  1. D'Arcs have launched a new range which are pretty cool, the Aura (HD) lenses are great. I have glasses from Oakley, 100% and D'Arcs and they are all pretty much of the same quality.
  2. Had the exact same issue. The "repair" is actually a new unit, R4k isn't bad considering the instinct was R2k. Make sure you are charging your device in a 1.2A low voltage output (your laptop works well here), this is what killed my battery and I'm sure it is probably the case with yours too. Sucks that they do not make this clear on the box etc. or supply a proper charging base with it.
  3. With Omnico. Your LBS will need to order from them.
  4. Tektro T850 & T851 is what is in stock.
  5. Any bike shop would be able to order for you from Omnico, if they have an account. The chances of getting before the weekend are slim considering it is Friday...
  6. 7x Solar + Sapphire will apparently retail at R19 499.
  7. They left out the part where she went up next to the car and bike after this and asked if she was on the right route and they ensured her that everything was fine.
  8. This new route is going to be uphill for +-40km and then downhill for +-40km. Quite disappointed but I guess nothing we can do. Can't imagine how people must feel that have already booked accommodation in PMB...
  9. It didn't last very long... so it was damn good!
  10. A friend sent some gifts for my coffee corner back from Girona. A nice ACME cup & saucer and the best smelling coffee that I’ve ever smelt. Smells so good that I don’t even want to use it.
  11. We bought a house so I am finally able to plumb in my machine as we have designed our own kitchen. The first picture; what it looks like below the sink, second picture; the line supplied with the machine. Anyone in the know of what else is needed? I assume I can run an adaptor so there is two lines off the cold tap. I will run an in-line water filter.
  12. Impossible… Bikes are only landing in September (I think).
  13. Ryder lights have a lifetime guarantee, so if the battery dies - get your local bike shop to do a returns form with Omnico and it will get replaced. I've ridden with a few of them in the rain with no issues. Even wash my bike with the thing on sometimes. Actually, one went to the bin after my puppy found it charging. Garmin Varia/Radar works with Wahoo, if i'm not mistaken.
  14. The unit is compatible with any ANT+/Bluetooth HRM, Speed or Cadence sensor. However, your LBS should be able to order the Xoss HRM, Speed/Cadence sensor (it can be used as either, so if you want both, you'll need two units if you don't want to use the GPS Speed).
  15. Ordered last Thursday at 4pm, had a tracking number within minutes. Order arrived on Monday morning. Quick and painless.
  16. Chat to Clive @ Dura Cycles, Rob @ Saddle & Shack or Mo @ Bobby’s cycles. They should be able to assist with ride groups down the coast.
  17. Have an order from them being delivered today. Got sent a tracking number 20 minutes after I ordered, and that was close to 5pm.
  18. I've shared the details in a PM. There's an Apartmento with the same grinder available still ;-)
  19. Massive upgrade from my Breville... Bluebird Roastery - Kilimbi Lot 6.
  20. My new setup. Had a budget, almost pulled the trigger on a machine and the seller decided to sell it to his friend instead, so back to square one. Then this popped up, at a pretty good deal and couldn’t turn it down. Budget got blown out the window, but we don’t share that with the other half.
  21. That looks like Mellow Velo in Broadacres.
  22. Just bought a house, so don’t think the transferring attorneys will be too stoked when I tell them there isn’t cash to pay them but I can pay them in good coffee, or maybe they will be ????
  23. Cool, seen the Lelit's, like the look of them. Just out of my budget including the grinder. After a HX or Dual boiler. Not too phased about that. Just can't be an eye-sore, otherwise I'm in the dog box. Have an Expobar on offer, at a decent price, just waiting to get all the details from the guy. Will check out Facebook too. Thanks. Been offered a Rancilio Rocky grinder for a decent price, are these good or should I rather save for a Eureka Specialta?
  24. If It’s a factory fault, they will replace them. If there is no stock, that is a different issue.
  25. Given myself an itch that needs to be scratched, looking to upgrade my machine. Currently have a Breville Barista express with built in grinder. So will need a grinder as well. It has been suggested to me to look at the Eureke Mignon grinder. Is there anything else I should look at? In terms of machine, I have found a used Expobar Brewtus, Used Isomac Tea and used Rancilio Classe 5 - are these any good or should I rather carry on saving and buy new? If anyone has a decent and aesthetically pleasing grinder or machine they wanting to get rid of, in my price range, please let me know. Budget is around R25k+- all in.
