLY NOT WORKING CRACKED#
Must have been metal fatigue after the bump it took last year, but the rim is completely cracked and broken, so I just had to buy a new bike!įor some reason, at first I was taken with the idea of a belt-driven internal hub commuter, like a Gates Carbon Drive and a Shimano Alfine 8 or 11 speed, but I found them to be quite expensive, in the $1,500+ range. I took pretty good care of it, oiling the chain and pumping up the tires every other week, but last time I noticed that the back rim has finally given out. The front had a slight wobble, and the back wobbled like it was trying to escape, but I kept riding it anyway, thinking that the cost of replacing the wheels wold probably be as much as the entire bike cost. Last year sometime, I hit a small brick curb at a medium speed, and bent both rims. After being left unused all these years while working from home, by my estimates it did about 1,500 Km since starting my new job. It was only about $150, but it served me well. When we first moved back to Aus from Japan, I bought a bike from Kmart to cycle to a job I did a brief stint at.
I took my standing desk in with me, and I've also been cycling pretty much everyday, which I am absolutely loving! It's only a 10Km round trip, but it's great to have a reason to get out of the house and start the day with some really good exercise. After working from home for about 5 years, I changed lobs last year to a company that has an office where you go to do work in the same place everyday.
