The Drongo

Maxxis cross mark has good rolling resistance (not as good as sb8) , but better grip than smallblock 8.

Have the same frame in yellow and silver. Looks a bit more tired than that though! Remember??

Oh! I was expecting something like this..... No sweat. The more the merrier.

Kevin !! Is that you?

Yep. Barbed wire teaches lessons. Dettol in the bath water sorts all jagged rips/lacerations/grazes/etc. A thick ear if they bleed on the carpet helps...

There you go. A mothers touch. My mom was the same. "Pedal dammit!, and don't bleed on my carpets!" Well done son. Now you can escape.

Right. Was he the Swiss fella that took off through the farmland? He mighta got away with it if he had been wearing camo rather. All black?......nah! They woulda just shot him. The last part? - Reckon you should make your own juice, and not let the current wife do it for ya. Bye now. Off to fit some Schwalbe Smart Sams to the "Road" bike - no joke! I asked Sauser.

Ok. Done. What about all my White Kit, can I use that on a MTB? Or will I be sorry?

For who? Not practical for who? Sorry for you dude. Polar got that one.

Can't say. Never had one.

That reminds me! Cranks....

What was this 'fread about again??

If we was walking down the road and my dog 'pooed' on the pavemunt, my wife would be the first one with a 'handy bag' ......... over her head!

No harm chap. I am sure you did a sterling job, and that one of your fortes is NOT getting lost. My comment was largely generic.

Apparently finding ones way around a cycle park can also be tricky.

Daideron. I feel very bad for your shattered dreams there! I know what it is like to loose a superhero. Mine died when I was about 12. I cried for days (ok, a day, but you get my 'feelings' there hey?) Good.

Or better still, just leaving the gates open to let the 'stock' wander off. Or better still, leaving GU packets and tubes for them to eat. OK!! "Pro" rider and Swiss bloke, I know, they probably run "tubeless")

The only thing you got right there was the spelling of tourniquet. There was a skit once about a guy getting bit on his ass. And asking his mate to 'suck it'. :lol: Learner.

Hello firewolf. Glad to see that you are still 'normal'.

I have just spent a few days at Zimbali Coastal Forest Estate. The family thing - LUVERLY ! Monday we spent at one of the pools. All the laarnies chilling like... Then all the laarnies were commotionioning (not a real word), and vacating their loungers, and their drinks. Some were running thattaway, others were running thissaway. It was fun to watch. Although I had no idea what was going on. Then the "owner" of the gazebo that was attracting all the attention started throwing his t-shirt up into the rafters. So his wife/girlfriend left her lounger. Then his son did the same. Then his t-shirt didn't come down. Then some of the barmen came down to see what was wrong. The two, more tanned ones, immediately ran away. Two stayed nodding and pointing, and looking SERIOUS. Now I could not leave the pool, as I was in charge of my 2+ year old who wants nothing to do with those water-wing things, and is constantly intent on escaping my grasp so that he can drown himself. So I sent a runner. Small cousins are handy for this sort of thing. The runner came back and informed me that the men said it was a Green Mamba, and it was eating the Geckos. ( The First Clue, right there) The bald guy was now throwing the wife/girlfriends t-shirt at it. She didn't seem impressed . It had fancy gold writing on, it also didn't look like Mr Price price. So I sent the runner back to tell them it was more likely a Boomslang. A little less deadly, but it could still bring a salty tear to the eye. He did. The bald guy stopped throwing the expensive looking t-shirt. The barmen and another bloke shook their heads, and their hands, at "The Runner" and looked SERIOUS. The runner came back and told me they "know what we were talking about, go back to your mother!" I was hoping at this stage that the t-shirt-throwing-bald-guy and his entourage would vacate the gazebo so that we could claim it, as we only had umbrellas. He didn't. He started tossing flipflops. By now I was tiring of holding onto the ankle/arm/ear of the 2+ year old. So I left the 'safety' of the pool,with the 2+ year old, and strolled over to introduce the t-shirt-throwing-bald-guy to The Spotted Bush Snake. Which DOES eat Geckos. The 2+ year old kept saying "tuchshittuchshittuchshit" . The bald guy didn't look too convinced, but he eventually reclined and told his son to retrieve his t-shirt. The wife/girlfriend eventually came back. The snake looked thankful. The large lady had finished dragging her recliner to the other side of the pool. The bald guy didn't even offer me a beer. Personally, I wish it had been a GM. I woulda given its tail a sharp tug before returning to the pool to continue with the drowning lessons. Oh, and 660, Night Adder snake - that is tautology.

Yes. To differentiate between REAL mountainbikers and Roadies disguised as such. I WIN, I WIN.... :clap:

Well, you will need your hands free. So I suggest, if you are alone and unaided, that you find a fairly sturdy wall. Grasp your tape measure in your favoured hand. Lie on the floor with your backside against the wall, and your legs lying vertically on it. Now, provided your abs are in good trim, start pushing the rest of your body up the wall until you are finally on your head. Now that the wall is supporting you, pull the tape out to 50-59cm, whichever is your preference. Note: If your memory is not to good, you may have to turn your laptop/tablet/phone upside-down to continue with the instructions. May I ask why you would want to measure anything on your head?

Agree with you 100% mate. My question is - Why? Why if most service providers have a website with CONTACT US, is that not used FIRST. Maybe Slow is onto something about the big corporates, and I do have to agree, but this is largely because (for some reason) most seem to make themselves difficult to contact. (tried phoning MTN SP lately??) So yes, they should then be contacted publicly, it is a principle that seems to work with Government inefficiencies too, and I believe this is because there is a Corporate Responsibility, and not an Individual responsibility to handling complaints, ie: no particular individual wants to/can act personally, and the Corporate entity is too large to hear a 'little' voice. So, there are merits. But often small Individually run companies, who are already struggling are irresponsibly/deliberately dissed without first being given the opportunity to remedy the issue. We just need to remember that before we complain. But this form of media - The Big Voice - is certainly making life interesting. I know it is certainly doing so from a linguistic point of view!

Oh hell! Is it that time of the year again?? That means I have to fight my way through their (spider)web site again. ***shall procrastinate... Edit: CSA that is. Not ROAG - ROAG rocks!!

Fair comment.
