  1. Nice! I like the adjustable bit too. What holds them upright?
  2. You slip nothing past the Innuendo Police. Apologise to her at once
  3. Yes, a couple. Very simple actually, And inexpensive.
  4. Platform, without a doubt.
  5. So Karma, the bitch, gave him the slap he had coming. Lekker! Congratulations to all involved , from the apprehenders to the magistrate.
  6. "Fact remains.." Neither do you The status quo is that people have been using that route for many, many years. It would be disingenuous to assert otherwise. "So the status quo will continue and the property will remain closed without the necessary arrangements" You mean that your unlawfully erected gate will remain locked and riders and walkers will simply carry on doing what we have always done, just keep going through? Oh yes, has the razor-wire been sorted out yet ? edit: clarification
  7. Certainly a better option than R750 for that other thing.
  8. My experience has been largely with non-UST tyres and rims (UST stuff works easy peasy), it's the home-brew that can be challenging..... Non-UST tyres (Crossmark, Larsen TT, Bontrager, Specialised, WTB, Kenda, etc) I would normally do an "exploratory" pump without sealant, just to get an idea of how well they are going to seal. Basically, if they hold some pressure for a few seconds even, then you are good to go. Add the sealant and pump. It's those ones that hold absolutely no pressure when you blast them with the compressor that are the beaches... Sometimes it helps (if they are folding tyres) to put in a tube and pump them to about 3 bar and leave them overnight, they take shape nicely. Then proceed as above. I guess the gist of what I am trying to say is that it's important to get an idea of how well they are going to seal before you add the sealant. Thanks for making me clarify that. If anyone has ever done the Rambo lighter fuel trick, please let me know, I need a new party trick
  9. Hijack on..Yes, that Klein Korporaal Ketoors appears to have gone AWOL. Just no discipline these days ...hijack off. Come to think of it, he (Kpl Ketoors) tried to arrest a bicycle fitted with homeless tubeless, but he failed. Just goes to show that tubeless works
  10. With air, from a compressor, with the valve core removed. Hard and fast, it's really just to check that the thing more-or-less seals before you add the sealant. once you've added the sealant, it gets messy if it won't seat. I've seen some funny stuff in my life, but two people, one non-compliant wheel, a compressor and a can of Stans rates very highly.
  11. There's a trick or two required. 1. Seat the tyre before you even open the can of sealant. That way you know it can seat. 2.If the tyre won't seat easily use Bead Seat Lube (it's the equivalent KY in the realm of tubeless sex). It works so well that you probably won't even hear the "pop" as it seats on the bead. (Ja, I know dishwashing liquid sort of works, but save that for washing your car) 3. Add sealant. Pump. Ride 4. No need to clean the ceiling or buy another can of sealant
  12. "Papgooiers Choobless", even beats my homeless choobless that gave somebody such heart-burn. Pasop virrie bosvarke, hulles lief vir pap. !!!
  13. See you there.
  14. My front brakes are in the front and the back brakes at the back. Is there another way of doing things ?
  15. Sorry, can't help, I'm only here because I thought it said "Shagging on Strava"...
  16. The lubrication supply hose for the fancy tool to fix your favourite new hub ?
  17. With all due respect, off the record and without prejudice.... I think you're all missing the point. There are three questions that are important in design: Is it lighter ? Is it more expensive ? Will my friends be impressed ? edit typo
  18. I apologise in advance (which is code for "I'm too lazy to look") if this has been posted before.... This looks like an interesting resource, local and lekker. http://www.melfort.co.za/Home/
  19. Ketoors kom in, Ketoors kom in..... oh dear, radio silence, (or just another dud B25 radio.....)
  20. Are we really having this discussion?
  21. @OP Yes, you're quite correct, 29rs are a thing of the past. Has beens, been there, done that kind of thing. For boring people. That's why your search didn't find anything.Look under "Retro". And all these claims about them being faster are just that..claims, nothing but hot air. I'm telling you, follow the trend that Giant sets, go 650B/27.5 Did you hear that Schwinn are bringing out at 26.75 in 2015 ?
  22. I assumed by "take her numberplate" he meant physically, with a screwdriver You could drop it at the scene of a robbery/murder later........or just keep it as a souvenir. Seriously, glad you're OK. Take care.
  23. Glad you're OK. You handled that well, confronting her in a non-aggressive way. Maybe, just maybe she will have learned something. Well done.
