  1. YES. The first thing the AIA is doing and working on is getting ride of those types of issues. The rest will come. But like Leon the one person said to me the yneed people to report these guys otherwise they can't do nothing. They can't walk up to you and force you to report the person.
  2. Problem is 10 panels add 200-300kg. Your roof must be strenthened and determined by an engineer. Because it not just the weight but also fire risk. And also the wind load speed. I'm not saying you don't know hoe to make sure it's strong enough. It's about protecting yourself legally should something go wrong.
  3. @TheoG. Its not made public BY NPA. yet that's part of the fight the guys are fighting to get done. Education is very important. I do know of 2 electricians who has to fix stuff for free after issuing a COC that non compliant
  4. Battery regs have always been there. It has just been ignored. Trolley inverter not actually allowed in house or to run your main house from it same with generator installs. There is important stuff like earthing bonding etc. And oat installation it's not done. There are guys working very hard to get the whole industry fixed, specifically electrical. It will take time but there is already alot happening like insurance who doesn't pay it things go wrong. PS you as non electrician is not allowed to technically touch electricity. But ja baby steps.
  5. I will get you a contact on it
  6. If you report said sparky. The have to fix for free.
  7. Makes sense my dad slipped an fell with last year sani2c broke femur in 2 places and it was close to the start. Race done you out. 8 days to much for me. I would only do 2 maybe 3 days. It's expensive and I'm not rolling in money. Will probably only do 1-2 per year and then 1 day races
  8. There has been a few cases already. It not policed by government but independent bodies. Who then hand it over to NPA. There has been 3 prosecutions as far as I remember
  9. Components I can't advise. But price. I always look what I think is reasonable and also compare to new price of item as well as what others ask for same item
  10. Does this relate to dual sus because my HT is medium. A d I'm 1.63. But I habe normal upper body but short legs
  11. I bought a set 4.years ago for 1500 was basically new. But not. Brand new. Incl cassette. I always see fair as 60% of new unit price. But then again the price is what you make it and willing to accept. And what the Interested party is willing to pay
  12. So I started clearing up on the plot and my son's and daughter decided to ride the "trails" before I'm done and now I'm minus 2 20inch tubes.
  13. How tiring is a stage race vs for example a day race
  14. You have a very good point about Admin part Setting up camp with kids is real work
  15. Thanks. Epic I will never pay that. For that money. I go up on Africa amd do a nice holiday.
  16. I attached a part of sans 10142 which is what all electrical must comy to incl solar. There are new things coming cas I said. So not everything out there is set in Concrete except what is Witten currently. And the current sans needs to be adhered to. And sans say battieres are not safe(specifically lead acid and gel.) there was a family last year whose kids lungs burned Die to the setup being wrong and batteries releasing gas. And not sufficient ventilation. The person wat trialed licence taken and prison for 1 year I think. Also came out that its supposed to be in a flame retardant room. I'm asking the one I know about the draft part of the sans you mentioned
  17. A word of caution to those DIYING batteries and inverters etc. There are big things coming. You need to have a proper qualidfied electrician do it. Must have an IE license. If not and something goes wrong no insurance claim. And batteries must be in. A fire proof room like garage. Not house. Solar panels the roof needs to be strengthened ( approved by engineer) the house electrical must have a coc that is valid otherwise this needs to be brought up to date. It is the user or lessers responsibility to make sir etje installation is legal. So you as responsible as the installer. If someone dies and you did not make sure the installation is legal you can be held responsible. Such says the law. That is why you need a proper electrician to do it. Most solar installers are not legally installing solar. And unfortunately you as the owner is responsible. So please make sure you use proper installation companies that are approved by the department of labour. The will have. A licence card. Im part of a group that has inspectors on it including AIA. Be warned Attached is a doc from ECA
  18. Good day. I was wondering who takes the family with the camping gear to stage races and make it a fun weekend out of it. Even if they don't race themselves. Or is it to daunting and exhausting to raced that you just want to sleep after the races. Also are stages races family friendly
  19. Hi. I'm looking for a 24" or 26"bike thats not in use for my neighbors kid. My kids will be cycling to school from next week. It's 5km. This girl gets a lift with us in the morning. She's quite big and tall for a 12 year old and I'm guessing 14m +. I need something OK. And that's currently in relative condition. I can keep it serviced through the year. Her mom asked since they can't afford one. So if you have one lying around let me know. Pretoria area. This is north of Pretoria but I can travel all over pta. Thanks
  20. I drove 50k according to Google. Not bad better than the previous year.
  21. Well 2033 I'm not doing anything yet. Haven't planned that far. But next year I'm doing the trailseeker series with my son all 4 the amashova with my dad and thinking about a stage races. Depending on funds. But the berg and bush looks interesting
  22. Bought my self some day and night glasses
  23. I agree with you. But not just biking industry. But even cars, houses etc
  24. I was telling my wife same thing. But then it's only cyclelab with that price
