  2. Starting to sound like a when we braai…. 💋
  3. From a 59 (or is it 39) who has been there 20 yrs ago a wise chiropractor who was treating me for “one of those niggles” said something which I never forgot: “You don’t see professional sportsmen and women competing at the same level once they reach their late 30’s, mentally and physically it just becomes to much, but that does not mean they have to stop playing altogether” Slow down and relax, but never stop 🤙
  4. If you like me and did not know wtf fyt means https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fastest_known_time
  5. Leave your shoes in the garage or somewhere with plenty of fresh air, stuff them with newspaper to absorb the sweat and chuck the paper away after a day or so….do not leave them in the bedroom 😂

    SA XCO cup

    Great to see they had a live feed The bits of the track I saw looked very similar to the SA Champs +/- 2002…. Was just as dry then as well 😂
  8. Interesting, I’ve never tried onza tbh… never heard of the until a few weeks ago. my vote would go for the ikons, found them a bit heavy but bullet proof.
  9. Probably the wrong thread.....but has anyone tried the Onza Canis? ONZA CANIS Skinwall Cross Country Mountainbike Tire 29" | ONZA Tires (onza-tires.com)
  10. By hot foot what exactly do you mean? Maybe you need a personalized orthotic instead of the generic Specialized inner soles. Been there done that, struggled with burning toes and worse pain like my toes were being hit with a hammer as the ride duration increased. Specialized inners with a metatarsal bar helped fractionally, so I went to a podiatrist and had orthotics made for cycling, since then no more foot or toe pain.
  11. When a pale skinned South African male you never met before calls you “buddy” ….. Dan weet jy hier kom ***
  12. I found the Arahi’s a bit hard / stiff compared to other Hoka’s Also a pronater and quite happy with the GT2000, but then I’m only jogging a few km per week, not like some of the mega km crazies here….
  13. Wishing you all the best Chewie, may the force be wif you 👍
  14. Love that Mosquito, sexiest WW2 plane imo
  15. Kool 😁 Rules say you have to be a South African resident….. pity
  16. I’ve got 2 in my bike storage room, they must still be alive as they don’t smell like they are dead. 2004 Spez SW with xtr combined gear and brake levers 2010 Morewood Zula also with xtr I really should try find a good home for them
  17. Hey Roger i can’t help with a diet program but I would like to share what works for me…. My names Jack and I’m a sugar and food junkie who eats because it tastes nice and not because I need to eat…. yet my weight has remained +/- 4 kg constant since 1985…. In 85 I weighed 85kg, today I weighed 89kg. Your biggest weapon in the weight loss quest is a reliable bathroom scale that you use to weigh yourself EVERY MORNING at the same time. Weighing should be done just after you wake up and had your first pee, barefoot and naked (or shorts only) and BEFORE eating or drinking. The thing is to keep the time and body condition the same every time. This way you can see if your weight changes under the same conditions and take immediate action if required. Too much weight loss (< .5kg) in one day is not good (probably dehydrated), to much weight gain and the alarm bell 🛎️ should ring and you need to adjust your eating / drinking…. As an educated adult you will know why you picked up weight and shouldn’t need a dietitian or nutritional coach to tell you… just consume less. Drink more water, especially on your training rides. Energy drinks are expensive and only necessary if you plan to ride / train more than 2.5 hrs EACH DAY, Energy bars and gels… pffft the same applies, coffee and croissant stops pfffft….. it’s supposed to be a training ride…. Rather take your camera out and take photos of your mates stuffing their faces for the bikehub “where has your bike taken you” thread. Good luck
  18. The path / method of least resistance. in other words, fully extended / the least compressed
  19. Woke up my Spez Tarmac and went outdoors today instead of using the IDT. The weather is quite balmy for the middle of winter and the roads were nice and dry.
  20. Nice pics, love the sun and sea.
  21. Merry Christmas you all 🎄🤙
  22. Merry Christmas all
  23. We use an iPad app called pocket inspection at the workshop (aircraft) where I work and take pictures of any visible damage on the exterior and interior. This goes a long way to resolve “ever since you worked on it…” disputes after the aircraft leaves the workshop. These days it’s easy to take pictures and a video with time stamps of your bike when you leave it with the bike shop, and the bike shop can also do something similar as a receiving inspection to protect themselves. Good luck with your claim…..
  24. Hi Spokey, does the RAT have any noticeable affect on the aircrafts trim during flight?
