    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 ?
  6. The Ouzo
    very neat and elegant solution. Slap a Wahoo logo on and you could sell it for 1 gajilion rands.
  7. The Ouzo
    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.
  14. The Ouzo
    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.
  16. The Ouzo
    thanks, will look into the Giant Relay
  17. The Ouzo
    after my crash last week I agree even more than I did before, only thing is I cant afford the high end stuff. The spez align seems to be the best protection in that price range, scores very well in testing. But, jsut come back from the Spez store, no tock in my size at the store or the warehouse.
  18. The Ouzo
    everything is walking distance if you have the time. Just slightly to far for a quick lunchtime walk though, and in my current state there is no quick walking.
  19. The Ouzo
    thanks gents, will pop up to the Spez store during the day and check them out.
  20. The Ouzo
    IF anyone comes across any road bike helmets on special please post link here. Budget is zero, but I'll go up to around R1500 for a helmet that offers decent protection.
  21. The Ouzo
    just to be clear, we're still talking about the stuff you throw in the fire, right ?
  22. The Ouzo
    thats the thing, I'm already nursing stuffed rib cartridge on the right hand side due to some stupid household DIY on saturday, and now I have the same on the left. Coughing is not plesent. #thereare2typesofcyclists yip, after all the close calls, today my number was called up. it was my turn to go down.
  23. The Ouzo
    I'm still ok to ride. Finished my ride this morning, will probably jump on the bike tomorrow morning. I say that now, we'll see later in the day when aches and pains start.
  24. The Ouzo
    Hello tar, meet The Ouzo. Hello The Ouzo, meet the tar. 0/10, would not recommend. Nasty gash on my fore head. Will need to replace my helmet. Nasty roasty on the knee cap with bruising. Stuffed up a rib, not sure how bad yet, suspect just cartilage. left arm has some swelling near the elbow, hopefully its just bruising, but my pinky had no feeling when I continued riding. Bike is ok, some very minor scratches. I'm sure this happened because I just put on new bar tape, the universe wont allow perfect bar tape

    Never watched it when it came out, finally watching Reacher
