They serve no ecological purpose, hence they'll not be missed and would be of no loss to nature.

Sorted, thanks. win win!

Paarl, but I suppose I can go ride Jonkers tomorrow and stop there afterwards.

You only live once man, add some colour while you're at it! Now I've another problem, need to find these Sram trigger clamps.

It's called Vegan propaganda. I've unfriended/unfollowed/blocked so many of these sheep on social media that spread this misinformation.

The pervert in me has no answer to that.

At last. [emoji7]

If only I can get those purple hubs in stock. Always one that's not in stock, be it only Shimano freehubs, or only 135 or boost spacing available. Also, if only my order can be delivered I can also boast about something for a change.

Get with the program man, and get that bike on the couch. Also, it's Magic Marys or Minions...or do you want Myles to come school you on that too?

Drawing that conclusion ( that plants have feelings) from that is just wrong. The logical explanation would be evolution favoured the survival of these trees that produced ethylene when tissue were damaged as well as those that responded to it. Ethylene is a plant hormone that serves many functions, including stimulating ripening of fruit as well as in this case where tissue is damaged. Tannins (phenolic compounds) are present in plants, and serves amongst other things to protect plants. Nothing supernatural about it.

Worth it?

This, discovered that on a trail-side fix (with bike upside down). Going down the trail was quite interesting. Sram/Avid gets a lot of flack for their reliability, however my experience with Shimano hasn't been any better. Inconsistent brake feel on longer descends, requiring bleeding every 3 months. Compared to Sram, I had more issues with them, but the bleeding process always yielded results whereas Sram, it requires a bit more effort to get them working properly again.

I personally think Rassie has been over-hyped. We started off the season playing okay-ish rugby that hinted of some potential, but with one aspect lacking, defense. Things took a turn for the worse when Nienaber came on board as defense coach - ironically it was the only part of our game that improved, and since then we've struggled to score tries. The win against NZ was more of a curse than anything, as it only bolstered the current game plan, giving it undeserved credit to carry on with the old kick and chase and tackle your own player to death. You have to be concerned for the players well-being, especially when a guy like PSDT makes almost as much tackles as the opposition team combined. We're not leaking too many points anymore, but along with it there is no intention for scoring points either. If Toetie's tenure at the Stormers proved anything as well is that defense is not going to win you any trophies, and I've always wondered how much of it was credit to Rassie's influence?

What makes graffiti special to call it art? It's average at best.

Looks cool if you're into vintage audio, but I doubt they were in the same league as Yamaha NS-1000.

I don’t know man, sometimes those ladies start moaning even before they’re screwed. [emoji851]

Looked at the meta tr 27 for a while, but I don't think shipping to SA is still an option since the ZA store. But it's the Alutech that has me weak in the knees.

So much jelly. Got my eye on an alloy monster as well, just holding out for the ZAR to make some sort of recovery.

Ahh, and the days when rotten.com still provided some thrills and entertainment.

I personally wouldn't buy any craft beer on sale. Most likely old stock close to expiry.

There might be some resistance from the current biking demographic. But I can only imagine that it's going to be a total hit with today's kids.

I honestly can’t see a reason for anything more expensive than those Makita mt trim routers.

Is it just me being out of the loop, or has this event's marketing been lacking? I'll be at there at the bike park on Friday morning, so will definitely drop in afterwards. Hopefully there'll be something to buy, and a bike to test.

Nah dude, there is certain responsibility involved when you have a ~80 kg dog that can inflict serious damage and death - even if you're Kobus Wiese you hardly stand a fighting chance against such a dog. Dogs are domesticated animals, ecologically so far removed, and have zero claim to any territory. Unless you're trespassing, the law is actually on your side and the liability is on the owner.
