  1.  OMG please if you want to entertain me with stupid comments pick on somebody else !! Does stopping at a red traffic light make sense to you ?

    Does wearing a long sleeve shirt make sense to you? Does wearing a helmet make sense to you?

  2. I already got a long list . Come to think of it , I stopped doing these CSA races ! And just because it is the RULE must we follow it , even if we all can see it is stupid and makes nonsense all ? Blaaa-blaaaaa here comes the sheep . I assume you also pay your e-toll account ?

    So you don't stop at Red traffic light if you don't feel like it? 

     

    How many other rules do you not follow?

  3. As jy wegspring in groep D kan jy plekke ruil met iemand in groep A?

    Instand DQ, they will know what time your "chip" is supposed to start. If it crosses the mat before that then DQ.

     

    If you ride with the other persons chip and number and they find out, banned!

  4. Mountain Bikers be proud there are so many new trails being built for you to enjoy on wine farms across the Western Cape area. Here are a few for you to chew on go ride. 

     

    Cascade Manor in Paarl follow the link below for details?

    What has this got to do with the thread?

  5. Patch - I'm no employment lawyer so I'm just trying to figure out how it work if you are accused of committing a crime when off duty? On what grounds would an employer suspend you before you are actually convicted of a crime.

     

    Say you are falsely accused of a crime (definitely not saying this is the case here), would it be fair for your employer to suspend you for something not work related and not yet proven in a court?

     

    Makes sense to me that the navy would wait for the outcome of the criminal case and not run some sort of parallel disciplinary case of their own.

    While I was in the "army" we were told that we are property of the state and we can get into **** for stuff we do in "our" time even when not in uniform.

  6. This story was covered by all the major news sites and was front page on the Cape Argus, was on KFM according to Eddy - I just don't get this paranoia of "but what if they were white?"

     

    Just for interest sake - Tim Osrin that was referred to earlier (white oke who assaulted a domestic worker with a sjambok) last appeared in court about a month ago - don't feel bad if you don't know about it - there was exactly one small article about it in the Cape Times and nothing on social media

     

    And unlike these 2 bastards he didn't spent even one night in jail.

     

    Lots of biased reporting in the media but this aint a good example of it.

    Not sure why you quoting me? I was merely saying to Joe low to not downplay it as common assult

  7. I read a small internet article that a guy this week slit the throats of his four children in Mpumulanga whilst on the phone to his estranged wife in Gauteng.

     

    I haven't seen it treated as a big deal by the media.

     

    Common assault in Cape Town has been given enough coverage. People need to get over themselves.

    Both should get the same attention, so don't downplay this one please.

  8. From a quick google.

     

    Hemo Control is a robust hemoglobin analyser designed to provide quantitative, lab quality results (imprecision of less than 2%) within 25 seconds for blood banks, hospitals and clinics. And also, thanks to its integrated rechargeable battery, it is the perfect analyser for use in the field. Which is why you will find Hemo Control (sold as HemoPoint H2 in the USA) used in anemia screening programmes in some of the world's most challenging environments.

    The range also includes the Hemo Control Manager which provides bar coded identification of patients, operators, controls and cuvettes and Hemo Vet for veterinary use.

    STAT-Site is a hand-held hemoglobin analyser that combines low cost per test with portability. It is especially suited to blood screening programmes in developing world markets but also has a niche in settings where operators are mobile.

    UltraCrit is a high accuracy hematocrit measurement device for blood donor screening, It is the first and only hematocrit/hemoglobin measurement device to use ultrasound technology. UltraCrit has shown an accuracy of ≤0.4%.

    HemataSTAT can quickly measure hemotocrit in any setting.

    The HemataSTAT® is a microhematocrit system. It provides quantitative hematocrit. The hematocrit method measures the amount of red blood cells in relation to the amount of plasma. HemataSTAT® is also perfect for veterinary use

    The DiaSpect Hemoglobin T and its hand held counterpart DiaSpect Tm are the world’s fastest Hemoglobin measurement systems with laboratory quality performance for anemia screening in any environment, with results in 1-2 seconds.

     

    Counting red blood cells, now this is VERY interesting

  9. In response to those speculating to how it could have been found, it could've been a "random" (aka targeted) search by anti-doping guys. Interestingly enough, whilst I travelled with my team into France from Belgium in August, we were pulled off by the French douane (customs). Our camper and team car (which we rented from Caja Rural) was thoroughly searched. They went as far as reading through our team manager's notebook! Apparently it is standard procedure for them to stop and search cycling team vehicles in an attempt to find illegal substances.

     

    Perhaps it was something to this extent and Rourke's bag was searched? However, I doubt that Andorran customs would be updated on anti-doping laws and having a syringe in your possession isn't illegal. This is why I believe it was a targeted search by anti-doping officials. So what if he was targeted? It doesn't mean he's guilty. I don't think it's fair to pass judgement on the guy just yet.

     

    Edit: Of course, no discretion is needed when the "system" proves he's guilty.

    What do you mean by this? He is guilty for breaking a RULE!

     

    I don't think people care what he wanted to use it for, that is another case all together and speculation. But for this, he is guilty. You should not have this on you at all.

  10. I use a syringe to inject a bit of fork oil on my Manitou Marvel's dust seals... It's a diabetic injection needle... Maybe that is all there is to it...

     

    If you were a professional you will not be allowed to have it with you. Does not matter what he wanted to use it for, it is NOT allowed

     

    Edit: Just make sure you don't scratch the stanchions when you do that to the fork. (I assume you put the needle between the the wiper and the stanchions)

  11. try get the original proof of purchase otherwise specialized wont be interested in the event of a claim. if you have the slip they very good and standing by there frames, 

    check breaks the bike comes with and be cautious if sram xx world cup or sram Xo if they feel soft and spongy try stay away as it can be a challange and expensive to get them fixed

    Only for the first owner...
