Rata Del Spruit

Not really. Possible reasons people might not greet: 1) they're pushing hard and they're too shattered to say howzit. 2) they tried to say hello but discovered their throat was parched when nothing came out. 3) they were deep in thought wondering if they had remembered to turn off the gas braai before they left. 4) they're doing a mental rerun of the argument they had with their SO the previous night and wondering howcome they had to sleep on the couch. 5) you actually have a face like a mugger but nobody's told you. 6) one of your breasts is sticking out and they were too embarrassed to look at you. 7) they did but you didn't notice. 8) they're extremely shy. 9) they're a bit of a dick. Reasons he didn't help: 1) to be a dick.

We'd battle sneaking that amount onto the souther section of the Spruit, maybe a cube at a time would work, but we could definitely do with loads of those at the Scout Hall section of the Spruit in Bryanston.

So you're basically saying your niceness works as a rewards programme rather than as your own internal principle on how to treat others? Who you are is determined by the way other people act?

Thanks for the help, Hennie. Busy retaping the rim as the old integrated valve tape had torn and was leaking. Going to try the insulation tape/stans tape/standard valve combo and see if that works on these rims.

So you guys recommend leaving all this stuff as is? Should I remove the tacky bits stuck to the bead?

Thanks guys. Yeah, Hennie, I was worried about whether mixing sealant was an issue. I'll give it a good rinse.

No, also a tubeless conversion. I'm removing the worn rear tyre and replacing it with the newer front tyre and then installing a brand new UST on the front. I'm just unsure if I need to clean the tyre and rim again before trying to reinstall it on the rear rim.

Is there anything I need to do when moving a tubeless tyre to a new rim? It's a Maxxis High Roller on a tubeless conversion rim. I'm not sure what sealant was used previously but I'm using Stans. Will I need to clean out the tyre and the rim and reseal?

TBH, I would have flipped the bird too. If you want to instruct random strangers what to do, expect an obnoxious response.

It's a hard spend when you're living on the breadline, though. It would be nice if hubbers helped out by donating their old helmets.

Hahaha, so that's a universal truth then…

It also irritates me that none of the other cyclists wear name badges.

I still can't figure out how he did that.

They liked concussion way before it was mainstream and Smashed Brains on The Pavement is actually an electro-indie band that only plays down the abandoned brick factory on Wednesday nights. You've probably never heard of them. That said, riding along the promenade without a helmet is cool and should be attempted once in a while (the adrenaline of doing 5kph without a helmet is such a rush).

This idea should be explored over beers and Bundaberg.

I think I'll do night race, Enduro and Half.

Hey guys, trying to enter but all details are for the 2013 event and clicking on the event link encounters an error on the ROAG site.

I vote you stop ruining my lynch mobs with your calm reason. What the hell am I supposed to do with all these surplus pitchforks?

In fairness it's not that uncomfortable when it's only on for a minute. ????

We'd appreciate it if, once we've rebuilt the jump, all users could maintain a look of dreary solemnity so as not to alert her fun senses.

Is the soil still there? Can we rebuild?

I'm in the camp of make your own choices and stop worrying about others. Yes, I'll wear a helmet along the trail but sometimes I really enjoy a casual ride either to the office, around the parks or just practicing in the quiet street near my house without a lid on. Why? It just feels really great sometimes to muck about without gloves, glasses and helmet, etc. I understand that feeling comes with a slight safety risk but then so does wearing an XC or road helmet instead of a full face; you compromise a bit of safety for a bit of comfort and convenience.

I like your friend already. When can we collect soil?

The trail nazi. There's a granny that lives along there who makes it her personal mission (or more likely her gardener's) to remove any unsightly fun lumps that pop up.

No, from last week but I think we should maybe get another trailer or two down there again.
