  1. We took a drive with the family this morning - quite a few cyclists out and about in the strong south easter. Lots of cops and law enforcement personnel too. We were somewhat amazed watching a cyclist being pulled over and reprimanded for not having his buff pulled up in Kalk Bay. Two kite boarders at Misty Cliffs were having a jol. Surfer at Kommetjie was reprimanded by a policeman upon his exit from the water. All other beaches seemed quiet apart from a few guys fishing or pumping prawns here and there.

  3. I just finished watching this - seldom that a 2nd season is as good, if not better than the first. Having said that, they certainly dialled up the fight scenes and body count. (that's not what made it better IMO)
  4. The next 10 episodes of Vikings is about to drop
  5. Also a slow moving story, but enjoyable and well done. By slow moving, I mean you could tell the story in a few short sentences. But it's about how the story is told that is what makes it a good movie. (A bit like 1917)
  6. I thought it was OK, but then again, I wasn't concentrating too hard. I suppose that it did go on a bit.
  7. Just saw a 'wanted' advert for a 'Seat Pin' . And it wasn't for a retro bike so that it matches his 'Goose Neck'. He is wanting a carbon fibre aero seat post (or even seat mast as some brands call it)
  8. What size tyres are you running ? I see that your bike is an XR2 - TDN's post is very relevant. My 2013 Giant TCR struggled with 25mm GP4000's - they seem to run pretty fat on my American Classic Argent. Strangely, 28mm Giant Gavia tyres had more clearance.
  9. Yep. This was great. Really enjoyed it
  10. Got this queued for the next movie night (This should be in the movie thread, not TV shows... )
  11. That's all fine, but draw the line at wearing Crocs with socks...
  12. Guns ? This is a new crowd then
  13. Secret socks! Call the fashion police!
  14. It's a 26" fork and has become a bit of a reluctant mascot / lurker on BikeHub classifieds https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/mountain-bike-forks/444/mtb-fork-tange-1-chrome-moly-26
  15. Danny Macaskill says: 'Challenge Accepted'
  16. Kudos to the cyclist for fighting back and not losing anything, and to the white Corolla who stopped to help. (Although hand to hand combat is not the method most of us could/should employ - it does require a bit of skill and practice and there is usually a very clear winner and loser)
  17. Pretty keen to go there right about now...
  18. I wonder where the end up ? Malawi, like our stolen bikes ?
  19. There is a guy selling screw on blocks https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/vintage-components/438332/screw-on-blocks
  20. Lots of options, but depends on your budget. This looks like a nice set-up: https://www.gumtree.co.za/a-coffee-makers/strand/ultimate-home-espresso-setup/1008509974170911116805109
  21. Does anyone know of a place that sells ACME cups (at a better price than Yuppiechef or Truth coffee)? I would like to get 2 latte cups - the cappuccino ones I have are sometimes a tad small.
  22. It took a long time for him to get to this point though. Some never did, while others got there a lot sooner.
  23. Digging up an old thread to bury this guy for good Riccardo Riccò handed lifetime doping ban “I was a talented little bully, an idiot who threw away money and a career" https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/riccardo-ricco-handed-lifetime-doping-ban/
