  1. Yeah, re-dishing the rear is unavoidable due to the derailleur being clamped to the frame and you need to retain the orientation of the cassette, so you can only put a spacer on the non drive side. Front you can get away with no re-dishing if you get a spacer like the MRP
  2. I like seeing stuff like this, and have long thought that we need to move away from monocropping in order to preserve soil nutrient bio-availability. Properly researched with one goal: to improve the current situation. If it works, AWESOME. Recently had an expose locally where a wine farmer had poorly applied poison to vines to restrict / control ant activity. Had mixed it with molasses and then painted it on the vines. Bees came. And died. Logical conclusion, really, and totally unavoidable if it's been done properly.
  3. What hub you got? The MRP boost adapter doesn't force you to re-dish the wheel and it goes for ~650 from trailtech cycles Works with hope, CK, i9, DT & stans Mine has just arrived, but give Bibi a shout and he'll be a me to sort you out https://trailtechcycles.co.za/product/mrp-better-boost-adapter-kits/
  4. Whereabouts are you based, dex? If cape Town then make a trip to stoke who have a stupid range of Maxxis stuff. If Somerset west then the Hangar also has.

  8. Yeah, indeed. We'll still see the calls of boycott boycott, but the info is out and straightforward.
  9. Here you go, Gen The Discovery Bank BBBEE Scheme As part of the launch of Discovery Bank, Discovery announced a broad-based BEE (BBBEE) Scheme in which 10% of the Bank would be owned by qualifying customers. Gore said “We have received a considerable amount of feedback on this proposed Scheme. Upfront it is important to stress the value we place on what our customers think of us and the extent of their loyalty to us; and therefore we take their feedback incredibly seriously. At the same time, we need to always operate in a way that is consistent with the social and legislative imperative.” It is important to clarify the rationale for the proposed Scheme and correct certain misperceptions. • There is a social licence to operate. Discovery is a deeply patriotic and values driven organisation that has committed to investing in excess of R13bn into South Africa over the next five years – the Bank is central to this. In the context of investing in South Africa, there is a clear moral imperative for transformation. Achieving this in an inclusive way is fundamental to a successful, moral and secure future for the country. The Bank’s BBBEE Scheme has been structured to support this. • Transformation in South Africa is legislated. Legislation requires black ownership, and specifically as part of our licensing process, a commitment was made to the South African Reserve Bank of direct black ownership in our Bank. We need to honour this commitment. “Based on the fundamental issues of transformation, BEE requirements and licensing, the issue then became how – in terms of the Scheme’s design and execution. We felt that a Scheme that would have broad reach by directly linking to individual customers, would be equitable and more moral and inclusive than one in which a few people or narrow groups would benefit,” said Gore. While details of the BBBEE Scheme will be finalised next year, Discovery clarified: • The Scheme shares will not be given away for “free”. Qualifying customers will pay for their shares (and any interest thereon) via vendor financing within the Scheme. This approach is consistent with many other models in the financial services and banking sectors. • As Discovery Bank is not a separately listed entity, the shares will not be tradeable. • The Scheme is intended to be broad, and will be available to individual participants. There will be qualifying criteria for these participants, and this will be finalised in 2019. There will be conditional requirements that participants will need to meet over the term of the Scheme. • Critically, participants will share only in the additional economic value they help to create – the arrangement is not at the expense of other members. “Our primary goal is to build a bank that is progressive, nation building and rewarding for its customers. Our vision is to build a bank that helps individuals build a financial stronger future. We will continue to consult and incorporate all legitimate feedback as we finalise the details of the Scheme,” he concluded.
  10. Short version: We needed to allocate shares for BBBEE. We thought clients were a better bet for more diversity than a small selection of executives.
  11. Saw this on my mission this morning... JOH! So much of want!
  12. That refers to light bars, though, specifically single-bar items Located on the centre line of a car.
  13. And don't worry about training wheels. The kids already know how to balance, so the addition of pedalling is easy for them.
  14. It may. Depends how your existing insurance is, and whether it can be beaten. As for the savings - their newer investment options are pretty good for a life asssurance company.
  15. Q3A at varsity was GREAT. Engineering & Science LANs for the win.
  16. I got HL2 ep1 & ep2 as well as Lost Coast. Also got HL1, OpFor & Blue Shift.
  17. OMG. I need to play HL2 again. And CSS. I WANT HL3
  18. It'd be a great complement to it. An axe-wielding murderer chasing you instead of you carrying mjolnir...
