I just made a mess in my pants http://www.bikeradar.com/mtb/news/article/stans-notubes-valor-carbon-wheelset-introduced-38264/

Try Eddie Lambert's "Be your own personal trainer book" has all types of core, strength and plyometric exercises in it explained (sections on bosu balls, therabands etc) with images and levels together with programs for different levels put together so you can start with easy and progress to extra hard, which is doing push-ups with your feet on medicine balls and hands on another You can get one at Sportsman's.

Whoop!

Love the kid "You should learn some manners"

May be something to look in to. A few questions: Do 5 guys get on the podium at Enduros? How's the racing calender like? Exposure in the media for Enduro? What are you doing for the sponsors other than results?

Mag hy lank sit!

Not readlly EDC but I do use them most days.

Yeah we're cool like that Glad you are OK and heel up soon. Should show this to my fellow trail runners that always moan about compulsory kit. With situations like this and another guy falling in a race in CT and having to wait 3 hours to be carried off the mountain you know why! Now I wonder if the MTB'ers at KK will stop asking us if we lost our bikes...

Go ride them if you can, need to keep geometry in mind and also you need to like what you are buying at the end of the day.

I R havings it alls yes. Just been to lazy to backflush, need to do it at some point, probably next weekend.

Yes needs a flush as it has a 3 way valve. Mine did not come with a blind basket. Descaling there doesn't seem to be an easy way as there is now water spout, or what V12?

Go check on online coffee shop they are all there under accesories. Pallo make a nice group brush. Or just get toothbrush or similar sure that will work for the time being. Brew Tool is nice, comes in a pouch too. Doesn't fit the basket perfectly on the Oscar but I guess for that money QC on the size is not so good. So you miss the sides as it is smaller than the basket. But I just scoop out the sides with the tamper to sort it out or you can tamp around the edges. Tamper, Tamper mat (I like the once with an edge that fits the side of the counter so it stays put in front of the machine) Knock box ( I like the Grindenstein on Yuppiechef), Detergent and blind filter (via online coffee shop), grouphead brush (pallo). some microfiber cloths(Makro bulk pack), jugs (makro has steelking, get the small one it's perfect for one or 2 capps), cups (Cafe culture from Maxwell williams), small counter brush (crazy stores has a scoop and brush combo), gram scale (Salter at Boardmens). Remember a timer. also those white and blue mesh cloths work well for the milk wand. Grinder brush and cleaner. Milk thermometer. Lots of milk and beans. Shot glasses with measurment lines so you can check your pulls (online coffee shop)

IMO unless you are looking at buying the top shelf carbon frame one of the top brands like Scott, Cannondale or Spez you are wasting money, rather get better performing parts and a quality alu frame. for example my carbon medium 26" Zaskar frame weighs 1500g, same as a large 29" alu cannondale flash frame from 2012.

Cadence - China special from New World. Rather get one that can take AA/AAA batteries, the watch ones are stupid to replace, the coffee sites stock such a white timer. or use an app on your phone. Oscar comes with a plastic tamper, OK but not ideal. I bought a basic Brew Tool for R400 from onlinecoffeshop. Stainless/Alu combo. It's nice and hefty over 500g, they have cheaper Alu ones but not worth the money IMO. You need a 58mm base.

Gotten bored of running the Black Route at Kings, but I hear they are extending it to 30-35km?

So What is this Nespresso you speak of?

I agree Aeropress is better here, otherwise french press and in my opinion lastly Moka pots. Do buy a grinder for it, there are hand models that grind consistently for the Aeropress and don't take too long. Check out moreflavour.co.za I've got an entry level machine and grinder for sale if espresso is more your thing though.

2 GT Zaskars on my name, they say it's the clear coat but on carbon no one got time fo that!

What grinder is that GB?

There was a Trigon with a snapped top tube if I remember correctly

Should be a few rands over 10K for the Oscar, go for it! Grinder wise the Mazzer sounds great, is that the electronic version? They seem a bit expensive for me though, would rather go with the doser model or a Kompak K3

I page through them in the CNA - Trail mag, Ride etc. Personally don't find enough content in there to be of value to me to purchase any of the mags.

Rather donate the fine money to Choc

About 3,5 ex for the Grinta. 12,5 incl now for the Oscar and Grinta special.

http://onlinecoffeeshop.co.za/products/compak/coffee-grinders/compak-k3-touch-chrome-coffee-grinder is a good option Rouxtjie, as well as the mazzer mini and K6
