    O fk.

    I have for years. Never a problem. Read years ago that Geoff Kabush does it, and he isn't a small chap. If is works for him, guess what.

    Nicest thing is the paintjob.

    Who says he supported what was happening at the campuses?

    Ok yes on that aspect I agree. I was more talking about the actual tracking. So yeah if you are out in the boendoes without reception a cell won't help you - even though your cell might still have GPS coverage.
  6. TheJ
    Had to give it back after the event. But this is not something to track yourself with - and see it tracking you. We used it for the people at home to follow you online. Depending on the quality and technology advances in individual GPS chips... for me GPS is GPS. Good old SportsTracker on my S4 has never let me down.

    As far as I know, GPS isn't dependant on the cell having a signal. In the same trail run I was using a cell based app as well and even in the most remote parts of the park with no cell reception the GPS still kept running. The phone might not be able to download the "map", but if you are following a set route like I was, it works.

    Used one of these (orange one) for the Addo 100 Miler trail run earlier this year. Worked 100%. Was out in the wilderness for over 30 hours and the battery didn't run down.

    Why is he going under Dave and not David? Trying to go incognito?

    Please provide some names! I recently brought in a 100 items but the seller suggested to split the items over 7 individual parcels to try get them through customs quicker/cheaper. Of the 7 parcels, 4 of them had a levy of R40.26, and 3 had a levy of R101.32. The parcels were identical in side, weight, content, etc. I mailed SARS/Customs and was told they had different codes. I think the 7 parcels were just processed on different days and whoever was at the computer that day, processed them different to the guy that put the R40.26 levy on most of them. Very inconsistent.

    I'm probably the most unsympathetic person on the planet. But seeing someone close to me go through rehab (different kind of addiction) and how they are trying to stay on the path makes me respect the effort they are putting in. I'd say give this guy the benefit of the doubt, for now. It did take a big man to step up on a public forum and ask forgiveness. Clearly it is one of the steps he has to go through on the road back to the straight and narrow. If after this he screws up or screws someone again - throw him to the wolves.

    Agree. Reviewed one looks like an enduro bike. Retail ons looks proper XCO/Marathon.

    R82k. Ag no. I give up. Thank goodness I bought (read: Imported) my current frame and parts a few years ago. Someone is getting shafted - and I think it's the consumers.

    Well that would be k@k. And very unfair. 230km through Baviaans is 230km through Baviaans. If that's the case I'll flog my spot on the 1st weeks team.

    There has to be a certain level of crazy to strap on a bomber jacket. And I don't mean the ones with the orange on the inside that highschool kids wore 20 years ago.

    "I have been a professional mountain biker since 2003, ridden the biggest events in the world and had many highs and lows. Tuesday’s news came as an all-time low in my career. What my teammate did was wrong and for that he will face the relevant punishment, as he was prepared to face by his own admission. - Kevin Evans

    And taxi drivers drive like douches because the taxi owners pressure them to get certain numbers, and not because the taxi drivers are assholes themselves.

    Got an entry for the 2nd Baviaans. Would be my 9th one. Then came across a guy unable to attend the 1st one. So, grabbed his spot. So this year, double Baviaans, No 9 and 10 done. Going to get my 2nd Baviaans Shield

    Rule of thumb? I only know one rule of thumb. http://strahbarysfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/rule-of-thumb.gif

    What kind of sanction/ban is that then?
  24. TheJ
    Till when is she sanctioned?

    Or, buy a set of AM Classic Wide Lightening wheels, just about giving you Plus width tyres - for under R10k.
