    Birds of South Africa

    It is the wagtails, the photo came out quite dark, but they are definitely darker than usual. They don't seem to have a fixed breeding season, but do return consistently to the same nests. I had a rat / mouse problem in the one workshop that killed a couple of broods, but I've sorted it out now...

    Birds of South Africa

    I guess the winter oil change for my mowers is going to be delayed... No photos, but there is a Vulture restaurant on by neighbors farm that my house overlooks, and there's a pair of Lammergeyers that have been hanging around there lately. Being on top of the hill, I also get the...

    Rear axle spacer damage & worn bearing hub

    Those dimples in the rim are from someone punching divots into the wall to hold in a loose bearing in. I would measure up the bearing cavities in the rim and see just how much they have worn, and then decide what needs to be done. If there was a wobble in the wheel that could definitly be a...

    Rear axle spacer damage & worn bearing hub

    It basically provides support for the insides of the inner bearings and stops them from having sideways load when you tighten the axle bolt. So the pressure is supported by the inner races pressing against the spacer and not transferred through the balls to the outer races and hub

    New Sani border fee

    I'll ride up and check this week if possible, but thes a new per person fee to get through the Lesotho border at Sani top. So it's R75 road tax for your bike, and another R100 for you. It makes my Maluti beer runs quite uneconomical now.

    TRIALS BIKE

    Um, no The indoor rounds are on man-made obstacles, but the outdoor rounds are all still natural obstacles, and the majority of the club rounds are natural. In the uk and other countries where it is permitted, trials bikes are still road registered to get between sections. There is also an...

    Help me decide - Sertao or XT660R

    I never managed to close one off in the 2 sets of headers I replaced and I never saw one closed enough to affect the performance of the bike. They'd get dinged and ovaled, but never closed. And once the plate was on it was a non issue. They're not the highest of bikes, although mine had hyperpro...
