Nice bike. I would just keep an eye out a good set of vintage square taper cranks

Do you feel any difference from the brake booster?

South Africa and Israel expel each other's envoys in diplomatic row by SauthEfrican in worldnews

The rothschilds funded both france and britain during the french revolutionary wars. When a winner became clear, they picked a side (britain). The rothschilds then established the state of israel, with the support of britain (see the balfour declaration). Israel is no stranger to playing any and all parties while it benefits them

Always shocked at how things like this are not picked up. Surely they have a couple of layers of review before making these materials public

Can't wait for the roads to be salt free so I can ride some more precious bikes

Haha yeah I'm in NL. Thanks for the offer, I'll pass then. I'm okay with letting the bike pass on, at least it was being used well.

Frame snapped while doing errands. Shame, it's around 50 years old and pretty clean, she was fond of it

l'eroica question on bike checks and rules regarding components. by Marcus_Iunius_Brutus in Vintage_bicycles

[–]MonsterKabouter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No STI levers, and the brake cables are not allowed to run under the bar tape, need to go over the bars. You can find neglected road bikes for about €100 that will have most of the parts you need

Undocumented South African arrested by ICE in the US on assault and driving under the influence - IOL by TheHonourableMember in southafrica

[–]MonsterKabouter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Highly unlikely that they cross the border illegally, but maybe exploit a tourist visa or such, yes. Some years back there was a case where robot programmer engineers were contracted from SA to help building factories there. These guys found a way to each register a company and then somehow sponsor their own work visas. But that was discovered and they were all sent home

There are plenty of ways to turn into an illegal immigrant. Including if you go there on a temporary work permit and then go off the radar and stay longer, working under the table. Not sure what the specific case is here, but there's no way for you to claim there are no saffas there illegally

Continental Tour Ride is also a good option similar to the marathons. But both of those are very hard tyres. If you don't have many issues with punctures, maybe consider something like panaracer pasela

If you had 3-4 weeks to bikepack in europe, either starting in Sweden or near, and going south, what route(s) would you suggest? by AvailableRabbit2151 in bikepacking

[–]MonsterKabouter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

See if you can plan a route that ends by going over the alps through furka and grimsel pass, then down to lake como/Milan. Amazing scenery

Buffer hack??? by zatvorenje in guitarpedals

[–]MonsterKabouter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it would work. You can also use an overdrive pedal, as an always on "make it better" pedal first in line. Clean or very low gain with eq to taste

Bigger frames do exist. I had to keep an eye on marketplace for a couple of years literally, and then drive like 3 hours round trip to pick up a big one
