  2. The point that I tried to convey was that being able to use your limbs efficiently, whether for self defense or participating in a sport where you are pitting your skillset against someone else (just like ANY other sport), is an art and a valuable attribute. EDIT: for the record, I have no issue with Shebeen, we have had some entertaining debates on other threads and I have nothing but respect for him, or you Captain FBM. BUT... I don't understand that if someone doesn't like boxing (or any other sport where moering is involved), why comment on such a thread? I don't like veganism, hence I stay away from that thread. I don't go on there lamenting the fact that my cattle feed is being consumed by humans.
  3. If I had to choose between moering someone and sitting behind a keyboard trying to talk some sense into someone who clearly needs a good moering, I choose the former. Unless it can be proven that you can stop a burglar with a keyboard, this will remain my position. But that's just me, its already been established that I am a bigoted neanderthal. In fact, if it wasn't for this dictation app, I wouldn't be able to type a single sentence.
  4. Yes, Eddie has shed a lot of fat and he is STILL huge. Like you said, the things that can be achieved when the mind is applied!
  5. Eddie The Beast Hall vs Dumbbell "the mountain" Hafthor Bjornsson also on the cards. Eddie shared a video of Dumbbell sparring, if that is for real, he will have both sides of his face pulling funny HAHA https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/boxing/12243378/thor-bjornsson-eddie-hall-knockout/ PS: Tyson FTW, all the way!
  6. HAHAHA that's kuk funny....

  10. edit: not worth it...
  11. Im running the sunrace 10spd 11-46 cassette with a 34 Rapide chainring. cassette goes as follows: 11/13/15/18/21/24/28/34/40/46. with this setup i get up most hills, if i HAD to change id get the 11/51 12spd sunrace cassette, it has much closer ratios at the top (...33/39/45/51) and doesnt require a microspline or XD driver. the cassette is R1600 odd at Bike Addict. the 10spd cassette i refer to is available at Evobikes for R795 https://www.evobikes.co.za/components/cassettes/cassette-sunrace-ms2-10spd-11-46t.html Oh one last thing, I needed a hanger extender, got one from Rapide for R219 or something. https://www.rapide.co.za/product/rapide-derailleur-hanger-extender/ she runs fine, no issues, except my legs hurt when I dont ride often enough...

  12. The liberal retard generation strikes again... F..CK me... https://www.news24.com/sport/rugby/england-fans-singing-swing-low-under-review-due-to-slavery-links-20200618
  13. Ive had my rapide wheels a couple of days, and ive not been able to go for a ride. 1 because in my eagerness to get the wheels tyres on, i damaged the rim tape and subsequently the tyres wont seal (got new rimtape from my LBS yesterday so I will install later) and 2 because I have been THAT busy working... its amazing how much lighter the wheels are! when this coldfront blows over, it looks like tomorrow might be clearer thant the last 2 days, I will be going out to test them!
  14. prices never go down, there'll be a "sale" with the RRP giving the impression that you're buying a moerse bargain... that's just the way of the beast. i had this argument with a national bike dealer on one of the social media platforms, and they tried to convince me that a 60% increase was due to increased transport costs and the the exchange rate". this was in mid april, I just laughed...
  15. [emoji12]
  16. ja i was hoping to get Nigerian citizenship, but apparently you can't be Nigerian if you're a ginger
  17. Well done for busting a cap in his donkey! Its crazy what goes on sometimes! I mean it must be a bot or something posting that nonsense, just looking at it it seems too much effort for a person to manually sit and post the same thing THAT many times? Anyways, you popped him in about 2 hours, still a better response time than SAPS I am told
  18. indeed, every couple of minutes this spanner spams all forums...
  19. Admin, hallooooooo....
  20. WTF?
  21. WTF up with all these spam posts? has the Hub been hacked?
  22. initially I wanted to go for the 30mm ones, but like I said, Im not a trail rider, I have a hardtail and most of my rides involve long days out with a little bit of singeltrack towards the end. Im too old and too scared to go jumping, so I reckon 25mm is going to be ok for me. I asked Wayne and he reckoned my choice sounds about right. Also consider that my current wheels are the stock Merida Comp 19mm rims, so I reckon the jump to 25mm is going to be LEKKKKKKERRRRRRRRRRRRR
  23. pulled the trigger, Wayne says I'll have my wheels around Tuesday I decided to go for the 25mm ones, basically I reasoned that Im not trail riding, mostly XC type riding. Also, he doesnt have stock of the 30mm hoops.
  24. haha... ja look Quintus wasn't himself there for a week or 2. shame he just turned 2, so he is still young. i took him with when we put Xena to sleep, some say that is a good idea, it helps the process, im not sure if it did. but now he has become a bit more relaxed, very demanding tbh. if i ignore him he grabs me by the arm, little bastard's got some power already haha
