  1. Do yourself a favour and get yourself an AeroPress (makes seriously good coffee) and save up to buy yourself a serious machine and get a real grinder.
  2. Please please please I hear a lot of flu and colds going round. DO NOT exercise when you have the flu or a cold as you can do yourself some serious harm if you do. Just take it easy till it is completely over. Your heart especially is at risk and you won't even know that you have damaged it. Take this to heart.
  3. I know Sam Gaze went through some tough times but he seemed overly serious and had to make himself smile on occasion. Was very disappointed with the course. Seemed very easy but hardly any opportunity for passing.
  4. Safety glasses most under-rated and under-used tool in any kind of workshop for sure.
  5. Yep they have to generate income somehow. $5 here and $7 there is very doable per subscription but by the time you add up all the subscriptions at the end of the month it becomes unaffordable. Would love to know the effect the subscription for Strava had on numbers and revenue. Suspect they lost a lot of users and not generating that much income.
  6. I ride a Giant Trance and a Scott Spark and I ride them totally differently so it is a matter of getting used to the bike. They both require a different approach.
  7. Eisch !!! Just as well I'm west of the Boerewors curtain in the Cape.
  8. Call Bridge Cycle's quite close to seller.
  9. I'm a bit in the dark about the time ???
  10. TOOooo late to change shoes. Run in what you have and take along a pair of plakkies just in case. Take your time to get the new ones
  11. Yes it is brand new out the box !!! Thanx
  12. You are drinking toooo much before the event and you are drinking toooo much during the event. During the event small amounts fairly regularly and don't wait till you are thirsty. Studies are showing that coffee is not the diuretic we believe it to be and a bit of caffeine does more good than harm.
  13. Should you be riding on your own ??? If you do keep this number handy in case of a fall or emergency - 0714244712 (I do !!)
  14. So how many years before bikes without pedals are allowed ??? I wager just a few years. 😜
  15. Best lube for this kind of day is just copious amounts of gewone used sump oil. Stry nou !!!
  16. How many cups of coffee did you have in Hout Bay ????
  17. Wettest ever and I've done many. Never ever seen soooo many punctures ??? And never seen so many sunglasses on the deck. Happy I did it but it took some persuasion.
  18. Sjees he's only done a few road rides and is already chasing KOM's You need some serious help
  19. Slowly remove the tyre and if you have a mess and no tjoep then you know it is tjoepless. Otherwise bring your bike round and I will show you how but I am in Hout Bay. Where are you based ???
  20. Nope !!!!! you do not take this to a place for them to look at it you do it yourself !!! Search Youtube "how to replace a mountain bike tube" and take it from there. If you ride a mtb you teach yourself to replace and patch a tjoep. 😄
  21. Chances are that it is a tjoepless tyre in which case either the valve is bust at the base or you need to tighten the valve on the rim. Try the latter first. If it has a tjoep in then the valve has torn away from the tjoep and will need to be replaced. Sometimes the tip of the valve has come loose and needs to be tightened.
