JCA12

Had it from a group of about 20 riders. Appeared to be mix BL and CL. Tried to force me and a kid further left - we were already in the emergency lane. The poor kid got quite nervous. Not very nice guys.

Got a new rod and reel over December. Scott E2 9foot 6 weight with Xplorer Guide 3. Much faster and stiffer rod than my old Stealth. Went fishing last month near Dullstroom. No trout, but over 25 bass over a weekend.

That's strange. I was put into EL with a 41 seeding. But I'm going to drop to the shorter one at registration. Not ready for 98 km yet.

Dam that's impressive points guys. On 27 000 points now. Still have a way before Gold

As far as I know, there's no more team reward. Replaced with surprise rewards. 3x goals in a row will get you a surprise reward.

Enjoy flyfishing, do a fair bit of target shooting and clay pigeon shooting. Getting into kite flying (not kite surfing yet) - not the easiest in JHB but on the beach on holiday

Thanks for the Tip. Will try in a Mokka Pot.

Made an awesome cuppacino this morning. Black Insomnia beans ground with Rhino compact handgrinder. Used an Aeropress with Able standard metal filter. Really enjoying the Aeropress with the Able filters.

Awesome fun riding at the Scott Test Day. The new bikes are seriously impressive. Tested out 2017 Scott Spark RC Pro, Spark 910 920 and Genius 720 Plus. The RC Pro is very light and quick. The new 910 and 920 Sparks were great fun to ride. And the Genius 720 Plus was seriously impressive. The 2.8 tires had crazy grip. Thanks to Scott for a great test day. Now to look at my finances...

Hi guys. Haven't found much info on the net regarding this so was wondering if anyone here has an answer. I have a discovery medical aid, with Vitality. I havent signed up for a gym yet. I hear that the Sports Science Institute in Cape town is affiliated with Discovery, with membership for sports science being Discounted. Do the same rules for Virgin Active/planet fitness apply for sports science, I.e. 100points for going to gym etc. In addition, does the gym booster benefit also apply (the up to 100% discount for meeting goals) If this is correct, would Sports Science be a better option than Virgin Active in Claremont.

yup that's the one. Been open for about 2 weeks now.

no sorry. the slip is at my flat. will send name when i get back but may be a while

I bought a set of craft elite bibs from a new shop in access park kenilworth. Some good opening specials specials there. The elites were R 500 each. They also stock MET helmets.

I've also got these pedals. They are really great. Just watch those edges on the outside of them when you put your foot out. They are rather sharp - i have a few cuts on my legs from them. They have been rounded off on some rocks so not so sharp any more. But otherwise great pedals.

New XT brakes from Chris Willemse Cycles - awesome special at R 2000 for the set. And got an XT Rotor for R 400. Awesome Birthday present from parents

a 5 or 7 degree rise will make almost no difference to the height of the bars at 70 mm. If my maths are correct, there will be a 1.2mm height difference at 70 mm going up to a 7 degree rise. At 7 degrees i would look at the Funn Stryge stem from performance bikes. R 290 for (in my opinion) a good looking stem

New Bar and Stem from Performance Bikes Funn FlameOn Bar - 710mm flat bar with 9 degree backsweep Funn Stryge Stem - 80 mm with 7 degree rise

Specialized captain control on the back with a ground control up front. I've had no problems with this combo on my 26er

2011 Specialized Rockhopper Sl. Slx and Xt groupset with Dt 445d rims on specialized hubs, Juicy 3 SL brakes and 2010 SID XX fork. Lots of fun. After a bit of a muddy ride. Don't have better pics at the moment.

Ok thanks. Then to answer OP - if he is considering doing races where a map is needed - rather go 500 or 510 in case. Edit: it seems you can actually import maps (according to crimson wolf).

Can the garmin 200 be used for races that are self-navigation, e.g. The dusi2C?

Ok well then my mistake. I have only used the standard shimano ones. I just thought that there would be a problem with stuff sticking into them.

I'm concerned with those hollow ones. You could potentially catch a stick in them and it could break them. I think they are designed mainly for road cycling.

Ground control 2.1 is only 45 grams more than the 2.0 fast trak (in 26inch). I would look at getting 2 ground controls (I feel more in control with more grip at the back)
