  1. Thats good advice, damn. Thanks. Now i want to go fish
  2. Ja thats a nice combo. Was at the vaal this weekend with some mates, took the rod with, while we were braaing I quickly threw some line, but I gave up quickly because I had no idea what I was doing and it just didnt feel right, also packed in the wrong line. Going to do some proper research next time and be back soon for those yellows
  3. Pleasure. The sensation is a good buy.
  4. They say carp is insane, gets you onto your backing in a matter of seconds. Its my next goal
  5. http://www.flyloops.net/latest.php You can have a look on there, people sell stuff there too. You can check under trade, there is a map with shops on, so you can choose the place closest to you. I know there were some xplorer had a combo, rod reel, line for something like R600 each. There was also a sensation symnphony combo at a similar price. Nice beginner sets within your price range. You can buy 2 combos for you and the lady http://www.xplorerfl...ing.co.za/rods/ http://www.fanaticfi...hony-combo.html
  6. Well you could feel the cross winds more. And it looks like it puts a weird balance on the back. You dont want lots of weight far back on your bike, you want it low and center. i think it will feel weird in the beginning but you probably get used to it.
  7. Seems like a lekker project. My dad built a bike trainer back in his cycling days. Will try remember to get a pic o fit this weekend. but the roller one looks like a nice project and I'm sure i have all the materials lying around at home
  8. This is awesome! the hub needs more good news like this.
  9. With a garbage bag converted rain jacket pulled over my chest and bag. Smaller p'np bags to cover the smaller things in the bag such as laptop, phone, memory sticks, book or two, etc. Water proof everything with them, then lights on, and push that pedal hard. I keep a few of these bags with me, for this reason.
  10. Jip get the CM's involved
  11. Jip only those brands that will be representing themselves. There are the shops that sell branks asg - pinarello, larc - fuji's (I look forward to this I will be the one slowly walking away with a Fuji when no one is looking ) and solomons, etc that will have some stuff
  12. Maybe I am missing something, but it doesn't look like specialized will be there? - I was hoping for some lekker specials

    Pump track

    You can always approach the scouts in that area. they are required to do community projects and that sort of thing in order for them to get advancements in scouting. Ask them if they can help. Cheap labor and its win win.
  15. http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/Shoot-out-on-Johannesburg-highway-20131022 this makes me mad. we get shot at and mugged, the police respond by placing a car at the hotspot for 30min once a week. but check how many police are at this scene, what are they all doing?
  16. There was a guy stabbed earlier this week, and a guy shot at this morning, same are, if im not mistaken. Why is no one doing anything about this?
  17. How I met your mother Modern Family The Mentalist The Big Bang theory
  18. Its crazy that we have to go through so much effort just to pick up a sticker that says im doing marathon/half marathon and what batch im in. I mean, if they send us which batch we are in and the time we start, why do we need to put a sticker on to show everyone that you are in batch x. The chip in the board will come up in their system, so if i start early it can DQ me, they dont check everyones stickers at the start line to see if you are in the correct batch. And its not like those goodies are worth the drive either.
  19. Are there any fish in those dams that is see on the map? I remember riding passed a smallish dam and tried to check for any activity. possible to fish if there are any fish? catch and release only
  20. Jip very helpful, I have been in there a few times, good service.
  21. SECURITY AND START TIME <- needs attention. Security, um, 2 big items stolen(bike and bakkie) at first event there, totally bad luck and not good rep. I am not blaming this entirely on Hakahana as these things can get stolen ANYWHERE, but an up in TRUSTWORTHY security will do good Times, adventurance, saseeding, or whoever organizes these things, lets get these races started earlier in the HOT summer days. Graspolle - there wasnt much, but still it was unpleasant, I too dont enjoy riding over it on ht, my suggestion is that the st riders take one for the team and ride them out or us? ok thanks
  22. I duno hey, for me it was a little bit better that VG, I was able to ride out all the mountains(dismounted once or twice due to riders stopping in front of me, but I got back on and continued). Way less rocks that VG - much more forgiving to my back and bike. Set a better time than VG.
  23. FLIP, nice, but how do you sit on the saddle and hold the handlebars at the same time?
  24. What about the guys that leave their phones in their cars or such? - im not trying to make issues, its just a reality too
