  1. On a similar note, what about Epic Pro.
  2. Fortuitously it was not a form of accident of any kind. I just went into this year over trained and decided with the aid of a physio that rest would do me good. Long story short; rest, a little bit of riding, more rest and now mild flu (when I planned to start training again) has got the better of me with 4 weeks of training left. Just have fun while out on the bike, no need for caution as long as you don't over estimate your ability (skills-wise.)
  3. Just pulled the plug. Was hoping for my 3rd in a row as well as the 10th instalment but things just didn't work out. Will be back next year though.
  4. I missed all these posts but I did land up at all these places coincidentally. I tried a few places (espressos); Rosetta, Origin, Truth, EspressoLab and some others along the way (Haas and Knead in Muizenberg.) Rosetta was my favourite with their El Zapote bean, I also enjoyed the rather different Knot Yirgacheffe bean which was very intriguing with its Earl Grey-like scent. Second was EspressoLab. My taste has now shifted to the lighter "fruitier" roasts. Truth and Origin weren't bad (Truth the better of the two) but not quite to my liking. Although I did enjoy the single origin aeropress at Origin. The Honest chocolate was also pretty good, especially that chocolate coconut ganache that they make.
  5. This is the key. With GPS turned off it relies on the sensors only.
  6. I'm off to Cape Town this weekend, which shops are worth the visit? Much appreciated.
  7. Maybe this was more about giving Phil the best possible partner for him to do the best he could and not the other way around as every one thinks?

  9. Not sure on price but the Saeco/Philips Syntia isn't bad.

  11. What do you expect? The sponsor pays the rider to represent and market their brand and that is what they do. You can't go around biting the hand that feeds you by saying your sponsor/employer offers an inferior product. Not attacking you but that was a really silly comment. Edit in Italic
  12. It is a scam. Rather funny that you can tell that the info is from a Canadian bike review. "While Cannondale mountain bikes may not be a common sight here in BC" Maybe the scammer thinks that BC means "Business Central", must be the same thing as Joburg CBD.
  13. Please pour the milk in first with the flat teaspoon of Frisco? Don't forget the few granules of salt to really "enhance" the "coffee" flavour.
  14. I meant a "How to kill Zombies" guide.
  15. Sounds like the making of a "How to..." guide.
  16. As you know, Lurpak is far more expensive in comparison to normal butter, even more than Kerrygold. Prices vary so much between stores that I'm always curious as to where the best deal is. Provided it isn't out of my way.
  17. I'm not the biggest fan of "normal" salted butter, the taste isn't anywhere near that of Kerrygold. I do use the Woolies brand for cooking though.
  18. Have any of you seen the price of Kerrygold butter recently? I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw R74,00. I'm sure that I was paying around R52,00 last year per 500g. What is the cheapest store where you have found butter recently?
  19. Dental floss and long nose pliers, I'm not sure whose worse off.
  20. In Gauteng, there is also a guy by the name of Rudi from Kicker Paints in Centurion. Really awesome work. You can also take a bike to him for carbon repairs.
  21. Maybe not a lack in quality but consistency? I bought 250g Kenyan beans from the Dullstroom store when the MTN race was there in Feb. Long story short, I enjoyed it and bought 1kg on my way back from MTN Sabie. The second purchase was a far darker roast than the first (oily texture when the first was dry), it didn't taste nearly the same nor have the same amount of crema once extracted. So I assume that it wasn't fresh either.
  22. A little on the skinny side, rather this one. http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/c4/a7/67/c4a767538a3d7c77dc651181f9ff8f53.jpg edit: sp
