I did my first 94.7 in 2002 as a bet. My brother-in-law said that I will not be able to complete a cycle race of "such magnitude" as he said at the time. I entered the day the entries closed. I was 40 years old, and has never done a cycle race in my life! And with just over a month to train. The next day I went out and got myself a Raleigh RC 2000 and completed it in 03:57. Thereafter I did 5 in a row, but was set back for two times. 2007 was out because of my knee operation (best thing I did to make my cycling experience better!) and 3 weeks before last years event I had an eye operation. So this year will be my 6th 94.7 race, but I stopped counting at 100 as to how many other races I have done since I started cycling. I will never be a good cyclist, but I will always be a cyclist! steynja2009-11-10 13:49:19

MuXmAn, Yuo can also add relief for cracked heels to your list. I have used your cream on my heels for only two days, and the are almost completely healed. Another day or so and they should be completely healed.

Also have a look over here: http://cgi.ebay.ph/Vintage-Le-Taureau-Singlespeed-bike-Modolo-Dura-Ace_W0QQitemZ200376457959QQcmdZViewItemQQptZSport_Radsport_Fahrr%C3%A4der?hash=item2ea75e1ae7&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 Wait for the page to fully load, and then scroll down for some really nice close-up pics.

Whoopeeeeee! I just read an e-mail from Craig Dutton, the National Marketing Manager for Rudy Project South Africa, informing me that I was one of the lucky winners of these sunglasses! I can't wait to get them!

Taken from the Mity 2 manual:

Have look over here in the meanwhile: http://www.cateye.com/en/manuals/66 I see that the Mity 2 is listed there.

What model Cateye is it? I have a few PDF manuals for some older models lurking somewhere on my pc which might help.

I purchased my Edge 305 about 3 1/2 years ago from another hubber. I served me almost trouble free this whole time I had it. The only problem that I ever had was that pixels were going dead on the screen. For R2300 pay in I upgraded to the Edge 705. I always kept my 305 up to date with the latest software using Webupdater. From experience with cycling buddies who also have the Edge 305, small stupid things like corrupt data can also create lock-ups etc. on the device. Besides regularly checking for updates using Webupdater, I also regularly cleared the memory after transferring my rides to Training Center. I also follow the same philosophy with my Edge 705, and have also not had any problems whatsoever. steynja2009-09-21 10:10:56

I believe in using Prepsol. It's the pink stuf that you can buy an a 5 liter container at your local spares shop. You can use it undilluted and and is environmental friendly. If you spill some of it on your grass it will do no harm. steynja2009-09-19 14:41:57

Reset your unit by pressing the "Mode"(reset/lap) and "Power" buttons at the same time.

I already mentioned this one about two weeks ago! https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=60207

Thanks for the reply Johan. Me and a colleague at work who also is a cyclist, had a very heated debate over this issue. He also insisted that since he changed from the 175mm Ultegra crank that came with his bike to either a 172.5mm Truvativ or a FSA crank his performance improved remarkably. I told him that it was all in the mind and that he only needed justification for the thousands he spent aver being duped by an excellent saleperson! He did not take too kindly to my comment! steynja2009-09-12 09:48:24

Johan, Will you please read my post regarding the crank length and tell me if I am completely of my rocker? Post over here : https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=60135&KW=&PID=899298#899298

I cannot see the second-last picture.

For those that want to learn a bit more about using and configuring the Edge 705, have a look over here for some cool instruction videos. http://www8.garmin.com/learningcenter/training/edge705/index.html steynja2009-09-03 13:22:28

Personally I think it is mostly all in the mind, but I might be wrong because I am not speaking from personall experience. But, my reasoning is as follows. Calculate the circle that you need to complete to do one complete revolution. The formula for circumference is p x Diameter or 2 x p x Radius. The crankarm length will therefore be your radius of your circle. For a 17.25 cm crank your circumference is 108.38cm. For a 17 cm crank the circumference is 106.81cm. That brings you to a difference in circumference of only 1.57cm. I seriously doubt if you will really feel any difference. You might feel a small difference when you go from 17.0 cm (170mm) crank to a 17.5cm (175mm) crank, because your circumference now increases to 109.96cm, which equates to a difference of 3.15cm in circumference. Having said that, I might be completely wrong, so I am waiting feedback for the physics gurus. Johan Bornman, what is your take on this? steynja2009-09-01 12:21:18

Yes, and have been doing it for close to 25 years now. But, to answer your questions, here goes: Unfortunately not far enough, only 9kms. about 15 minutes. Duh! I get wet! No, I do not quite work up enough of a sweat. The younger generation usually come to me for cycling info. I have convinced quite a lot of people to take up cycling, including my 50 year old line manager! steynja2009-08-23 15:00:11

Glad that Sport Tracks could read the data. Once you have succesfully downloaded your rides, manually delete the data from the Edge. After your next ride, try using the Garmin Training Center again. I am quite sure that it will work as it should. I have forgotten about it, but I also had the same problem, which eventually turned out to be a "corrupt" data file. Deleting the data solved the problem.

Have you tried it on a different PC? Also, try using a different USB port, prefferably the ones connected directly to the motherboard if you are not using a laptop. You have also not stated what operating system you are using.

I am not sure. I have a Edge 705 these days, but I seem to recall that I did not lose any data when performing a reset. a quick Google search bring up conflicting info whether losing data or not. I took the gamble when I was faced with a simmilar predicament, but regaining full use of my Edge outweighed the data that I may have lost.

Try reseting the unit. Press the Reset/Lap and Start/Stop button at the same time. Or press Power + Lap for 10 seconds for a hard reset. Or try Lap + Mode then Power.steynja2009-08-10 05:41:18
