Sunday? I can gasp and pant and wheeze on the way up behind you, whilst you have a lekker recovery ride. LOL.

make it sunday and I'm there...

LOVE old villages like that. So much character and charm. And best of all - QUIET!!! Could very happily live somewhere like that, even if it meant getting in the car and driving 50km to the nearest shop.

https://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-us/bikes/series/trance.advanced/26031/ & https://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-us/bikes/series/trance/26030/ You can be reasonably certain that the pricing will be very close to the $ equivalent at the time they landed here. I just hope they land now, rather than a month ago! On the advanceds, it's Pike RCT3 / Kashima 34 / Yari. On the alu, it's 34 Rhythm / Sektor.

I saw it in my inbox this morning.

ai yai yai...

Ergh. That's horrible, man. You'd think a certain amount of intelligence was a requirement for that type of job...

Also - the shop won't want to "part out" the bike. It's a single item. IE: 1xCannondale Habit, large. It's not an off-the-shelf list of parts that make up a bike. If they did the invoice like that, they'd have to circumvent their invoicing system, otherwise you're going to pay through your arse as you're paying retail for individual aftermarket (NON OEM) parts.

I are excite!

Just remove one of the rollers and put washers on the shaft so that it sits in line with the chainring. Even a cable tie each side of the now single roller will work...

I can't stop watching...

Just quick spin around the green belts. Was a BEAUTIFUL evening for it, and the mud made it FUN in places! #2wheeldrift...

Still far prefer the spaz.

Not with the way our paving was done. Sheesh.

No. No floor likes moisture underneath, but due to the average thickness of an epoxy flooring solution if the underlying material (substrate) isn't bone dry and properly prepared, it WILL fail. Same as floating cement over an existing floor that hasn't been keyed. Or re-plastering a wall that hasn't been properly cleaned and keyed... Or laying wooden flooring directly onto concrete, without any waterproof membrane and lining. Of all the things, proper surface prep is KEY. Used to walk around job sites with my dad back when he was a national waterproofing ^ epoxy rep for ABE back in the day. Epoxy is strong enough to withstand molasses - IF the underfloor is prepped properly, and the contractor laid the floor correctly. One liiiittle gap, and it's tits up

The best solution would be to get at it from the neighbour's side. But IIRC you said they have a structure there as well, meaning you can't get in to deal with it properly? If you CAN get in, then deal with the cause first - improper drainage and waterproofing on the outer wall and near the foundations. That means waterproofing membrane, that plastic sheeting with little dimples (like an oversized bubble wrap, almost) and digging to the base of the foundation, laying weeping tile & loads of G4 stone. Then cover up again and finish with sheeting or ANOTHER layer of brick. Then you have to dig under the foundations and fill the hollows. You may as well blast through the floor itself in those areas, given that you'll need to do that anyway to have a proper chance of getting a long lasting solution. Then chip away across the floor, re-pour the cement and ensure that it's properly damp proofed (as per v12's suggestion) Or you could just tear it down and rebuild it from scratch with all the proper stuff in place from the beginning...

In short - yerfecked. That's going to be a big job, mate.

Well, it's neither option A nor C. That will only last a short amount of time, and fail.

So do we.

Yep. PPA's R170k certainly helps us get the work going. Also provides funding for clay and stone, and lays the foundations for other funders now that a respected body has provided the initial capital.

I'm quivering like an 18 year old getting her first taste of...

if it weren't for me taking my lightie to school in the mornings, I'd be on a bike...

Dammit, Lexx. Now you have me thinking.

Ouch. No derailleur either
