Well Done JD, looks ready for the SSWC2012

Nice one Ben, looks stunning (i still reckon that fork has my name on it for one day when you decide to move on, :-) ), good luck for DM tomorrow, you planning to do it on the 650B setup?

What Weather can do to aircraft on the ground.

Another one, although a load less details and a much lighter plane (lol, by a few tonnes) http://www.wimp.com/parkedaircraft/

Man I should've rotated that before i sent it, :-), All clear now, seems the SAPS negotiators have some skills, lets hope the guy gets some help.

How far is three feet? Well, it's pretty impractical to hang a measuring tape out of your window. So what is the solution? The KaleCoAuto Friendly Cat's Paw. Simply attach the clamp side to your bicycle and extend the telescoping Cat's Paw. This extends to exactly 2ft 11 and 7/8ths inches. If a motorist passes too close, the spring-loaded Cat's Paw will gently brush the paint of the vehicle and emit a high pitched squealing sound as the (user replaceable!) friendship-blades run across the paint! The motorist will know immediately they are too close, and give you a friendly wave. Whew! Accident avoided. Another KaleCoAuto product that makes sharing the road safer and more fun!* Weight Weenies: Only 113 grams! *Not for use with pedestrians.

Oh no, that does not sound good???????? (call me in the morning) Havent done a night ride for some time now, actually have not been on a bike since the opening of Thaba Trails and the birth of the little one, seriously need to start getting back into it, even if its just for the night rides .

Sunglasses missing a lens, must've fallen out with the fork...

CWC have some nice specials at the mo, #justsaying :-)

That is AWESOME, hope she gives you many safe and happy miles.

AMT near ORT has all the cloth and resins you will ever need, :-) http://www.amtcomposites.co.za/

That said there seems to be 2 other trends that I've noticed, both selling and buying via the classifieds, there are users that will reply to an ad saying things like "Dibs, I'll take it" or "Please hold it for me, I'll confirm collection ASAP" and then never respond which means the sale gets held for that user potentially for weeks. Secondly thing when buying (at least attempting to) is hubbers who will sell items with no consideration of who responded.

Last night's turn out was awesome, sure there must have been at least 30+ people riding, split up into 2 main groups, :-) Turns out that its a really good idea to make sure your batteries are sufficiently charged before going out, at one stage I was riding with what seemed to be a mini Bic lighter strapped to the front, not so cool, thanks to those in front and behind me for keeping the trail lit up though. Anyone know where we can find out more details about the night racing series? race times, rules, costs etc?

As well as excellent experience for the 24hr, :-) The Thursday night rides are a blast, seeing as there are no other riders out there is the opportunity to do tracks that are not normally done as well as changing directions etc (what was a hectic climb can quite easily become a awesome drop off, ;-)) Standard entry to the park of R20 at the gate (alternatively you can buy a card with 10 entries for R150 i think) Correction, its R25 entry payable at the shop and not at the gate.

Had the opportunity to ride with some friends on Wednesday and did the new section for the second time, I still had to walk one or 2 of the steep sections due to the previous evening's rain but on the whole we had an awesome morning. The new section has definitely added a new "twist" to that side of the park, thank you very much for all the effort that went into setting it up, :-)

tooo slow

Lol, between the 9'ers wanting all the bling and tech and the SS'ers wanting the simplest options us 26'ers dont stand a chance, :-)

Oops, didnt see there was a specific commuting thread, thanks Admin, :-). Just found another cool idea, although, I'm not sure if these guys have heard about South African's using their eye sockets / teeth / any other body part to open beer: http://www.boingboing.net/2011/04/08/bike-seat-clamp-with.html

This would be an awesome solution for parking bikes if it were to ever become reality: fastcodesign Come to think of it, I know a few people that would benefit by having one of these installed at their house.

soon?

We need rules... :-) Starting price, bid increments and closing time should be listed, ;-)

R250

next Deal?

Agreed, I don't have a torque wrench but its "tight", :-) may need to take it past the LBS and put the torque wrench to it and check.

I've always wondered what the strength comparison is of Centre-lock vs 6-bolt, I find my CL's creak, especially at the back when i first start applying the brakes. What are the chances of a CL rotor slipping / stripping out the splines?
