Sydney (Newtown), How to dismount a cassette with one tool only

As usual, I like repairing stuff by myself because it’s more interesting, cheap and when it success I feel great. We are three cyclist at work and Matt lent me some tool. Unfortunately, he couldn’t find the chain whip to hold the cassette so I had to find some other solutions. The goal is to lock the cassette to be able to unscrew the nut. I’ve decided to use zip ties (cerclips) but untight the cassette requires quite a lot of power and my tiny zip ties broke very easely. The first attempt is a fail…

Sydney, cycling around the city

Another weekend, another cycling day. Yes it’s winter and the sun is bright and warm enough to stay outside onto a piece a green grass. I don’t want to imagine the temperature in summer…

Sydney (Paddington), reservoir

I’m today in Paddington to change the lens of my glasses. I must wait an hour so I decided to visit around. Paddington is, I think, a rich area. There is not any hight building, only houses. It’s situated on a hill, a perfect place to set up a Reservoir and supply water for a part of Sydney. Let’s have a look!

Sydney (Pyrmont), re-arranging the office space

The company is growing and Robb and Dave decided to organise the space differently and make the area more efficient than it is. Everyone is actually sitting in a row so we are going to change this and I proposed my help :-)

Sydney (Glebe), cycling around

Another nice weekend full of sunshine take care of Sydney during winter (maybe not for long). I’ve got no choice than cycling around again and take some souvenirs of this city. This time I’m going to Glebe. it’s situated between Pyrmont and Newtown.

Sydney (Pyrmont), Ping-pong !

I’ve already the chance to have a free swimming pool at disposition and as I found out last weekend there is a Ping pong club 10 min from where I work and on the way home, too easy :-) The guys here are good, very good. Mainly they are asian (I’m not really surprised) and play like the asian! with that wired position of the hand (like the guy with the pink shirt). I going to sweat and this is good ;-) This place is open 7 days a week, just perfect!

Sydney (Pyrmont), Lunch time

Believe it or not, it’s winter here! and… I’m gonna burn soon if I don’t come back inside to work. Yep, this is the place where I work every week since 3 weeks now. At the end of the main corridor there is some small balconies like this one where anybody can enjoy at anytime.
