  1. Skilled driver, or bleddie lucky? https://video-cdg2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hvideo-xaf1/v/t42.1790-2/11771904_934319943294146_2107099345_n.mp4?efg=eyJybHIiOjQ5MywicmxhIjo1MTIsInZlbmNvZGVfdGFnIjoic2QifQ%3D%3D&rl=493&vabr=274&oh=7267faefc0da925cb972175938bb3fab&oe=56A0E6C1
  2. Hectic. Had similar sections at Ashburton Clarens last year that was compulsory portages. I have to go and ride VG!
  3. Its Bon Accord. Not much to see there, no idea why you had to go through there. Very dodgy area. Anyway, very nice machine you got
  4. Awesome. Has so much in common with the real spez [emoji16] Plastic, soggy suspension, overall limp set-up. And the saddle angle is exactly how spez riders enjoy them [emoji23] ........ Just kidding admin. Nicely done
  5. I have/had the Xperia Z1 Compact. Nice camera, took amazing photos. But it is dead as a rock. After 12 months it won't charge... Using an old iPhone 4S now until I can get a new phone in August. My daughter (9years) took this one with the iPhone 4S earlier this year of a stray kitten that decided we would be the perfect servants.... http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/12/28/c5900f4638187155c24d3f6de84b44fd.jpg
  6. Well, who would've thought plastic would be the way to invest. Lego is the new gold... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/investing/11817380/Lego-a-better-investment-than-shares-and-gold.html
  7. Cornering when it is gravel on hard packed surface is a nightmare. As a rear, I find it to be good. The lust tech gives a proper sidewall - can run at fairly low psi. I have an extra crossmark that will go on rear but will have to put better xc tire ip front
  8. I am running Crossmark front and rear on my dual sus. Reliable and strong. Never had a cut. Plenty of sekelbos thorns, but seals pretty good. Cornering is a different story. Very unpredictable. Does the WTB offer the same sidewall protection?
  9. Definitely nothing awesome about it. Vicious and calculated on the part of the father, the cameraman and the other inciter. Purpose of making the video to show the girl? Any case, let's get back to cycling.
  10. Yoh! Where did you get this? A lot of questions and major concerns comes from this. The person recording this obviously knew it was going down - incitement of violence? Distribution of violent material? The attacker is incited and obviously primed to attack the guy. The inciter (girl's father?) faces some serious assault charges. Also for the attacker - some serious charges coming his way. If the girl was raped by an obvious very older guy, the necessary medical, and other, evidence should've been taken. He should rot in jail. But, I would have probably acted the same if I was the father. Sorry, let me rephrase, I will do the same. I just don't have a posse of wolves to do it for me...
  11. Most definitely. Have you seen their saddles! [emoji122]????[emoji122]????[emoji122]????
  12. As for me - a mtb'r, not a roadie, shouldn't the bar tape cover the risers? Yeah, the left is not aligned. Also, that white bit on the stem and handle will drive me insane....
  13. Howzit. Is this trail still open and accessible? How long is it now? Still safe to ride on your own? I haven't been up there for a very long time....
  14. Yeah. Also thought a kettie will be fine for my 6year old. He shot out my bakkie's canopy side window. Cost of one stone = R1250.00. Have to replace whole unit
  15. ???????????? nah, straight from the potato table.... EarthLax, PotatoLax Would probably be easiest measurable and quantifiable product to determine efficacy And they cannot bull**** the results..
  16. There is - called Brooklax. Can't afford to be flatulent once taken
  17. Yeah, being "chosen" as the "official" supplement sponsor validates all their claims. The general public (and some cyclists) will have a boosted confidence in the quality and effectiveness of USN. They were "chosen" for their quality of product - NO monies were (and are going to be) exchanged... BTW, I am sarcastic.... Anyone falling for this (usn and their marketing) codswallop deserves to be bloated and enjoy the gastric convulsions..
  18. I commute mainly on the side of the road on mtb. Most pedestrians/commuters have earphones in, connected to a cellphone or whatever. Approach them with caution - they are lost in their own little being and WILL jump into you just as you are next to them. Even if they don't have earphones, they don't know the meaning of a bell either. Lesson, stay away from them.
  19. Yoh, hectic crash. My guess is that that was a blind corner - coming around the previous slight bend to the right he did not expect a hairpin. And a total brain-fart speed added to the equation... Seems he tried catching the 3 or 4 riders directly in front of him. Ouch. Heal up well
  20. I went years without a medical aid. Fortunately never needed one for myself. But there is some level of anguish when your loved one needs medical assistance... In anycase, have a medical aid now. Went to casualty on saterday - my laaitie decided to split his finger with a hammer. He needed stitches. The doctor couldn't even spell the word "hammer". This was at a Netcare. His rendition "harmer"... (tried to upload photo of the guy's spelling, file to big - using tapatalk) Medical aid will not ensure that you get the sharpest pencil
  21. Good morning. Apologies in advance if this is not the place to ask/post..... I have kit - helmet (padding is done, slight scrape one side, shirts (too small, not worn) and bibs (used). Is there a place in Pta to donate to? Or anyone want? Thanks
  22. Nah. Did consider Aus a few years back after I was told in numerous job interviews something along "great qualifications and experience, but sorry, you are white." I am just saying city council doesn't give much attention to cleaning water ways, sewers, etc. Too many nasties that can cause longterm problems. Broken bones from falling on sludge, scrapes being infected, sewer water in your face and mouth. Can only imagine what else can happen. This urban race theme has been tried before in various ways, and failed. I give this another year or so and it will too.
  23. Damn expensive. 'New and improved.. Blah blah..' Marketing BS if you ask me. Didn't do it last time, will never. Playing in a dysfunctional city with a non-existing sewer system? No thanks. Like saying "here is your shot of heroine for 399, but don't worry, it is a new formula, you won't get any side effects...". All kinds of illnesses and infections to be had.
  24. Apologies then if I dared to offend one of thehub mafia... [emoji22] He should have chosen his words better
  25. That is a given that they are not in the same league. Few SA men will be able to keep up with Ariane. But, the opportunity to ride with someone of that ability would be amazing. My issue is with someone stating "she is going to k@k" on a public forum. Completely tasteless
