  1. PSA levels and urinary capability are not completely linked - the PSA relates to the cancer - the urinary flow can relate to localised obstruction (swelling), and I am interested if the cutout would improve your flow over time - this is total speculation on my part that it might help - some people think it does - other not.
  2. Are you riding with a saddle that has a cutout for pressure relief? this is more a question about your thoughts on its effectivity if you are using one than a recommendation.
  3. They certainly can affect heart rates- and can cause reflex tachycardia (high heart rate - which is the opposite to your experience) even at rest - if I were you I would be cautious about pushing limits without a discussion with a cardiologist and possibly a full cardiac workup as a precaution. I would suspect the mechanism is more complicated as it's an anti cholinergic - and thus may complicate blood pressure regulation and the reason for your inability to raise heart rates lies in that area - please don't take this as gospel and get a cardiac workup before going full gas. Sorry to hear about your prostate cancer - that's piss poor news indeed - I hope you get that under control. (hat, coat door... with pun book in hand)
  4. My condolences on your and your families loss Reinet - I hope that Francois' sharing of his fight encourages others to take early measures when they have healthcare concerns, and to investigate and deal with issues early before they become insurmountable (which may happen anyway) I wish you the best going forward with your new challenges - as always, reaching out to hubbers and keeping them in the loop will generate support for your journey. All the best
  5. I suspect it is a fairly small market for cycling specific coffee cups - although I do have some Assos mugs, and if you look around you probably could find some quite easily locally - but I prefer fairly plain rather than specific decorative things.
  6. Those were done by Circa Ceramics - don't think you can still buy them - but Etsy.com is probably the place to look for similar - or have them made locally - https://za.rapid.studio/site/products/c/homeware/mugs could probably do something for you - you might need to find the cups first.
  7. It's more a question of what defines right - pm me your whatsapp number... I will send video - you be the judge...
  8. Wayne - just a question - nothing to do with NZ - how far do I have to be able to ride that damn unicycle of yours you so kindly donated to me before you consider it as being able to be ridden? It's been my lockdown project for a couple of weeks.... after some time on hold I took it out again.
  9. Had the boys on the hub been nicer to OldCoot, he might have posted the legal opinion he got that has facilitated these openings here... as well as the conditions... Personally, I think the cycling industry in SA will be grateful for his leadership in taking the initiative on this - as well as putting his money firmly behind the industry.
  10. Put some copper slip on the axle - across the full length - worth a go before stripping down a hub
  11. https://www.paragonmachineworks.com/ will have
  12. I have seen 3 spinal fractures this month in cyclists... fortunately all relatively minor - but 2 required some surgical intervention.... All these videos of garden tracks and obstacles lead people to do things they don't have skills for.
  13. They work fine for 80% of my tools - and are particularly good for small parts and things like nuts and bolt storage - easy to see everything without opening a million little drawers - also the big ones are nice to fit straight edges and levels and such - mostly because they are big.. On my big roll away, the long drawers are deeper, and I hate having things on top of each other - although that happens in the deep drawers a lot. I often consider trying to re-engineer 2 drawers into a single deeper one though - I am sure it will be possible - just have not got around to trying yet.
  14. Search the second hand classifieds - they come up regularly - some are better quality than others. https://www.gumtree.co.za/a-office-equipment-furniture/rosebank/plan-filing-drawers/1007109189080910253053409 Edit - here is another one - better view - https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1438055306353647/
  15. I mostly have mechanics type hand tools - stored mostly in a BIG rollaway - but I also have a few old architects plan cabinets converted to tool storage - 2A0 and A0 size - the only issue with these drawer based solutions are the depth of the drawers for larger tools - few electric hand tools will fit in these. I also have 3 horizontal filing cabinets - these work better for big tool storage, but are super hard to find - either new or second hand. I also have floor to ceiling shelving in 2 garages - this tends to turn messy quickly, but is nice to have and easy to find things - also cheap second hand compared to roll away drawer sets.
