  1. why would I want worse economy, worse performance, worse ride quality, worse repayments, worse insurance, .............. than I have now ?
  2. I see now there are 2 listed, did not really dive into the details to see the difference, both are brushless 18V units but the one is double the price of the other.
  3. ahh yes I forgot about the part where he is driving a barn door. But I would imagine a modern MTB would still stick out past the sides, even on a tractor like the Amarok. I also would not trust the buffeting of a cover like that against my bike.
  4. OnedayOnly have a CAT Impact Wrench, with 2 x batteries and charger for R1699 today. Very tempting.
  5. and its worse with a sedan. When I do longer trips, and if space is available, I take the wheels off the bikes as they protrude past the sides of the car. Makes a massive difference to fuel consumption.
  6. wrong actually, a bicycle creates a fair amount of drag mounted behind a car, and if any part of the bike protrudes even slightly past the cars edges (sides, top, bottom) then that drag goes up exponentially.
  7. Early morning zone 2 work I don’t normally stop when I take pics, but could not pass up this sunrise
  8. Normal weather in the week leading up to the race is wet and chilly, possibly early morning rain on the day but hot from sunrise getting scorching by mid day. breeze blowing south/south west
  9. Were you trying to get the last of your food out of your beard? 😂
  10. In this instance then I agree, looking at speed and avg speed when trying to stick to zone 2 is a problem, you have to be disciplined. For that I have a different screen that has no indication of speed, just HR, distance, and time of day.
  11. well if you know your average speed needs to be x in order to hit your target time for the distance, but its currently x - 2, then its helps to know that your current speed is x + 5 so your average is increasing instead of if it was x -5 and decreasing.
  12. Thursday afternoon broke through a concrete floor in the courtyard and dug a deep excavation to try and find the source of a water leak. 4 hours and a stuffed back later decided to rather let the pros handle it. Did not sleep lekker that night. Friday was spent on anti inflamtories and doing stretches. By mid day I was feeling better. But halfway through the night I was in pain and landed up not sleeping well. Saturday had a lekker zone 1 ride with Chad and was contemplating hitting SBR or my normal hill training route this morning. Slept better, but woke at round 5:30 when our power went out. When I got up I was feeling very fatigued, looked at the calendar, looked at my training progress and decided today was going to be a rest day. So went back to bed and only got up again at 8.
  13. Damn, many happy miles. Lovely car that.
  14. Since I don’t have power (meter) I use the following on my main screen on my 130. speed elapsed time avg speed | distance % max HR | cadence With the above 6 field format speed and elapsed time are a bigger font i then have another screen that show elevation.
  15. Showing @Chadvdw67my usual loop.
  16. yoh, its not friday. Hold off the attacks until friday, if you attack to early you'll run out of steam before the finish line.
  17. As a recent seller of an older bike priced high I'll chime in. I got some low ball offers. I knew I had priced it high, but at the time of receiving those lowball offers I wasnt prepared to let it go at the price YET. I knew it would only be worth what someone was willing to pay for it, so waited it out. The one lowball offer was close to what I was willing to accept at the time, I tried to negotiate the selling price up a bit so that after bikehub pay was factored in I'd get what I was willing to drop to for the bike. Buyer just disappeared.
  18. I'm in gauteng. Am very happy to be a test rider if you can arrange something up here.
  19. I fit all the criteria except the location
  20. I think with the right group and right conditions I could do a sub 3. Did a 3h21 last year and only rode on a group until the climb up from grayston.
  21. I will C you in C, for about 1 minute into the race and then I will C you disappear ahead of me. This event also has me at 1 less than I've done as there was 1 year where a different timing company timed the event and other than the medal and some photos there seems to be no other evidence that I did the race that year.
  22. also, do you know where you can confirm they have the correct bib colour for you ?
  23. so not the same timing board as last year ? they've given me the same race number as last year though.
  24. Remember to say hello when you come past me. I got C for holy Crap. I’m going to have to find some big boy legs in the next month.
  25. maybe he thought you told him he musnt push
