To the top of Albert's Farm in Joeys Taken with Samsung S3

Nothing is simple with video editing. It's one of the biggest resource eaters of all applications, CPU and RAM. I think you're maybe being a bit ambitious trying to do this on a tablet.

For pedals, go shimano 540 or XT.. no contest.. I've tried Eggbeaters and all I can say is .. mmm. they're OK, but back to back with Shimano.. you can at least feel/hear when u click in with Shimano, I battle to click in with beaters. Only advantage with beaters is that they're light, but pricey too

Definitely try them out for a while.. don't cut too soon.. you can't glue those offcuts back! I made that mistake..

Between SCAMRAL and Multi No-choice it's a closely run race of extortionists! Bear in mind.. apart from paying through the nose subscriptions for repeats of repeats (and 2002-2003 vintage ones at that!), we also have to endue adverts that sometimes seem to go on for as long as the program we're watching... I think we should start a "class action suit" against these guys as well, seeing as they are a monopoly and have no competition. And BTW... have you seen the palace they're busy building for themselves with their ill gotten gains? It gives corporate HQ's new meaning... City they call it (I think) with justification..

Homeland and The Americans are also compelling viewing.

A tip for those who like red wine.. (unsubstantiated tho').. Drink organic wine IE No sulphur. It's apparently the sulphates that make you feel bad the next day. Woolworths sell a range of organic red wine that's also pretty cheap.. happy sluiping!

More of the same...

Go to this link in DIY tools on the hub... there's a .pdf tutorial on Shimano brake bleeding... https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/127707-diy-bike-tools/page__st__112

I cringed when he did the RHS.. those crank teeth were just begging for a meal... LOL But that's not really a show of seized or difficult pedals.. it was all pre loosened

Out of that lot, best value and safest purchase, and condition looks pretty fair.. is the Anthem.. IMHO And it's suitable for your type of riding

What I omitted to say, is that whilst I would ride my Trance at Modderfontein, N Farm, Spruit etc IE anywhere, I never take my Anthem to van Gaalen and attempt to ride down Oom Piet's, Greek Church etc If I was to choose one of the two, it would be the Trance, with it's very plush suspension.

I have one of each! So the best of both worlds.. I use the Anthem for Modderfontein, N Farm, Spruit etc and the Trance for Van Gaalen and more technical types of terrain. So like Jacquers says above, depends on your type of riding, which is not to say you can't ride a Trance at Modderfontein, but the Anthem is a bit lighter, and more suited to cross country..

Brilliant! What will they think of next! Connect an airbrush to a car tyre.. Ha Ha, and I guess it can work!

Yeah, I know.. and agree with all that stuff, I'm a 30 years plus supporter, but fell asleep early into last nite's race :-( Awoke to see Vettel's interview, and immediately went back to ZZZZZs I'm afraid Newey's the key, and together with Vettel's obvious immense talent, you have the recipe for boredom... superb driving skills notwithstanding...

I'm nearly ready to "retire" from F1 GP!

BTW. Thanks to the person who has done a running repair to that Delta Park bridge, by placing a wooden pallet next to where the original one was.

Yeah, this one is much worse than the Delta Park one.. North side of Jan Smuts, but you can see it from a bit further back, on the run down the bank, but this one has been like this for weeks, and yes the danger sign has "walked" :-( I suspect the sign "remover" is not the same person as the rock "layer". The rocks do somehow warn you in time... joys of our sport. I noticed yesterday that the "informal residents" are becoming a lot more formal. There are now a lot of tents sprouting up, especially next to the Field and Study area in Parkmore. This is surely not a good thing? Next will be shanty houses...

Small cleaning tip. .. When you've completed you "normal" wash. Take one of those blue lightweight kitchen wash up rags, that have little holes. Spray a little Clean Green or similar onto it, and then "floss" the bit at the top of the dust seals, and the dust seals themselves. You will nearly always see a bit of oily dust residue lurking thereabouts, even after a wash. Keeping this area free of dirt is a good way to make your fork, seals stanchions last longer.

Different colour! Rust is red oxide, ali oxide is whitish! Just cover it up.

Riding the Spruit yesterday eve I nearly went headlong into a ditch/stream because the bridge has been washed away. The spot is in Delta Park on the downhill after riding around the school playground and starting the windy descent (North side). On Strava it's called "Down through Delta switchbacks to first bridge" You can't see it until you are right on it and I only just managed to stop...BEWARE!

London taxis are not much better than our local ones... they just speak different!... many years ago, I rode a small Honda bike for about 9 months in London. The taxis crawl, blocking you when they're looking for passengers, but when they're loaded, they just run down anything in their path! They also do U turns without warning! So I was riding along minding my own bizz in central London and this taxi comes up alongside and tries to squeeze me into the pavement! No ways! So I balled up my fist and smacked the side of his vehicle as hard as I could, in the centre of one of the side panels! I so enjoyed that! I surprised myself! 'Cos there was an unexpectantly loud bang! He got such a fright, that he backed right off, and I disappeared into the distance. Gave him back some of his own medicine. But that was years ago. The traffic there today is just mindboggling, huge numbers, and cyclists are cannonfodder.. As can be seen from this post, of yesterday: 11 cyclists killed in London so far this year... https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/133241-bystanders-lift-car-off-a-cyclists-head/

Words fail.... madder and madder!

Northern Farm was a treat! No lemmings to deal with...
