I always fold with basetape on basetape, rather than basetape on tread.
like here.

everyone's favourite curmudgeon agrees too.

Hahaha yeah NZers can't take criticism, it's true.
Bear in mind that not all the country is like Dunedin. It's like judging England on just Newcastle.
Food in Auckland and Wellington is really good, with lots of cheap places to eat as well as excellent fancier places.
Supermarket food is more expensive than the UK except red meat is cheaper (and better). Quality is pretty good but Euro deli type stuff (like mortadella and roquefort) is expensive.
The rent isn't cheap though. -

I've been using my 38mm farsports tubs for about a year now.
They've been great, and I've ridden them over all sorts of shit, gravel roads etc.
There's a slight pulse when braking but it's a long way from being a problem.
Hubs have been fine too, they were delivered slightly dry of grease but easily sorted. -

Maybe they're out riding their bikes because their running gear is nice and reliable?
