The only issue is it's not a grind on demand SJ - so ground coffee sits and stales in the chute - fine if your volumes are high like for a coffee shop - but not really great for home use. https://capecoffeebeans.co.za/products/mazzer-super-jolly-electronic-on-demand-espresso-grinder?_pos=2&_sid=b8eec6316&_ss=r&variant=7709309042735 is the one to have - much more expensive - but the mini electronic is better suited to home use than a SJ - it fits under cupboards.... with the small hopper. https://capecoffeebeans.co.za/products/mazzer-mini-electronic-on-demand-espresso-grinder?variant=466346475524

I think the gravel bikes are also a niche market - much like the SS bikes - hardcore roadies looking for new challenges for sure - my normal road ride group are starting to organise weekend gravel ride within the group, so it's a possibility, but I doubt there is a massive market - much like the SS bikes I like the idea of a frame that comes with an angleset - gives a lot of versatility in setup - but I wonder if there is enough for it to go all the way from 140 fork trail muncher to a monstercross bike.

1. ST-R or ST-F STR - this keeps the option open for SS or running geared - and depending on the dropouts you made available, you could run Q/R or thru axle 2. keep 29er? Definately 3. Head Angle? Slack - 140 fork capable but needs to be able to run a rigid fork as well 4. How many Frame Sizes ... comment above about how a MODERN GEO frame can work with smaller " t-shirt label size " is very true - some brands even do 1 SIZE per model - you might lose the fringe sizes but the majority of the market will suit a GOOD MEDIUM frame? 17, 19 and 21 should cover most people 5. Tyre Size 29x 2.5 - needs to be able to fit a Maxxis Assegai with some mud clearance 6. Rim Width - this effects tyre size in terms of outer diameter and clearance 30 - 35 7. Price in Rands that would make it interesting . 6k

Amalgum fillings do not have lead..... Primarily Mercury, Silver and Copper and are regarded generally as inert physiologically - they are more dangerous to the dentist than the patient (because they mix the liquid mercury in - but dentists do not regard is as a major health hazard to themselves - given normal safe operating procedures)

I send everyone in Jhb to Rob Routier at Olivedale - he doesn't specialise in athletes per se, but he is my go to guy. And if you don't follow his program exactly, you are history.... (my kind of approach) He has also saved a couple of friends lives over the years.

But John is right - I am not here to give qualified advice - mostly just here to talk **** about bikes

Chat to your GP - he will be able to medicate the edge off a bit... quite a lot off actually - or refer you to a psychiatrist who can.

Put something with UV resistance on - silkwood or such would be my first stop - alternately something really expensive from northern europe or canada

I have 2 Garmin virb's - I use them during lunchtime road training sessions - one front and one rear facing - don't do anything with the video unless there is a close pass or stupid driver I can identify - in which case their company gets a complaint - and a video clip - sometimes this has a good effect - sometimes it's a waste of time.

So sorry for your loss - my condolences to her family and friends.

Busted his foot - did some damage to his shoe as well.

It will certainly work on the indoor stuff - the outdoor stuff I would finish with a 70% turps and 30% linseed oil mix - then you get your domestic to wipe it down monthly with the same mix on a cloth - should survive just about anything.

Try blowing compressed air through it - 8 bar blows most stuff out the holes - you can use a specific coffee detergent for cleaning it first - or just toss it in the dishwasher

Some of that definately relates to more advanced diagnotic ability in general - 30 years ago those people would not have been diagnosed for another 10 years possibly - and in many cases either passed on before diagnosis or had mets in more critical organ systems, and been diagnosed/passed with those. Massive advances in the understanding of all things medical in the last 30 years - when I trained, for instance, I don't remember there being sub-types of breast cancer for instance - now they can distinguish between multiple.... with sometimes different treatment regimes. All academic I guess - you just keep throwing everything you have at this fight - that's what HAS to be done - we can have the debate about it another time - it doesn't add anything to your willingness to keep up the fight.

Yet we live more than 20 years longer than 100 years ago.... odd that....

I think you are on the right track - Danish oil finishes yellowood quite nicely and wears very well - my yellowood table has survived 12 years and 2 babies without being refinished - although arguably it could use a refinish now - one of many projects on the list. I bought my Danish oil in Strydom Park at Hardware Center - pretty sure they will still stock it - given that online they do. http://www.hardwarecentre.co.za/?post_type=product&was=was&s=danish

Depends on many things - but do some testing on taste - full fine, middle and full course - then you can see which you like and fine tune around there. I generally reccomend starting at full fine if you use Arabica beans - and stay away from very dark roasts and oily beans - you will just give yourself a maintenance nightmare.

Quick question guys - if you wanted to sell an air rifle - .177 where and how would you go about it?

Nope - no crema to speak of unless you are using VERY freshly roasted beans - as in day of roasting - by espresso analog I mean its close but not the same thing - close enough to be drinkable anyway.

Jura - take your pick - https://www.jura.com/en/homeproducts/automatic-coffee-machines Just be sure you can achieve the products you want to drink with the device - Ena 8 or Ena 8 signature will do the trick for most home users - usually spending more money gives you a more fully featured machine - up to a point when you start having features and capacity you don't need and cant use. But you won't go wrong with a jura as a general rule of thumb - and no - I don't own 1 - my super auto is a Siemens - and hasn't been used for many months - mostly because it has a fault and won't power up.... and one day I will take it to midrand and get it repaired.

I will see your countertop and raise you a cup...

Build yourself a rolling server cart with water and drain containers - I kind of have to do this as an interim step while I repurpose rooms in the house so I can migrate my new machine to a dedicated water and drain supply (which exist but have never been used) - it doesn't fit under the kitchen cupboards - which has long been an issue for my big grinder but now the machine does not fit either. (ok - it does fit with the cup tray surround off - but I have not been able to turn it off so my cupboard survives a while longer - it's supposed to be a software feature but....

Aeropress and a good hand grinder.... won't do the capp but does an espresso analog very well.

Take it apart and reset the zero stop a bit finer....
