  1. I think Rufus has taken care of the ones in the back garden as well...
  2. I'm stunned! What a huge loss. RIP Burry...
  3. Bumpity Bump
  4. Found a cycling computer/GPS in Tokai on Sunday 2 nd December. If it is yours and you can correctly identify it, you're welcome to come and collect it.
  5. Noticed when cycling past backed up traffic in a roadworks stop/go where the wait is approx 15 minutes, that most cars are idling! Why not turn off the engine when you have to wait this long? Saves fuel, carbon emissions etc etc. If you really need the aircon at 7am, open your window.
  6. Good thinking, go with the Trance.
  7. Hairy, I submitted the claim through my LBS but then got a call within hours from the local agent saying that they had received the claim and outlined the process from there. They (Andrea) kept me in the loop daily as to the progress of the claim and within 8 days of the initial claim the replacement frame landed from the States in Cape Town. Bike is being built NOW! Huge improvement from the previous agents...my faith in Trek has been restored.
  8. That it is Mayhem! The 2013 version.
  9. Just got this. Hope it lasts longer than the previous one.
  10. Jeez, now that is impressive! Good luck and enjoy your project. Looking forward to the progress photo's.
  11. Fuel ex 9 on it's way! Can't wait...
  12. Yup, I use the one on the left, works like a charm!
  13. I ride a MTB hardtail. Gives me options to bail onto the pavement or verge/gutter to avoid traffic, potholes, buses etc. Also the big tires are more puncture/pothole/pavement resistant than skinny road tires.
  14. Yip, that sometimes does happen - unavoidable when you're pushing the limits.... As they say "If you're not fallin, you're not learnin"
  15. What about the dudes at the crisalis academy....
  16. Aaahh! The sound of your ski carving the curtain on glassy water. Geez, I've got to get back to the dam, when is it holiday again?
  17. I'm in, may be a little late ( fetching son from cricket), but will be there as close to 1pm as possible - with a helping pair of junior hands.
  18. Very nice! I'll be cycling from the southern suburbs towards Simon's Town on my usual Thursday commute but I don't suppose there'll be any free coffee along the way
  19. Yup! That's the guy I was telling you about that I've just booked our bikes with for Sani!
  20. Ha, nice try - but you don't count. Like they say in the small print " friends and family cannot enter"
  21. Sorry for the hijack, but found a pair of glasses in Tokai this morning ( 7 October). If you lost them and can describe them to me, we can arrange to get them back to you.
  22. I see your point! Maybe the R200 odd will be worth the risk if they are so adamant that it will fit. Better than the R1000 to machine one...
