It depends what you're trying to achieve. Aquaseal is the stuff I use for fixing neoprene feet on waders, but if you want a big tube of it, you need to buy it online. Otherwise, Frontier Fly Fishing, in Peter Place, Bryanston.

Northwold, I'll ride when I can. PM me...

I rode it for the first time yesterday, from the Emerentia to William Nicol. I got good Strava times for a first go. Nice ride... Learnt that need to figure a different route to the it, or maybe get soft and drive there first. Nah, I'll harden up...

11km, 190m up, first 2km is flatfish, then no break in the up, till right at the office. Home is steep up for 1km, then almost all down... I have learnt to pace myself going up, And how to be faster going down, need to keep up with the cars otherwise they push you off the tricky bits. So I go fast enough to fit into the traffic.

All though this is not the exact article, sorry I can't find it, but an image is worth, as you know, a lot... http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-us/technology/tech27-5/94/ I really think the images helped. I would go along the lines of these images, showing the attack angle, giving the pro's and con's. A simple board, with the correct, unbiased info, and allow the customer to enter into the sales conversion informed. It does not have to be a huge thing, but knowing the retail spaces they are looking to put this in, there is an opportunity to have it stand aside and be a feature. However, is there an arterial motive, eg, the brands that they retail, do not have the 650b's in their line up? no names mentioned. Sorry, retail is a funny thing, often the product you have in stock, is the "best of breed" only because you are out of stock of the other one... Anyway, once again, MHO.

No dude! Sorry man that is such a pity! Hope it comes home.

What he said...

R45 is a very good price, I would expect to pay more. 2 camera set up, even at reduced rates is going to be in the R100k range, body and decent lense, R30k, need 2 at least. Decent PC and software R20k, cards, spare battery, tripods, bags, etc... So 2500 odd pics pays for the hardware, then there are travel costs, accommodation, etc... And then he has to make a living. If it's a good pic, then R100 is about right. Anyway, MHO.

Ok, so I'm new to this, rode lots when things were simple, but catching up fast... I like the copy, but I don't think it does the bikes justice. By telling people that the 29'er is the most sought after size is not how I would like to be informed. When I was trying to figure this stuff out I was lucky enough to find an online write-up that was very informative and incredibly well layed out. It explained everything from roll angle to cornering and what they are good at. I bought a 650b, I wanted the performance, and was prepared to forfit some 29'er roll benefits. The 26'er is not for me. Anyway. MHO

Just one climb, but it means a lot to me... And if anyone has riden it. I want to know more... http://www.strava.com/routes/177548

Glad you are OK...

This is a great thread, will be watching it...

Yip, agreed. Inexpensive helmet and loose strap. Also just checked, that peak doesn't just pop off, my bad. He'll be OK, hell most of us grew up in the eara before helmets were the norm, and some of us are OK'ish...

So my first post, been lurking for a week or so. Here's my son after a fall. He landed literally head first, no hands, his head was the first thing to hit the ground. Admittedly, he had loosened his helmet stap slightly, but the peak on the helmet pushed the helmet backwards and here's the result. Can't straighten pic from phone...
