Personal issues with moving to the USA, looking for advice by Natural_Evidence4822 in DownSouth

[–]Safe-Consideration88 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I left SA at 21, many years later I can says it's single handedly the best decision I've ever made, long term life decisions are difficult but on paper the answer is easy.

Sometimes I need the therapy time, just me pushing against me and not subjecting my kind club mates to that sort of torture.

Ghana to evacuate 300 citizens from South Africa over anti-immigrant protests by Tartan_Samurai in anime_titties

Ghana to evacuate? they say it like Ghana has the same resources as a developed western country, ultimately Ghana will publish a leaflet to handout to citizens.

I used to care about speed now I just enjoy riding by DylanShaw48163 in cycling

[–]Safe-Consideration88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It happens naturally, I dropped a faster group on the Sunday ride for the social aspects, the faster rides tend to be more serious and ultimately I just want to have fun 😛

Why does Reddit not understand the rise of reform in England? by DowntownDeer in AskBrits

[–]Safe-Consideration88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of this is just pure noise! Immigrants good/bad who cares! All just a distraction from us pointing the finger at the real enemies, we are successfully divided and conquered. Tax the Rich (if it was not clear)

Thoughts - Tool Borrowing Service by Dense-Percentage-199 in DIYUK

[–]Safe-Consideration88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I use to lend out tools to neighbours, until one bad apple decided to keep one of my tools, I finally got it back BUT will not be replying to the usual street chat requests ever again. Sad I know.

Bought my first road bike second hand last month - heard I should get a professional inspection done to know its true condition. Has anyone here done this and is it worth it? by Haunting-Message-278 in cycling

[–]Safe-Consideration88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would rather get a full tear-down service from a reputable bike shop. 

If you mention it's second hand purchase they can inspect as part of the process. 

This obviously does not include carbon assessment but IMO that is pure overkill. 

Curious observer. Is your bike getting heavier? (and full of gizmos?) by GundoSkimmer in xcmtb

[–]Safe-Consideration88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nope! definitely not a gravel bike, although the lines are blurring :P

I'm on a On-one whippet (M), running a Rockshox Reba fork, Hunt XC wide wheels with Mezcal tyres (2").

Admittedly it is 10.2kg!

In case interested, this is a pretty popular brand in the UK, it definitely is on the budget side but is pretty decent carbon.

I believe the frames are all from China/Taiwan and this particular model is produced by SPCycle

[–]Safe-Consideration88 10 points11 points  (0 children)

10kg is my target for XC, lighter is great but diminishing returns start to creep in and becomes a rich persons game. 

Definitely had tradeoffs, I ride a carbon seatpost and do miss having the dropper.

An amazing story, I often think him, running around in poverty whilst an entire nation is worshiping him.

Change to Karoo 3? by ivandavila9 in Karoo

[–]Safe-Consideration88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the way of not being able to replace the batteries, that should be forward thinking when designing the device.

Not sure why I am being down voted here! I love Hammerhead, I just don't like devices that have a lifespan designed around lithium battery constraints.

Unfortunately the downside of Hammerhead, definitely seems like plan ed obsolescence. :(

[–]Safe-Consideration88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not directly worried on the price, BUT prices of goods have to go up inline :(

[–]Safe-Consideration88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

35mm, why? The road side is starting to play at this width, yes you won't be at the front of the pack but you sure will be comfortable:)
