  1. No one?
  2. Sweet. Give me some time to build up some fitness, just got back on the beast after 2 weeks being sick. You know how slow I am...lol
  3. Hubbers, Had a chat to Rapide about what it will take to produce some overdrive 2 stems in the 45mm and/or 60mm versions as currently you can't get less than 60mm stem for the Giant Overdrive 2 system. I know they dropped the overdrive from 2015 but I am sure there are riders that would like such stems that have the overdrive 2 systems. So, what will it take for them to produce these stems? Approx. 100-200 pre-orders at a price of around R700 is what it will take to make it worthwhile. This would also include any international buyers that will be interested. It would be easier if they produce one length, say the 45mm. Who would be interested in these stems? I certainly would be. If hubbers are part of any international forums then perhaps they could share this and get some more demand. Here is the design they have:
  4. Barrys point and Genet part of the Blue route? Where is it and how tough is it?
  5. Entered...for the win :-)
  6. She's' now in all the Appropriate threads I think: Trance Advanced
  7. Well Done Uni. I must get out to BRB sometime. That drop, was it big?
  8. Beautiful morning at Thaba Trails. Today i conquered Yafta, did it all without stopping but still coast slowly between sections to catch my breath :-). Theres a switchback berm at the forest section at the end thays suoer awsome if you rail it lekker. Trying to nail it wothpugjt feathering the brakes.
  9. Will make sure i bring the full body armour kit, full helmut and some air bags for the bike...hahahaha..god forbid the bike gets broke.
  10. What will happen after i take the jump is high fives, smiles, gloating, admiration....etc...will then teach you how to do it....lol
  11. Ah yes, i know that section well...always stop to look at it and think to myself i should try it one day..dont think that day will ever come.
  12. Wow, thats stunning.
  13. Giant Trance Advanced
  14. Honestly, that's really nothing major at all. A few cosmetic things but still exactly the same. Will never buy this thing again as the one side broke after a soft fall and the other just went missing.
  15. Had these yesterday. The weis was very fruity, didnt like it too much but the Butcher Block was really lekker. Had a sweetness to it but good bitterness.
  16. Haven't managed to read through all the pages but want some advice on what I am thinking of. We pay for DSTV premium, R800 a month. We watch the following: * Probably about 2 hours a day during the week. Generally Mnet 101..americas got talent...those sort of talent shows . We watch no series at all. Just don't get into them. Some discovery. We got to bed fairly early, around 09:30 (new born in the house). After kids are bathed and sleeping and dinner is done we sit down about 20:00-21:00 watching Tely but really chat in-between, get up to see to the kids if they crying...etc. Our 2 year old likes Cbeebies but watches for a bit and then off to play with her toys. * Weekends - Saturday sport if there is something I fancy like the championship rugby now but that really it. Don't watch soccer and watch some UCI stuff when its on. Sundays we watch cart blanche and the Sunday movie. A few things here and there on the weekends. I am now tossing with the idea of getting Rid of TV altogether and saving the R800 but not sure if I would manage to do that. We tried once for a week but failed and put the TV on but it was really more for the background noise that was missing although we had the radio/music on but felt a bit odd. Who has got rid of TV altogether and what is your experience? just don't know what to do on this one as its a waste of money for what we watch but also a little vice as a go to "cheap" form of entertainment.
  17. Yeah, general riding for sure. Need to spend some time setting that baby up properly. Thanks
  18. The Trance came with a fox float x which is awsome. Set it the normal way, 20% sag. Is that right? Do i need to run more air in it? So many thinfs to set and adjust on the thing...lol

    Who remembers?

    Yoh, I played this so much at school. it was the coolest game ever. Also have a stack of cards with a few rare ones that are in some covers specifically for them.
  20. Yup, been battling with this for a few days now and its moved to my chest.
  21. Ouch...you are trying hard enough thats for sure :-).
  22. Yup...snotty, sore throat, headaches, stuffy nose....etc...got it from the wife who in tern gave it to both kids then onto me...bleh
  23. I saw a pair at Due South a while back at Eastgate shopping center I think it was.
  24. Agree. you just moving the water around really and when it rains the garden gets water and the pool start to fill. That is why I think a jojo is prime so you have water when there is no rain for a while saving on using the municipal water. I too have no money at the moment...had a few priorities...new MTB tyres...lol
