  1. It is a fact that CO2 will react with ammonia based sealant to form a hard sludge ball. If I used CO2 on the trail I always let it out at home and inflate with normal air. Not sure how much this helps though.
  2. Three, getting to dinner on time if some one spilled some water on the team hotel's staircase.
  3. I am starting to believe this as well, never had problems until switching to the RR's. Our local trail (2 River) runs through a lot of Acacia veldt, so a tyre sealant combo really gets tested here.
  4. Is it possible to get a bad batch of Stans? I have always been a huge fan and after trying just about every thing else settled on Stans. Recently changed my tires from Crossmark to RR snakeskin. Bought a new bottle of Stans to add to the new rubber. It just does not seal the punctures like it should. Even tiny pinholes like from little devil's thorns dont seal. The sealant just escapes until all pressure is lost. Now I am not sure if it is the Stans fault or the RR's. This is my first set of RR's, have always been riding crossmarks in the past.
  5. Go Froome Dawg go!!! Best thing that could have happened to Sky's Tour de France aspirations. Team now united behind Chris.
  6. Great story River Rat, but you know the rules of The Hub; pictures or it did not happen!
  7. If you are looking for something that is not mainstream or mass participation I would like to invite you all to come and join us for an event you will never forget. Now in its 6th year 2 River MTB club is proud to present our annual race. 2 River MTB challenge offers 35 km of purpose built single track on the banks of the Vals and Vaal rivers. Although we don't have any major climbs the stunning single track on the 60 km route is tough yet rewarding. We have also built a technical route over the only klipkoppie in Bothaville. It offers a challenging climb with some technical but short descending. It was previously known as the Two River Technical Challenge.
  8. Speensalf of melksalf by jou koƶperasie. Just don't ask for nipple cream! Die oom agter die toonbank sal jou skeef aankyk.
  9. Off course yes! Mix my own: 1 big tub of milking cream + 1 tube of antiseptic ointment. Cheap and it works like a charm.
  10. Nothing like some warm milk on a freezing Freestate morning!
  11. Tombeej, I made your macnut butter, it is very yummie indeed! I am afraid I will have to hide it from myself.Where do you buy your macadamias?
  12. Ever wondered why it is so difficult to control the carb monster / -werewolf inside us? Look at that amount of sugar! No wonder it can become like an addiction!
  13. Where do you guys buy fresh berries (raspberries and blueberries)? PnP, Woolies.
  14. You have just given yourself another good reason to cut the carb intake in favour of healthy animal and plant fats and animal protein. Good luck trying to find GMO free wheat or maize products in SA. Do not believe the package if it states GMO free. Visit any commercial grain silo in your area and ask the manager if they keep the GMO maize apart from the non GMO. Maize in one form or another is found in a lot processed carbs making its way onto your plate.
  15. You can extract nutrients from meat because our species evolved over thousands of years from being small brained herbivores to big brained omnivores. It is a fact that our closest cousins the chimpanzees hunt other apes and small game.
  16. No I wont.It is a pity that the hub crash erased almost the whole LCHF thread here on the hub. I am not sure if you followed it in any way. It was one of the fastest moving threads on the hub, and the number of people that have indicated that their health markers like weight, body fat %, blood lipid levels and blood glucose levels have improved by cutting carbs from their diet, must be indicative of the fact that modern lifestyle diseases are caused by an over consumption of carbs.
  17. I did. Please read: "Why we get fat." by world renowned expert Gary Taubes, and "The Paleo diet" by Loren Cordain. PhD. Full of scientifically proven facts, not facebook mumbo jumbo. Then we can have a meaningful talk?
  18. Not sure but I would not argue with you. Fact is they live in a harsh climate and the possibility of being gored by an angry bison or falling overboard during a hunt at sea must be very real. Much safer running across the street to Woolies.(even in SA ) Fact is if they survive till 65 it will be very healthy years and I suppose then they would not be actively involved in hunting the dangerous animals anymore. Since they don't have to fear lifestyle sicknesses I see no reason why they wont reach 90 or even 100. Their healthy diet are providing them with everything they need and they live in a relative pollution free environmennt.
  19. By the way, scientific fact: Of the 3 food sources in the human diet, carbohydrates, protein and fat only carbohydrates are non essential. You can't live without protein or fat but you can thrive on a diet without any carbs at all.
  20. Who said we are suffering ill effects from eating meat? The ill effects suffered by modern humans are caused by a diet rich in processed carbs. I will give you just one example; The Inuit people of Alaska eat a diet that is 80% saturated fat and 20% protein, with only trace amounts of carbs. (Not a lot of green stuff around when the ground is covered in snow all year) They don't only survive but they thrive on this diet. The lean parts of the walrus carcasses are fed to their dogs. They go for the big pieces of brown fat that they mix with the lean bison meat. This is eaten raw. They are so healthy that there is no recorded cases of modern life style diseases like cardiovascular disease or diabetes. They also don't get scurvy at all as the walrus fat and bison meat provide them with ample vitamins and minerals. The only time of year they get sick is in spring when their stash of walrus fat and bison meat mix are finished and they are forced to live from snow rabbits. The meat is lean and do not offer any vitamins. Then they have scurvy symptoms. Do yourself a favour and google rabbit poisoning, very interesting.
  21. The average producers prizes for this week are; R28,15 for super beef and R44.30 for super lamb. You must make a loan and buy all his free range lamb at R45.00! You can sell it at double the price. I say again the man is not making a cent of profit at these prizes.
  22. Off course our bodies evolved to eat meat. Our huge brain size compared to other hominids are a direct result of the change in our diet due to the nutrient dense animal protein source. We developed along a total different path to true carnivores like the cats and wolves, so to say that we are not supposed to eat meat because we do not have true canines is bullocks.
  23. Who told you so? Look at any hunter gatherer society through the whole world. The main part of the diet is animal protein. Do you think the San and Khoi bushmen of the Kalahari can survive on grass and tsammas or the Inuit on seaweed?
  24. Free range pork? Never heard of that. The farmer must be family or good friend to sell it to you so cheaply. He is not making a cent of profit on prices so low.
