  1. Gunther…. Omw These are works of art. Their newest creations (turbo and speedster) are gooooorgeous
  2. Interesting!!! should also be a bit cheaper… 😂
  3. Me too, in all fairness. Smug conniving bastard, that one.
  4. Yep. Also quite galling to think that they claim Andretti, a motorsports powerhouse, won’t bring enough into the game. erm….
  5. lovely items, those... Did you get them? That rebate plane in the middle is wonderful, got a couple of them myself.
  6. @OP you can mullet it without an issue. It's just a wheel. Only thing you'd need to retain is the same cassette (for chain length and gearing compatibility) Hub width, axle size and disc size. You'll be dropping the BB by about 20mm or so, but that's not a train smash unless you're already grazing rocks with your cranks & chainring. It'll also reduce the inertia on the rear, as long as you're not going heavier with the back wheel. That will make the rear more "lively" by virtue of it being easier to change direction, but not by much. Another by-product of that is that you'll be able to lift the front more easily as it'll have slackened out the HA by dropping the rear axle relative to the front axle. FWIW I'd concentrate on the skills before you decide to pay them bills. Maybe even a better bar (slight riser) or a shorter stem. Flat bars belong in the gym.
  7. MTB with smaller wheel at the back. Groadies are a strange bunch, none of their terms are Canon. Mullet = business at the front, party at the back. Smaller wheel = more fun (lower inertia & angular momentum) & bigger wheel = better rollover. The Trek / GF 69er was from the days when designers needed to overcome their lack of understanding wrt niner geometry and smaller people, but the practice is still pretty common in Enduro / DH circles.
  8. Saw a 911 Dakar in the flesh the other day... My oh my, it's a sexy beast.
  9. Old Tumbleweed's favourite person in the world….
  10. We'd found you out behind the local floozy's geraniums, so I guess that's a yes.
  11. you gave me the spoon, jewie... All I did was a stick the tip in.
  12. So @Jewbacca tell us about the GNARRRRRR
  13. LOL, I got caught in that on my way back from a meeting in Paarden Eiland. Was clear in S Subs, as I was going down the M5 towards Koeberg Interchange I started seeing the lightning... Was in the thick of it on the way home...
  14. Use AXA, too, for peace of mind. But the doc you're looking for is the International Travel Letter, https://www.discovery.co.za/medical-aid/travelling-internationally
  15. Decat = better airflow = more air into cylinder = more bang = more powa. Def needs a tune to extract max benefit.
  16. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Jeez, dude is butthurt. @MMyou may receive slightly lower levels of trolling if you dropped the sanctimony.
  17. Looks good indeed. If it works out I could join you from Muzzies.
  18. Bahahahaha! That's funny, Patches. Yeah, if I would if I had endless cash. But when all I need from the mak stable is their cordless router (no other kind apart from Ryobi or Bosch Green available at the moment) and I can get a circular saw, multitool, jigsaw, random orbital, a 2.5Ah & 4Ah battery, 2 chargers and a sabre saw for less than ZAR 7,500.... I'm going Einhell. Especially when it's being backed by BPM Toolcraft, one of our best local distros here in CT. Ja, All Mak would be nice, but unnecessary. If a tool messes up, I take it back. And I can replace every tool 2 to 3 times before I get to the cost of the equivalent Makitas.
  19. So. Picking up this big beauty tomorrow, after it came to light that the XR I'd been building needed a new motor. It got swiped from my mates place together with his XR and mbx50... It's not anything at all related to turning 40 next week....
  20. So. I'm selling some goodies, all in excellent nick. Basically getting rid of my powered tools to replace with battery operated so I'm not reliant on Eishkom. Stuff I have that needs to go Metabo kgs216m sliding compound mitre saw - R 3,000 Makita 5903R 235mm circular w/ 4 just-sharpened blades and brand new brushes (installed this past weekend) - R 3,000 Bosch pks55 circular - R 1,000 Startel Pro 1900w plunge router w/ guide R 1,500 Dremel 3000 w/ router attachment and Tork Craft spares kit in Dremel toolbox - R 1,250 Elu electrical planer from the 80s (still in perfect order and w spare blades) - R 750 HMT (Huster Machine Tool company) belt driven table saw with cast iron worksurface and router under-mount (had the startel router in place) - R 12,000 Triton Mk3 workcentre - R 2,500 I also have a biscuit boy, details on that to follow once I've given it a once-over and checked it all out. All offers entertained, but don't take the piss. 😆 Slide into my DMs
  21. Tagliatelle for me, if I have a choice. More sauceticles for them to hold on to.
