I know very off-topic, but who was the guy that started that thread too long ago I think it was about sponsors that didn't last very long before it was removed?

Looks like someone reinvented the scrambler as a "pedal-less mountain bike".

Has anyone tried the Leatt hydration packs?

This is why most people do not get involved, should you do something to help the person out you might even be charged with assault. If you have a firearm and you shoot the perp, charged with attempted murder. Chances are that you would not be found guilty, but still, no one wants that stress on themselves.

I made sure to measure before buying, I bought from the same store so hopefully, the sizes are consistent.

Decided to try out AliExpress as well, bought two short sleeve shirts to see how it goes. hopefully they get here and in good condition.

Thanks for the websites and stores, I have always just looked at the Fox stuff at Canal Walk and Giant Durbanville has some, will check out some of these mentioned.

Website and in-store at Canal Walk.

Where does everyone buy their clothing and gear? It seems that most stores sell xc orientated stuff, but not really more enduro type clothing, for instance, shoes or shirts.

Search on the hub, there is a thread somewhere with all the fork oil weights and what is recommended and what is not. When you do the service, have a look on SRAM's website and on youtube (SRAM's channel), they have the service manuals on there for you to use.

Why though, is there really a benefit to do this as opposed to riding just 29" or 27.5"?

Keep a small container with some solvent to clean any bolts that you remove, remember to grease/locktite before installing again.

More of a tip than a workshop mistake, only tighten your brakes levers and shifters tight enough to prevent them from rotating whilst using it. If (when) you crash chances are much smaller of damaging something.

Rotary engine see through.

If you buy say a Bosch set that comes with two batteries you can buy the other tools you need without the batteries and chargers, the same brand tools all fit the same battery.

Does anyone have two 27.5" plus-size tyres, 2.8-3" wide? My sidewalls are leaking like crazy and I'm planning on buying a 29" wheelset later on so I don't want to spend on a set of tyres.

One of my favourite songs, here is an Avenged Sevenfold one I like:

Eden Paradyskloof First time back on the bike in a while, felt great to be out riding again.

At least they've got something to show for their tax money, unlike here where more and more taxes are added, but everything gets worse.

So I ended up buying a scroll saw I got on a very good deal from someone who unfortuneately cannot do woodwork anymore, I also picked up a mini belt and disk benchtop sander from him. For now, I think the scroll saw would fit my needs better for cutting smaller, thinner stock. It also allows me to do inside cuts. A band saw remains on my wishlist for now.

Unfortunately, they do not have any decor stuff, so I will spend some time making what can be made.

It feels like cutting it myself will work out cheaper than laser cutting, we will get the finer more detailed stuff laser cut. I wouldn't buy the saw just for the wedding so it would be a longer-term investment of sorts.

Thanks for the input, I will see if I can find a band saw, also leaning that way. It just feels that a scroll saw is much cheaper than a band saw and if it can cut up to say 1" softwood and MDF it should be fine.

So I am considering getting a scroll saw instead of a band saw, is it worth it to get a scroll saw? I am getting married next year and I'm thinking that a scroll saw will enable me to make most of the stuff we want to get such as table numbers names etc. Do they have a purpose other than small crafts or should I just save up and buy a band saw?
