    Chilled thanks. I'm only flying back in SA Monday evening any way, still in Moz for work.
  2. Alouette3
    Thanks. I'm not to clued up in downshifter types. My frame has fittings like below (internet pic)... if they would fit I'll take you up on your offer!

    Looking for a downtube road shift lever for a project if someone has one knocking around

    Cheapest place in CT for an Aeropress these days? I need a travel companion to help get my coffee fix!

    Anyone got a 25.4mm seatpost, road brake caliper or any SS cogs?

    Thanks seanp for the frame! Now just to find a 25.4mm seatpost, brake calipers and some single speed cogs to go on my shimano freewheel... Should be a fun project.
  7. Alouette3
    I'll take the road frame!

    Same a ratio, but in 12 (1x12) steps rather then a smoother 20 (2x10) steps is what he is saying...

    Pity its the RS10 rear. I'm still looking for bearing cones for my RS10 front

    Great news, at last! Are there any maps or official docs from Parks side? Besides the proposal document?

    I was hoping for something in the < R500 range, but looking around that was wishful thinking! The Hario Skerton is looking like a good option.

    Need a new grinder. Any recommendations on a good quality, not to expensive, value for money grinder. Was thinking along the lines of a mechanical burr grinder. Best place to get it?

    I see the time has changed from the usual old 9pm to 8pm...

    Had deforming on a Nobby Nic before. Very frustrating, looks like the rims is buckled but its just the tire, think some of the strands in the bead got damaged. Rode it for a little while as it still sealed up just fine. Oh and good luck finding High Rollers. I ended up having to import.

    Table Mountain Bikers, on their FB page, made in my opinion, an irresponsible comment at the end of their post concerning the Constantia Green Belt "In the meantime, the status quo in the greenbelts remains. Likelihood of enforcement is minimal due to lack of resources." (June 1 at 10:05am) This could easily be taken as... go ride the area, you probably won't get caught!

    I don't think the rangers even know what is going on. A friend and I were stopped about a year back at the start of the cork lane coming from the top, got asked for our permits, to the surprised of the rangers we produced our Activity cards and they let us carry on. Then last week I got stopped by a bakkie at the Cecilia parking lot, by a TMNP employee, and was told not to go on the Jeep track as the trail along the fence (cork lane) was designated for cyclists. He did say he didn't have the authority to fine me if I went up the mountain, but if his colleagues saw me anywhere else but on the fence line trails I would be liable for a fine. (And no I didn't ride up the mountain!)

    Been running the older NN's front and back. Just find the rear wears way to fast, think it might have something to do with the sharp edges on the nobs. Going to try the Ardent on the back for a bit, seeing I'm riding far to much jeep track and smoother single track with Tokai being out of action!
  19. Alouette3
    Finally bit the bullet and pulled the trigger on a couple High Roller II's a Ardents from CRC

    @aviating_apricot https://instagram.com/aviating_apricot/ Post a bit of everything, but mostly of the view...
  21. Alouette3
    Which is your LBS?
  22. Alouette3
    That IDS video just made me depressed, not only showing the guys riding Tokai, but the old snakes when there was still a forest covering the area. Those tracks where some of the best and never the same after the rebuild.

    capediver just make sure you have your activity card with you if you ride that bit of trail. I HAVE been stopped by Parks there and they asked for my card. Think they where surprised when I actually produced it!

    Someone was riding round the Silvermine reservoir this morning, hope the roughs don't make trouble for us.
  25. Alouette3
    Think I'm going to order a Maxxis HR II and Ardent combo from CRC sometime to keep in the cupboard. Seeing they like hens teeth in SA, especially in 26". Otherwise anyone know of a local source at a decent price?
