NOOOOO! Keep the purple dinosaur in his cage!

Moderaters moderate. Some people (generally the moderated) will find fault with moderation. Some people (generally the un-moderated) will not, or may not, unless it is excessively biased or repeatedly off-key. Personally, I don't have a problem with how this site is moderated. Yes, at times I feel some decisions may be a bit too strict / lenient, but then that is the nature of the beast (so to speak)

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! I feel for you. That's at LEAST another 2 years away for me, and I will fight it as long as I am able to.

Whoa Nelly. The man with the keys needs to confirm the time first... GUV'NOR!!!

T. M. I. !!!!

ROFL. Marriage. Gotta lo... Hang on. I'm also married. Anyway. I'm committed. In both senses of the word. Friday, 9am by the gate?

You sure that's not EEEEEEEEEK! ? That's what I shout. Well, squeal.

Friday so the changes can bed in on saturday.

I'm cool either way. The rain will make things easier, but will bed the changes in more than working in the rain. Friday is better, then. I'm cool for both. Vote time... Awww, but why?

Yeah, he does have a lot of knowledge...

I'm keen for saturday. Will see if I can drag along a certain tropic as well.

Let's organize one. Try and shimmy around the fandamily commitments (yes, that includes your prisoner, PorS. BTW - did you manage to re-imprison her?)

Adding to PorS - I doubt Burry & Christof won "because they were riding a Spez" And no, Crow's opinion is not to be discounted. He has ridden a LOT of bikes. And conclusively.

ROFL. Yeah. Flame suit... industrial strength. And dirt in the cable housings may also be a problem. There's a reason I prefer fully enclosed cabling!

Hmmmm... Tempting. You can bring it along to the next build session, how's that? Then we can all enjoy a frostie after the hard slog!

Is she light? Can we all have a go? Just chatted to PorS. Easter is a bit of a stick in the spokes, but hopefully within the next 2 weeks. Will keep you guys posted should I get any more info, or if anything is finalized.

sometimes condensation is par for the course, especially if the watch has been sitting in the sun for hours on end and all of a sudden you jump into a crisp, cool pool or lake etc. The difference in temp (internal / external) and the rapid cooling down of the exterior of the watch will cause condensation to form inside the watch. Same general principle as when you take a beer out of the freezer on a blasting hot day - even though it isn't iced up in the freezer, as soon as you take it out and expose it to the heat, condensation forms rapidly, and in many cases actually causes a coating of frost. Also happens in some of the top diving watches, if you do the same thing.

Thanks Edkin. It's not that thankless... Plus, it's a free gym workout. Yikes, those picks, shovels, wheelbarrows and McLeods take it out of you.

Shot PorS Just a q - how do I cause cats to have pain?

Just a quick post to let you know that work has started on Snake Eyes! Yes, I know! It’s going to snow! Pain or Shine, myself and Beattbox (together with his son) were up there for 5 hours yesterday taking care of the first section of the right hand trail (the one that had become super rutted & eroded) and installed some new features, whilst modifying it to be more water-friendly. Unfortunately, it needs a bit of time (and rain) to bed in, and as such the right hand trail has been closed for a few days to let it settle. Deon & I will return in a few days to put a bit more compaction into the surface. You’ll see the logs crossing the trail at the point of the split, as well as further down, so it’s kinda obvious that that section of trail is closed. The left hand fork is still open, so if you want to ride Snake Eyes and connect to Rinkhals below, I’d suggest using that trail for now. It links up with the main trail below the closed section of the right hand trail, so is fully rideable. In terms of future modifications, these are going to happen in due time. At the moment, the focus is on rehabilitating the trail to a point where it is water friendly (IE: the erosion doesn’t happen quite as quickly as it did this time around) and the features will stay in place. A big emphasis is being put on making the trail “ride-able” for all levels, so where there are drop-offs, jumps etc they will either be easily rollable, or there will be a chicken run. All in all, we used up 2 tons of clay in the process. Suffice to say that we’re a bit sore this morning! PS: If anybody knows how to do a rain dance, or has had success with Thor or another god of thunder / rain etc, then please feel free to dance your backside off for the next 10 seconds. We need more rain. PPS: This was not an advertised build, as the go-ahead was given too late to organize a build party to go up there. There will most probably be one in the next few weeks, to continue with the revitalization. PPPS: PLEASE DO NOT RIDE THE CLOSED OFF SECTION! If you see anybody, please let either Pain or Shine or I know so that measures may be taken, and closures reinstated.

I saw that this morning... That's one 29er I would gladly shell out for!

I'd go for the 2011 bike, no question. Better brakes (more adjustability than the Elixir 5's) and a fork that comes with a compression adjustment and the FIT damper system over the bog standard Fox fork (Cap, how's that fork going, btw? ) And a better shock at the back. And agreed wrt the tubeless conversion. They're spinning you a tale.

LOL. My bad.

The vigne a vigne? It's crazily expensive for what it is, dude... But I'm doing a trail build session in Tokai this morning anyway...

GAH! I don't need to see an advert for Oak Valley Wine estate! I don't care that you have a rare brand of cow, or that you feed your varke acorns! Gah!
