Yup, my watch and spectacles regularly go in there. And when I'm older and my teeth of the removable type, they'll go in there too.

Nou's ek sommer van voor af die donner in. Daai woord "ou" voor vleisie of geldjie. Ek vang sommer 'n ou kakkie slangetjie.

'skuus juffie, ek sal nie weer nie.

Have some fun with it first. Chuck in a piece of aluminium foil from your lunch pack. Switch it on and watch it turn into confetti. Then go to Wiki and understand what's going on in there. Generally, it can't clean thick grease or packed-on oil. However, it is great for getting other types of dirt out of nookies and crannies.

Ha, uitgevang. Poppie

Wat is dit met 'n klas/soort/spesie van Afrikaanssprekende vrouens om die verkleiningsvorm te oorgebruik? Ek: Ek wil 'n rekening oopmaak met julle maatskappy. Sy: "Ek stuur vir jou 'n vormpie dan vul jy dit asb in met jou addressie en foonnommertjie. Dan as ons dit als het sal ons die pakkie by jou kom haal. Maat net seker dat die vormpie voorop vasgeplak is." Ander geval: Ek: Hey Koos, kom ons braai. Koos: "Ja dit sal lekker wees om so 'n ou vleisie op die vuurtjie te sit en af te sluk met 'n biertjie. Die vroutjies kan vir ons 'n slaaitjie maak." Ek maak sommer my broekie vuil.

Ja, I've always wondered about those discs. They are supposed to be floating discs but I've never come across any that actually move. Now I've been proved wrong but came to the conclusion that it is a bad idea if they do rattle.

Seats are supposed to be comfortable. Saddles by definition imply a bumpy ride and some bruising.

Very easy. Turn your bike upside down and create a guide of sorts - use presstick, pegs, sellotape, whatever. Rule no 1: Only tighten spokes, never loosen. Why? Spokes cannot tighten themselves but they can come loose. Thereofore you only correct what went wront, not creating new issues. Rule no 2: Tighten spokes opposite to the bulge. In other words, you are always pulling the bulge back. Rule no 3: if there is a dent (the opposite of a bulge, not real dent), then you change your perspective and view it as a bulge on the other side and refer to rule no 2:.

Screw all this friendly stuff. If I have to greet every cyclist I pass on the roads I'll have a sore throat after each ride. I have a hard enough time ignoring all the friendly car guards, nevermind other cyclist. Stop this gratuitous greeting before it spills over to joggers, motorists and pretty girls.

Nope, it is bicycle-specific. However, it is a very, very common bicycle part made by 1001 bicycle parts manufacturers. R60 a pop at any bike shop. For those interested in history, this 36/35 bearing was the first headset cartridge bearing that changed the way bike headsets worked. The patent expired two years ago and suddenly even the Americans think it is a good idea. They (Chris King and company) refused to license it and plowed ahead with a rubbish press-fit system until the patent expired. Now suddenly it is an excellent idea and their headsets use it.

Anecdotal evidence seldom probes anything. We listed the reasons Eastons are inferior wheels to others and that remains. Four spokes over that distance is dismal. Wheels can be built to have spoke life way beyond the life of the hubs and rims.

No Chris, this is not the marketing section or the ethics section of The Hub, it is Tech Q&A section. We gave reasons why those are rubbish wheels and it has nothing to do with loyalties, grey imports or jealosy. They are rubbish wheels for the reasons stated.

The script on the blue shirt is superflous. Anyone who doesn't get it shouldn't be allowed to look at my chest. The other one is kinda cool. Choice of colours?

The CSA are a bunch of dipshits.

Rubbish wheels. Poor seals on the hubs, rubbish spokes, lots of proprietary parts.

NIce fix, but how on earth did you get an allen key in the chuck to turn it down?

They are sieves. I also have problems with those. Eventualy the Stan's sorts them out but what a mission!

No. They are poorly designed and engineered. They will always feel like squashing a plastic bag of mieliepap.

Brake bleeding is not a panacea for all braking problems. The OP described a very common Avid brake binding problem, you suggested he removes air from the system. I have no doubt that dozens of people on this forum have been discouraged by advice like this.

Nokkit Fe! Ek het self gewonder wat dit beteking. Wat 'n poepol.

I have done this a couple of times and have the kits. Contact me if Fairlands area is convenient for you johanatyellowsaddledotceeodotzeda

Aag nee man Cassie! Die lewe is te kort vir sulke schemes. Gee die goed terug vir jou arme kinners en was jou ketting nou behoorlik in 'n bakkie Prepsol nadat jy dit afgehaal het. Jy het mos 'n quick lilnk aan of hoe dan? 10 uit 10 vir die Castrol.

Your chain is siff, but you know that. Looks like a faulty link to me and this is certainly rare, but serious enought to remind everyone else that carrying spares is something that saves walking.

It isn't as complicated as a chain and lock that you have to either sling over your shoulder Hell's Angels style or wrap around your bike where it can scratch the paint off. It mounts either on the seatpost facing backwards or, inside the main triangle on the seat tube, facing forwards (in other words centered between your legs). To me it looks like the two loops do one and the same thing. It could have been one broad loop or, two smaller ones. It seems like you have a ratchet of sorts there on the loops that lock with the allen screw you mention? Try that or post multiple photos.
