Did a few loops there Sunday morning , nothing seen or heard .

NO

Got some very nice Alu ones from Accorn fasteners . They are such a perfect fit that you don't even see them .

Go big or go home .

But not so sure about the SS rigid for this year !

And I am lucky enough to be a member of all of the most popular Stereotype groups around . When the biker got shot , I was also a hooligan biker , when a cyclists behaves like and idiot , I am also an Idiot , when a runner kicks a dog , I am also a dog hater bla bla bla . Anyway what this "gang" did was stupid and they must be held accountable .

And will there be lots of sand , rocks , roots , dung beetles on your trail .

There NO replacement for a good pomp .

And just because it is Monday : Many disc brake pads are available in different compounds Medium Compound Also known as Compound S (Medium) Containing metal and graphite for long wear. Great for muddy conditions, and a good choice in all conditions. A medium compound with consistent wet performance and good grip. Advantages: Cheap, Above average all around performance Disadvantages: Grippier and longer lasting pads are available Suitable For: Everything Conclusion: Best Value Superlight WorldCup Competition Alu Backed Pads use the medium compound. Professional Grade Black Ceramic Compound Also known as Compound C (Ceramic Pro) These soft organic ceramic fiber disc brake pads are carbonized. The ceramic compound insulates the brake system from friction heat up to 400oC. The result is a very powerful, quiet pad with extremely low heat generation which all but eliminates the chances of brake fade. Details Upgrade on original fitted pads DIN 79100 Standard Approved Organic Compound contains no metal material Reduces damage to rotor Carbonized compound reduces brake fading Ceramic Fiber insulates brake system from friction heat Non-Asbestos Advantages: Excellent grip, Low noise, Low heat, Consistent in all conditions Disadvantages: Short life span unless rider is light on brakes Suitable For: DH, Dry XC, Ti Rotors Conclusion: Best Performance, Short Life Metallic Sintered Also known as Compound T (Sintered) Superior power in all conditions Long wear pads, great for DH or XC Consistent braking power in the wet Almost unaffected by rain and snow Advantages: Better performing and longer lasting than most pads Disadvantages: More expensive than medium pads Suitable For: XC, DH (low brake use), All weather conditions, Mud Conclusion: Best All Rounders Red Ceramic Compound - Hard Also known as Compound D (Ceramic Hard) Harder than ordinary pads. This is the highest density, hardest, ceramic compound for ultimate performance and the longer lifetime. These organic disc brake pads contain a high amount of ceramic fiber, which insulate the brake system from friction heat up to 400oC. Advantages: Better performing and longer lasting than medium pads Details Upgrade on original fitted pads DIN 79100 Standard Approved Organic Compound contains no metal material Reduces damage to rotor Carbonized compound reduces brake fading Ceramic Fiber insulates brake system from friction heat Non-Asbestos Advantages: Longer lasting than Black Ceramic pads Disadvantages: More expensive than Black Ceramic pads and not as grippy Suitable For: XC, DH (low brake use) Conclusion: Ceramic Advantages with Longer Life Other Factors Low Noise: The black ceramic compound C is thought to be virtually silent DH: Black Ceramic pads are great for Downhill as the ceramic compound insulates the calliper pistons from heat build up so reducing the likelihood of brake fade. Rotors: All of these compounds can be used with any rotor. Ceramic pads cause less damage to rotors than metallic compound pads. Titanium Rotors: We recommend black ceramic compound for titanium coated rotors, as it contains no metal, so will reduce damage to the rotor. The coating on titanium plated rotors is extremely thin (often just a few microns), so will ultimately wear off no matter what pad you use, but ceramic pads will prolong their life over pads containing metal.

A truck and trailer is Class C . These clever turkeys sends a bill for Truck (class B) and another bill for a trailer (Class C) . Horse and trailer got different number-plates and the combination changes almost daily , i.e a trailer will not always be pulled by the same trailer . It's been almost 3 months now and they still cannot sort this out , so it is better to remove the tags as the discounted non-tagged rate will be cheaper than the double rates you paying .

Really I cannot believe people drink Brandy/Rum with Pepsi ! What is happening to this world ? But my take on it would be Coke - diluted with your favorite mix , never consume pure coke , it is bad for you Coke Light - To be taken after you had two McDonalds Burgers and Chips , a large slice of cheese cake and a packet of crisps . Water - With whiskey most of the times but may be diluted with apple juice for big races .

Pro's : No gears Con's : No gears

10km NO License needed .

SS country .

R35k - Hospital bill .

Now I understand why not many people enter this event . IT is not for woozies !!! But what an awesome event , we had a jol and the Hound & Hare pub also did not disappoint .

Holding my bikes by the seat post with the Tork , no problem

Epic also nice shop to visit .

The rubbers on the bike grip tend to fall off , some silicone did the trick on mine .

It is a personal thing , I never go anywhere without mine . I also know people who know somebody whose brother swore that if he did not wear his brace when he went into the back of that Sanral bakkie he would have broken his neck . . And it takes the strain of my neck on long rides as the helmet now rests on the brace and I just luv that bit .

Yip apparently he open his garage to go for a cycle , saw his water bottle was still inside , ran in to fetch it and 5 minutes later his bike was gone out of the garage . So they/it must have jumped over the fence , entered the garage and take off with the bike !

No they stole all my bikes last year Feb already . This brothers new bike

White , black and Blue frame White and Black Sella Italia saddle XT wheelset Carbon Stem and Handlebars White chunky grips Stolen yesterday afternoon in the Eldoriagne area Centurion . No photo's .

Is it possible that he took the wrong turnoff unintentionally ? At a USN race last year I finished with the front dudes on my SS

Good for you !! Some people got no respect for other peoples property .
