The Ouzo

hmmm, I see a loophole for insurers. Somebody drives into you and says god made him do it = not covered.

fold the wheels, they'll fit into a smaller box. much cheaper. follow me for more cost saving tips.

yeah, I'm not in agreement with the covering of the uninsured items, unless the person has some sort of all risk out and about cover for unspecified items that this can fall under.

I wont comment on your other points, but this particular one stood out for me. We have insurance for when things go wrong, whether our fault or not. As long as the damage was not intentional, it should not matter if he took the wrong line or a meteor fell out of the sky and hit the bike.

yeah but with cars they sometimes take it to far. For instance many cars lidar/camera safety equipment will not work 100% with a non OEM windscreens, but insurers will fight to have alternative windscreens installed, putting their clients at risk because the safety systems are not working 100%.

+1 Have been interested in the Oura ring for a long time. If I recall, someone on this forum bought one a few years back, I just dont recall who.

Many years ago I moved away from the umbrella company because of this. I was rear ended in my car twice in the space of 3 days. I reported both incidents to them as that is what you are obligated to do. The car was not assessed from the first accident when the second one occurred, so essentially I could have just claimed for one accident. They then wanted to charge me excess for both accidents. After some arguments I won that fight, had the car repaired and went elsewhere.

I've got 2 issues with Garmin livetrack that make it unreliable. 1) occasionally Garmin does an update and turns live track autostart off or it simply does not start automatically like it should. (to be fair this has not happened for a long while) 2) it relies on connection to your smart phone. I make a habbit of checking the pairing with my phone and even do a synch before riding, but on many occasions I'll get back from my ride and the 2 are no longer paired. Whether this is a garmin or iphone issue I dont know. because of the above, the wife will sometimes tell me she had to use Find My to see where I was because live track did not work.

I use Garmin Live track, but since it does not always reliably work, its backed up with iphone find my

Since all the Garmin threads got resurrected. Since my bike came back from CTCT I have a problem with my cadence sensor. The HU picks it up, but no data is shown. I first thought it was the battery, I replaced it with one I had that I thought was good, still did not work. Only recently got around to buying another battery. Still the same. I tried the insert the battery in upside down for 10 sec trick to reset it. Still nothing. Any ideas ?

Thanks for the review, sounds like a useful gadget to have around. Will put it on my ïf it pops up at a serious bargain" list in my head.

The broken window theory

the circled bits are connected to a metal strip running along the edge of the casing, that is the antennae, it needs to make contact with the circled pins which need to make contact with the PCB contact points that are circled.

the gps antennae runs around the casing on the inside, I had the same problem as you, opened the unit up again, made sure to put the antennae how it should be and its worked ever since.

that still has timing chips attached to it from the previous owner. Were they that fedup with cycling ?

very neat and elegant solution. Slap a Wahoo logo on and you could sell it for 1 gajilion rands.

bikehub name change ?

He was one of our club members, was on his way to join the club ride. Such a nice guy to ride with. No ego, always friendly and helpful. We’re all devastated.

First ride since my crash last week. lots of physical and mental healing still to do. Ribs are not happy going over anything remotely resembling a bump. Rode far off the back of my group, then we hit a particularly potholed stretch of road and I decided to just let them go. the combination of rain, darkness and the inability to absorb or jump over bumps was not pleasant at all.

yep, did my first sub 3 in november and it was from D group

what sort of PB are you wanting to set ? perhaps you dont need to get into the vets group

I was thinking a bit about this the other day, and its not just cape town that benefits, especially in the previous years, the small towns on the road down to CT certainly had a little boost in economy with travellers stopping there.

Thanks folks, I came right with a Specialized Align II. A guy at work had one sitting in his garage, bought it for his daughter around a year back, she used it maybe 3 times and then hung it up. Other than being dusty its like new.

yes, every helmet that I'm checking out is being cross referenced with this site. the helmet I was wearing is not listed on this site, that does not mean it was crap, it just means it was not tested. judging by the occasional discomfort I feel, I hit my head HARD, that helmet did its job. But I'd feel alot more comfortable if the new helmet has been tested and proven to have a safer rating.

no stock of my size in the country.
