  1. Thanks a mil for the feedback guys, managed a half decent cup last night although the counter was covered in milk and water overflow from the machine when I was done . I'm looking for a milk pitcher I assume a 600ml one should be enough to make two cups of coffee? Any suggestions of places in and around Gauteng, Pretoria even better as I want to tackle this machine this week still. And how much milk should I chuck in the jug? Sorry very newbie questions
  2. Hey Cadence, I bought the coffee from the roasters and I specified that I wanted espresso grind. I'm hoping that my grind is right so I will try get a better tamper. Are there any other possible variables that I'm missing?
  3. Please help me guys. I have this old really entry level machine that I pulled out the cupboard, as I am tired of the stale pods I have recently gotten from Nespresso. I have been doing some homework and I'm struggling to pull the perfect shot. I have made a pretty decent puck and let it run for the apparent "25 sec" time but instead of a shot I almost get a cup full of burnt coffee. Any help would be great
  4. So this Vaalie is in Cape Town for the festive season, and six guys on the R44 between Strand and Gordon's Bay (across from the Caltex) threw a bmx in the road in front of my bike and then chased me throwing knives. Please help this Vaalie with a safe route in the area, I assumed all the walkers and runners on the beach front it would be a safe area. Thanks
  5. Hi guys, so I washed my shoes today and the buckle of my Fizi'k shoes has started pulling off (threads have broken) should any tailor shop be able to sew it back on or should I take it to someone to fix it properly? They are about a year old, and I need them for a race this weekend. Thanks
  6. Hi guys, I see Makro has a special on an HP Action cam for R999 with various mounts. Do any of you have any experience with it? It seems like a do-able camera and a lot cheaper than a Go-Pro especially since I'm not even sure I will use it a lot (based on many comment seen on the forums). Thanks
  7. Hi Guys, What do you use to keep track of your intervals during a ride? Is there an App for your phone you could suggest? The problem I'm having is I train at 4 different interval heart rate zones over a period or 15 min and then I repeat it 3 times. With me riding on relatively busy roads I cant always check the monitor and time as well as where I'm going. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
  8. Hi all, So I've got a kiddy trailer to drag behind my bike which has served me great till now, but as the girls are getting bigger they are just teasing each other and bothering each other inside the trailer on our rides. So I want to get those carriers that fit behind the seat but I have a Giant XTC frame that does not have the thread holes next to the bottom of the frame ( next to derailleur) to screw the carrier into. Any advice on brands or after sale part that you could suggest? Thanks
  9. Could I please get some experiences here from some people who have actually ridden a tandem before. I'm considering getting one so that the Mrs and I can go ride together. I feel that as I'm a stronger rider it would be more advantageous to ride a tandem as currently she "does not want to ride with me as I'm much stronger and she will just frustrate me" I have heard it is a make or break experience? Thanks
  10. Hi all, I have recently picked up a spiking Heart rate on my Garmin in excess of 230bpm as soon as my speed exceeds about 20km/h. The guys at Garmin guess that it's the static on my clothes. My question is then when layering in winter what do you guys use that does not cause a static issue? Thanks
  11. Yeah, they are busy cutting a trail for a new Mtb park. The opening date has not yet been confirmed but their are some guys helping out with the trails that know what they are doing so its bound to be great fun when they are done.
