Which SS? I see there's a 2.5WT version now. Most comments I've seen on the 2.3 SS suggested they're not suited to wider rims which squares off the tread area bringing the side knobs into contact on straight lines.

Blackwood is lighter and looks more like kiaat. As mentioned, that's most likely imbuia (typical of that era with yellow wood), or stinkhout (if if was slightly lighter).

Also managed to catch some reflections as the wind was almost nonexistent this weekend. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Soon there will be different versions; 3mm flexx for XC, and 10mm flexx for enduro, then there will be aftermarket damper upgrades, until we go full enduro with coils and piggybacks for our handlebars.

I would experience the same problem as that car.

[emoji1360] Don’t know, but the correct name is a houndstooth dovetail...I think. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks, they took quite a bit of time. I used steamed Beech, and some walnut for contrast. The top is only attached to the 4 legs with through tenons that are wedged in. The walnut piece is only glued at the front/dovetail and bolted at the rear with the hole oversized. Hopefully the only movement in the top will only be in the vertical plane. Yes, and a lefty.

Let’s revive this thread a bit. My new workbench is almost done; https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180625/5a9141cc39b2b417d0c26cb6a5bfaa54.heic https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180625/4c56d2c7e403543d8a3c778f398ec747.heic Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice. Seen some of these new routes. Can’t wait for more variety since the black route’s closure. When are you guys going to build a trail all the way to the top of Groenberg, with a few dh lines running all the way from the top to the bottom? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yup, lamest thing I've heard next to vaping. Who's the winner in such a race, Duracell or Bosch? Obviously not the wuss on the bike. Next we're going to read complaints of losers whining about people cheating in these races due to e-doping.

Do you even lift, bro?

Fark!!! how did I miss that Rocket???

Kinda have my eye on their 29er; http://bikemtb.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Ibis-Ripmo.jpg

If it came with Rockshox suspension, would it have been called Roxy? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The new Formula's might just be what I need, but September is still far and Hopes are available in purple.

Haha, passive aggressiveness being displayed there. I get removed from her profile pics.

Nice one, Haven't seen other people do the snake coals locally. Also made it this way on my sister's Weber once. Must say, I'm a convert - getting a Weber one of these days.

I kinda like this new development of having enduro races in more 'obscure' areas. The ones on the usual trails do not appeal so much to me. But this, Ezel and Kingdom certainly has a freshness to it.

Ah, and there lies the cause of it all. Settling down; It's just an euphemism for "I've either become too comfortable in this relationship, or fear of ending up alone one day." Comfortable in settling for the wrong woman, while you could've done better, but going out and finding that person was too much effort at the time, and while all your mates abandoned you (by getting married) on your conquests, the pressure to follow suit and fear of ending up alone one day was probably too much. That's why you see men get fat and useless after 30, and then when divorce day comes, it's new hair cuts, and back to the gym, and if the divorce settlement wasn't too rough on the finances, a new fancy car. Men are only to blame for themselves for this monogamous con.

Let's hope you're not just one of the lucky ones then. [emoji1303] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Apparently since the takeover by adidas, 5-10's quality has seen a drop. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Has their quality issues been resolved? My adidas trail cross shoes are slowly losing little chunks on the sole, and will need to look at replacements. 2FOs or 5-10s seem like the only options locally. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Judging by the quality of his joinery/cutting and the dimensions of the wood (Beech is also very strong), that chair should be plenty strong.

Moisture and paint don't go together, be it walls or wood. I'm pretty sure there'll be enough days without rain to allow it to dry out, unless the deck is in one of those shady/damp corners. You can treat the wood with PCP (pentachlorophenol) that would help prevent any rot in the meantime.
