  1. Huh? Don't all satellite dishes need to be pointed pretty much North? Seeing as all geosynchronous satellites need to orbit above the equator.
  2. Alternatively, feed a new cable through the old housing then pull the housing out leaving the cable in place and feed the new housing over the cable that's now in the bike (or if the old cable is not too frayed you can just pull the old housing off and feed the new housing onto that cable, then replace the cable). I've found this works pretty well.
  3. Like I said, a lot of the lumber yards will have an offcut bin (I know Country Woods up in JHB has one so I'd be surprised if their Cape Town place doesn't). https://www.countrywoodscpt.co.za/contact-us/
  4. 300x300 is going to be an odd size to get. Might need to buy a whole 160x3000x25/38 plank (what the lumber yards usually sell) and laminate/join it yourself. Some lumber yards might have an offcut bin you can look through but I've never had much luck finding what I want in those. Best bet might be to look for a laminated pine/saligna shelf and stain it. If you really want a dark hardwood you're probably looking for Walnut (stupidly expensive) or Wenge (can be very hard to find). Others that could work are Rhodesian Teak or Blackwood but it depends on the colour you want. Unfortunately I'm in JHB so I can't give you pointers on where to go in the cape.
  5. Problem is that buying the sports rights and having the presenters, pundits, talk shows etc. makes up a massive proportion of their cost base so a "Sports Only" package would be like 80-85% of the cost of the premium package.
  6. My only gripe with it was that it was not as good as Ragnarok. Not even close.
  7. Depends on which DHL service they use. DHL Express is a courier to your door. DHL and DHL Paket are via the Post Office.
  8. Maybe he got a steak from the same place as Contador?
  9. Another thing to consider is that a lot of the bigger ones (like 25l/min and up) need a power point for the igniter so they won't work when there's load shedding unless you have a backup power system of some sort. As Frosty said, a changeover manifold and two gas bottles is not necessary but it's 100% the way to go. Nothing worse than running out of gas mid shower and not having another bottle you can switch to to finish. I've got two geysers. A 16l/min Ariston geyser that runs on D-cell batteries for the kitchen, laundry and maid's quarters. Batteries last for ages (I've had it for almost two years and I replaced the batteries for the first time 2 weeks ago), no issues heating the water as long as you only run one tap at a time. I've also got a 26l/min Paloma that needs to be plugged in and it's an absolute beast, no issue heating the water to 60° in the middle of winter while running two showers at the same time. I've not had any issues with either of them so I'd happily recommend either based on my experiences.
  10. *effective* head tube angle then... fkn' nerd 😝🤣
  11. Need to run the fork backwards otherwise the head angle is too slack 🤨
  12. The solar on these devices isn't really meant to charge the battery, it's intended to extend battery life while doing an activity. You might be able to charge the battery if you leave it in the sun long enough but I'm pretty sure it will take AGES.
  13. Every wattbike or spinning bike I've ever been on at Virgin has had SPD pedals or clips(straps)
  14. If you told us what area/city you are in we might even be able to help.
  15. Aah, maybe I wasn't clear. My go-to skin repair cream is Sudocrem, my go-to chamois cream is Ass Magic. Keen to try the new skin repair cream though.
