  1. Excuse the way this is posted, but felt belonged here
  2. There is a meat eating hubber who lives at WatervalBoven whose son is an accomplished knifemaker..... maar die man is ‘n bietjie stil......
  3. That No17 glue is the real deal, particularly if you use enough.....
  4. Monebikes.
  5. My favourite in that was the dog biscuits....made in a factory in Kokstad. There were days when you chowed everything and days when you hardly touched a thing....
  6. So it’s actually Clevelands, not Clydesdales! The honour of the working horse has been restored.
  7. And it also tames the owner.... My newest Opinel bit me a sh*t shot because I didn’t lock the blade......
  8. ...and how that relates to the gear ratios required, and tyre pressure, and whether the bicycle actually went there in the first place...One thing I know for sure is that I could get a “ debate” going ????
  9. The moon is flat, why would that bike need a Rohloff?
  10. Is the dark wood not Blackwood? Also, that is “gelooide” riem, it stretches and sags and ends up being a bit uncomfortable. Ideally the should have “rou riem’ (rawhide).
  11. Well done. Shoot the phuckers. ( In self-defence, of course)
  12. New serial number. Bigger, stronger numbers. Winning, always winning ????
  13. Only thing to remember about sealant i that it works best when it's inside your tyres. Having 40ml in your tyre and a bottle of the stuff in your cupboard ain't much use. A few grams of extra sealant ain't muc compared to the weight of your bike as you carry/push it home with a flat.... I guess that I put about 3 of those little Stans bottles per wheel (buy in bulk and use the little bottle to put it in through the valve). And keep it topped up, yes that too
  14. Just come across another one. Broken at 18 of the holes. Both drive and non-drive sides. Rider well within the weight limit.........
  15. I will happily do business with any company that responds directly to my queries!Thanks Andrew #howtobuildbrandloyalty
  16. ???? good to hear they being used and not lying in a box! I was thinking of adding them to my Peace 9r which has Avid Arch Rivals. Thanks anyway
  17. Do you still have those Ultra levers? I have plan for them if you do????Trade for something?
  18. Only online or are they at shops? You have PM
  19. When I built up our Mercer tandem, I did the same. Two 9spd XT cranksets on the right driving the Rohloff. This was after lengthy consultation with various engineers. Apparently it’s better/ stronger having both on the same side. Apparently the convention of having the timing chain on the left has to do with there not being space for a triple chainring plus a timong chain on the right? Anyway, 2x9spd bulletproof XT cranks on the right works a treat. Anyone else ?
  20. There’s an English word for that, it just escapes me right now.....
  21. That’s a name I haven’t heard for a while. In about ‘96 we wre collecting rocks from the site where they were going to have their airship base. Geologist mate of mine saw the rocks and got and instant hard-on. Yes, Kimberlite. Don’t ask me what became of it
  22. Not long before we start seeing these, alcohol and what they call “barbecues” in Youtube/Darwin Awards
  23. CRC don't know their arse from their elbow. Zero customer service and some arrogant, untrained twats at the end of their chatline.
  24. Guys, he's Spanish.
