but....but....but....it's not Friday yet

Eish man, sorry to hear. Luckily insurance is there but still not nice. Maybe post some photos for the guys to look out for.

I went with Japanese names for my cats. They always sound interisting. I'd suggest Mitsuko, which means light,child or shining, child.

There is a 350mm total 100mm drop version of the Supernatural. Or just go for a reverb or xfusoon

Depends on what you mean there.....if you mean buying locally pretty sure they don't have a distributor this side. If you mean buy locally produced products then .......lol.

One of the bands I grew up with, find myself lately listening more and more to music from that time, The Offspring, Gorillas, Stereophonics, not the best or deepest lyrics but that.....energy as you call it. One of my favourites lately: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iODSZL7XkQ

Theoretically, and someone should correct me if I'm wrong. It should work for up to 9 speed as the pull ratio's were the same up until then according to what I understand. Another ludicrous option might be to stick on a road bike STI if the pull ratio's are the same for road and MTB Or, friction shifters, since they don't really care which side they are. http://static.jensonusa.com/images/Default-Image/Zoom/887/SL400A02.jpg

Theoretically yes I suppose, it'll be upside down but with the rapidfire+ multi release you'll stll be able to push to downshift put an awkward pull for upshift.... Best option would be a sram gripshift option, worst that could be is the wrong way around.

Lol funny but... You have never seen a Yorkie demoer in have you......mine charge two Boerboels and came out with a little scrape, also regularly terrorises the cats because he's faster than them.

Yup, doing the 40km.

Suppose it's time I added my little one. He may look like a rat but he has the heart of a Lion. Love him to bits.

Lol. Love that pic. Nope no annoyance at all. The time factor explains everything then, makes it valid.

So in other words you're comparison is quite pointless......

Like so? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ds17MDRB2DE

Not at all sir. Sure we can still get a 26" vs 29" debate, Avid VS Shimano or one of the others in here. Or perhaps it's time to figure out which seatpost diameter is best. I vote for 31.6mm

Even worse on runners, almost klapped a guy last night in North Riding, running into traffic on a narrow road with zero reflective or lit up anything and wearing all black. Deathwish much?!?!?!

Who says violence doesn't solve anything.....

Seems they are breaking perfectly. But braking not so much.

This man has a point. Also there is a new Silverback slider on the way. Might be worth waiting to check those out.

So how much time do you have. This could get verrrrrry long. Pedals are very subjective and everybody likes their brand. A very good option to start with are the Shimano M520 (No platform) or the M530(With Platform). They feel great, can use multi release cleats that release easier than normal while learning and are by all accounts bulletproof. I started with the M530 as I like the little buffer if I struggle to clip in. Price is also great at under R500. EDIT: For the second part of your question, I only recieved great service from Epic Cycles(CNR Jean and Lenchen), although you can do the setup yourself, very easy. For Cranbrothers I'll let someone else comment as I never used them.

If i have my freds right. Nope, new F8. Beauty

Bit of reverse googling led me to: http://www.essentracomponents.co.za/tube-connectors?gclid=Cj0KEQjw06GfBRCR9tDI4t6n5_MBEiQAFo6kuEZYNPNhA8cw6OKvjMfNlpbsJupFLdHyxVnjicw6MEMaAhM08P8HAQ They might have those.

Got to agree. My local shop as well. Always awesome and friendly service. And best of all you feel welcome spending R10 or R10000 there.

Pick and pay bottle stores as well. And good old Makro.

Previous boss of mine did it with a laptop. Saw it fly off, then proceeded to drive over it somehow.....
