It contains:
Their website gives no details are who they are, and I haven't heard/seen one installed anywhere else.
If you are based in Perth, and need spare tube, gas canisters, bike lock, even lights, etc then this is located at 40 The Esplanade, entrance from the lower public car park.
You can check out our bike cages whilst there.

Pretty broad range of things there - CrankBros tools and Knog lights.

Worzel, what bike do you ride? always trying to put BNA faces to a name especially if they're in the same building as me!worzel wrote:We have one in the secure Ride & Park compound of Central Park, though last time I looked it was almost empty.

I recently upgraded from my "undercoat grey" Cell SS2200 commuter bike and now have a blue Malvern Star Oppy C4. I wear a couple of Cell Bikes tops.

They are Blinder Road 3, price $95. For a small fee I can be your personal shopper.vinski wrote:Very interested in the price of the Knog lights...any chance you can see if they have the Blinder Road 3 and the price? Just the next time you walk past.
Thanks!!
There were other questions how they compared to LBS, last thing I purchased from LBS were tubes which ranged from $7 up to "thanks mate, but I'm not paying that for a tube". The ones in the vending machine are $8. I personally don't think you can compare, for example, I can purchase a can of coke from vending machine for one price, and purchase from supermarket for an other. There is also the easy factor of this is in my building, and if I'm ok with the price (even if it is more expensive) then I will purchase, rather going to the LBS, or waiting x-weeks for the online order. And if I don't like the price, then I look elsewhere.
It will be interesting to see how often it is used, and restocked, shame that the Central Park one is not stocked, but is also in a secure area, so maybe the supplier is having issues getting in. Ours is in a general public area, so anyone can access it when the car park is open (Mon -Fri)

So I think they're great for those essential need now items, not sure about lights and some of the other things that you could probably wait and go to a store / online to buy.

$95 for the Blinder Road 3 is cheaper than buying from Knog direct! Wiggle has it for just over $80 but for the convenience of having them now i think ill just pop on over during my lunch break and get them. They are definitely handy for when you need something right then and there like when you run out of tubes!

The things that are right under your nose. I ride past this store several times a week. Never knew the machine existed. Handy to know, thanks for that!neild wrote:There is one of these at the Masters store in Melbourne on Toorak Rd. It was a godsend one morning a while ago when I was close by. Got a flat, the valve failed on my spare tube and the stick on patches I had to try to fix the original tube kept failing. I was probably doing something wrong but after changing the tyre 4 times I was glad I was within walking distance to buy another tube. Around $10 I think but saved my day as I was still around 15km from work.
So I think they're great for those essential need now items, not sure about lights and some of the other things that you could probably wait and go to a store / online to buy.
