  1. Hi guys I've been riding on and (mostly) off the last two years with an injury to the radial nerve in my hand, but have decided to make a proper comeback to the sport. My idea is to do some stage races and the regular stuff. I'm still riding my Bianchi Jab but want to upgrade and am not 100% what to look at. I'm about 80:20 towards Full suspension versus another Hardtail. I've got my eye on a Scott RC900 Comp, which I can pick up for R37k or so. What else in that price range will be a good idea? I'm looking for 1x12 specifically. I see that the Scott is about 12.4kg... it's certainly a bit lighter than my Bianchi (about 13 and change I think). My budget is about R40k but I still need to do tubeless and pedals then.
  2. It always is, but there are zero leads, last I heard. As to the recent violence there... I'm unaware of the murder of two suspected robbers, but the guy that had his hands chopped off, he lost his hands because he moved into another gang's business. Two people were murdered there last week as part of friction between SAffers and citizens from neighbouring conutries. As to the squatter camp in question, it's the one behind Woodlands that's the problem (as well as at the cemetary), not the one by the church so much.
  3. You can request [ask nicely] that Lt Colonel Solomons be there to accept it. Or well it's either him, or you'll have to ask that Captain Steenkamp be there.
  4. Of course it was reported. Is that what Captain Steenkamp said?
  5. Hey guys Another update from Captain Steenkamp of Garsfontein Police, as an extract from today's meeting [this does not include everything that is planned at present]
  6. They can't really have an "online shop". They're distributors
  7. Okay cool. Yeah the boundary lines are a little weird and half the cops don't know where it is, so if Steenkamp said that then I've learnt something new. (ie HS/Lynnwood road intersection, splits Silverton/Boschkop/Garsfontein areas, and no party wants to take responsibility for an accident there ) Pepper spray and a baton is a VERY bad idea as protection from someone pointing a firearm at you. Your product is also slightly overpriced.
  8. You should remember that east of Hans Strijdom and north of Garsfontein is actually in Boschkop's jurisdiction. Also, please ensure that you obtain permission from the Tshwane metro for this - the Gauteng Traffic Police are being very anal and they are situated just off Hans Strijdom so they're close by.
  9. No no, when it gets uploaded, aka used. Garmin will be able to see where it gets used.
  10. They can get flagged, and Garmin can block it. Possibly trace it if it can get a signal.
  11. Yeah well what can you do? All we know is that it's two dudes with a pistol. I reckon out of the three squatter camps and surrounds, there's going to be quite a few matching that description.
  12. Hey guys So we had a meeting with the police this morning and brought up the topic of the hijacking and attempted hijackings with Captain Steenkamp. He said he will station a vehicle in the area on Thursday nights from 18:00. Now I personally was hoping to see one a bit more often, but we only have a limited number of vehicles for the Garsfontein precinct.

  15. So it looks like there's something seriously messed up at those squatter camps now. 2 guys [squatters] were murdered there last night. We spoke to one of the guys caught for the hand-chopping, and he said that the dude was sticking his fingers into their business (ie he was a burglar, and he tried his hand at hijacking, and they didn't like it). The journalists either hid that fact, or they didn't know.
