Well, silence is passive acceptance or agreement with without any objection 🤷‍♂️

I guess it becomes more significant when you climb between 1200 - 1800m elevation 🤣

I always found a lighter XC fast rolling 2.2 tyres with decent puncture protection makes the biggest difference on the overall feel of the bike for a first upgrade, more nimble and better rotational weight for climbs. Unless you riding on very technical / rocky single track, go wider tyres with more volume for extra protection for the rims.

Thanks!

Check if you have a wing / spoiler on top of the boot, may not work in this instance and damage the wing / spoiler under load.

I have a 2019 Giant Anthem Adv Pro 1 that I will be putting up for sale in the near future for R45 000. carbon frame, seatpost and wheels. Whoever is interested may DM me. https://www.vitalmtb.com/product/guide/Bikes,3/Giant/Anthem-Advanced-Pro-29-1,23733

I'm still using my Fenix 3HR since 2015, has all the information I need, battery still excellent and has maps, which I always use on my trail runs 🙂

Another place you can manually turn adjust / override your resistance is on your Garmin head unit, check if this setting is on its lowest / off? Alternatively, check the Wahoo app or Zwift if somehow your resistance has been adjusted manually?

Had the same experience...

I did the same move and couldn't agree more, especially wrt simplicity and maintenance. Thinking of getting a carbon HT frame and transferring all my components, keeping the FS frame for when and if the need arises (stage races). Usually only get to ride once a week. HT is even better when the fitness is there, bike is a lot more fun and agile with the weight reduction.

Gravel tyres on a 29er wheel, does the tyre fit?

My wahoo Tickr worked better than the previous garmin I had, both packed up. Tickr has periods where the heart rate reading is "stuck" and flat lines on whatever the last reading was, e.g. 130 bpm for 2 minutes. Then it reads again for a few seconds at a different HR and flat lines again, this repeats itself over and over. It is most obvious at the bottom of the screen on Zwift, where you can see the HR graph. What I have never had an issue is my Garmin Fenix 3 HR, sapphire edition. Only negative about wrist based HR monitors, it does not read and respond as quickly as chest HR straps. Now I just Bluetooth broadcast my HR from the watch to my head unit.

Google the issue, someone online found a car belt that is the equivalent of the belt used on the trainer for a fraction of the cost. Motor industry has many belts, bring the one that broke, so they can match it up and ensure its the same? Disclaimer: I have not done this myself, but saw it being done locally and internationally.

I would advise that you report this matter to the Information Regulator in terms of POPI. Cover your tracks in the case of identity theft. Also report to the bank simultaneously. If something does happen with your personal information after the date you report to these institutions, you have a timeline of events, proof on record and a series of reference numbers.

I’m into XC racing, so the geometry unfortunately does play a role and limits the choice of frame.

Who is the dealer in SA, where I can view the frames, or does it have to be imported? I see it’s for frames of 130-140mm forks, mine is 100mm 💆‍♂️

I previously had a carbon hardtail, absolutely enjoyed it before it got stolen. Since then, been on a boost dual suspension with excellent fork, carbon wheels and groupset. I have always thought of going back to the hardtail, since it is far more fun to ride. I have been thinking of getting a boost hardtail frame, swapping my components over and keeping the dual suspension frame for stage / adventure races. Where does one find boost hardtail frames? Only one i can find is the Trek Procalibre on their website. however, the frame is priced at the cost of the full hardtail bike 🙃

Excuse me sir, but internal rim width on those ENVE's is wider than the wheels on my dual suspension mountain bike 🙃🤣
