  1. No, not bad at all. Tires, it seems, are a bit of a fashion statement. I remember when the ibex first arrived everyone thought they were amazing. It's been a while since I last used a Ibex but I remember them being pretty good.
  2. Wolfgang in Woodstock is pretty good. He and his partner, Robert (who is based in Durbanville) run a business called xtractIT. DM me for contact details. Reasonable, quick, close and no issues with work.
  3. The specials/Winehouse version is amazing! Roddy radiation is one of my favourites. Today's song of the day though... https://youtu.be/BFkYoT5Gezo

  6. Started season two of 'The Boys' this evening. What a great show.
  7. Thanks for confirming that. I've been using the citric acid, I'm not even sure if my machine has any aluminium parts!
  8. I'm no help here, but very interested as to why you wish to avoid citric acid. I ask as I'm about to descale my machine with citric acid! I have about 50kgs of the stuff!
  9. So while out on my bike yesterday I was thinking about my pre-ride coffee. First cup was made using a 6 cup induction moka pot and the second was made using a 3 cup standard aluminium moka. Definitely find I prefer the stainless steel induction one, although the other one is also good. Got me thinking, does anyone else have a preferred moka pot? Also, how do you make yours?
  10. R126 on an R80k bike! That's the lowest premium I think I've ever seen. Is that comprehensive cover? Who is the insurer?
  11. Best cover ever, Led Zeppelin's Stairway to heaven. Much better than the Spirit version.
  12. My previous combo was plenty grippy and still pretty fast. Maxxis aggresso front and back. 2.5 up front and 2.25 rear. EXO casing as a compromise between weight and confidence over sharp rocks.
  13. Although I'm biased as a fan of old Japanese motorcycles, that is probably the most beautiful bike I've ever seen. Drool.
  14. I've got a hario, never use it. It takes about 3 hours to grind enough for a single espresso... Is this normal, or am I doing it wrong?
  15. If you like New Balance, try the Hierro 5s. I tried the summit koms and the hierros, found the latter a far better fit. Been very happy with them, in their 10th month and no issues. For me, a heavy runner, who runs the most technical trails, 10 months is exceptional.
  16. Px200 was R35 000, I couldn't get a price for the 150 sprints which is my preference (in the absence of the 180 super sport). I paid R35k a year agofor my low mileage 2007 bmw dakar for comparison.
  17. Factory Road, Salt River. I was on my way to Buco and stopped when I saw all the Vespas! Didn't make it to Buco...
  18. Thought I found heaven today... Then I took one for a spin. I've always had a thing for Vespas, Ive owned two 150 sprints, and loved them. But having ridden motorcycles for the past 20 something years there is no way I could go back to Vespa!
  19. I get a similar mileage, probably 500 to 600km. I'm currently using new balance hierro v5, got them in November 2019 and probably got a month left. Very happy with them and 9 months for a pair of trail shoes for me is really good!
  20. Definitely! Great idea. I did the gone2gone 'race' this past weekend. CBD to constantia following a route over Table Mountain. Sometimes your running shoes do take you places! Anyone elso doing this 'event'?
  21. Dunno if it's better, but different for sure! Charles Bradley covers Black Sabbath's 'Changes'
  22. I'm a trail runner, never had this problem before. On the mountain there's a toilet under every rock... Since level 4, however, I've started hitting the tar, and enjoy it! Three I've been caught out with this problem. On two occasions I popped into my brothers' houses and the other I had to shortcut home. It's not fun!
  23. I must say, after uploading my gpx file, I think the problem may be due to technology. I did a 2hr 21km,but when I uploaded it, I finished with a time of 1:49. Not too sure how that works.
  24. Who ran the virtual comrades today? Anyone do the 90km? I did the 21km with good mate. Perfect morning for a run, struggled a bit to maintain pace, but nevertheless great to be out.
  25. I have the same one. I've also found that it looks way better than it works! For espresso I find the brikka pot is best, otherwise my go to for an americano is my 6 cup stainless steel moka.
