  1. I like BRICS in The Wall much better.
  2. Both the above are very good at what they do. I had frames restored and sprayed by both.
  3. What the Buff guy and the Mongoose says
  4. Ha ha, yes, that looks totally ploasib....pluasibl.....plaasibil....... (I grew up in a part of the world where people only use English in self defence.)
  5. You need MUCH skinnier tyres if you want it to feel like ZA
  6. Good answer👍
  7. I suggest that the authorities deal with cars caught skipping red traffic lights in the same manner. Come to think of it, cars used by drunk drivers also. It will solve those two problems plenty quickly.
  8. Please understand that I'm no defender of the New Defender............but see the front end damage........that was a dune jump that ended with the cars soft plastic nose in the sand.........possibly airbags deployed....... mostly caused by idiot, I mean inexperienced, drivers flying over the crest of a dune waaaaay too fast.
  9. Past Woodbridge Island - AKA The Cape Riviera - while the mountain played hide & seek!
  10. Ai tog, I'm so sloooow......only now the penny dropped ..........in slow motion. I should have know purely from the distances you cover alone who this "new" Lynskey guy is!
  11. Already heading for the KIDS DIY section I see.....👍
  12. SKERP
  13. Good thing you said "helicopter" 👍 .......I was getting jealous about your jumping 😜
  14. Respect to any and all Capies who went out riding this weekend.
  15. The ONLY flat you'll ever get in that place, is exhausted, flat on your bed at night. BIG mountains with BIG climbs, but so beautiful. Was there in April (for the fishing) and already the night time temperatures started to bite.
  16. That's very late for a Friday, in Cape Town at least. Here the Friday afternoon rush hour starts at 1pm.
  17. What's a thread if it cannot be derailed? This is BikeHub, we meander like on a lazy exploratory ride.
  18. Believe it or not, people made popcorn well before the invention f the microwave oven ......... yes, I know, I date to those prehistoric times.🤪
  19. It's like I'm a very bad psycic 🤪
  20. Solar water geysers tend to function very poorly in extremely cold environments like the Kalahari in winter. Despite the abundence of sunshine, the very common below zero night time temperatures (often to -5 and occasionally down to -10 or worse) tend to kill the solar water systems. I would also rather use gas or diesel in that part of the world, at least in winter. Gas is tricky with tourists and people who don't know how to operate with it, leaving diesel as a good option. In summer you can shower cold, rather, a cold shower is essential with 30+ daily temperatures (often 40+). In autumn and spring solar geysers could work well there. Perhaps one of the engineer types can elaborate?
  21. If you could only know how much trouble it was and how long it took to get SANParks to approve putting up signs funded by Tokai MTB at the start of the single tracks in Tokai. Dozens of meetings, negotiations, specifications, sizes, colour, lettering, baboon proofing, no sponsor names, no advertising ....... YEARS! Just to get a few very small signs to prevent mtbikers from getting lost. But then, maybe if it brings in money, it will be quicker?
  22. Ha ha, Paarl stuff gets delivered to Vredendal in 60 minutes
