Thanks, that sounds great..

Thanks Robert but the V800 takes a wider strap where it attaches to the watch.

Hey guys, I'm looking for a Polar V800 watch strap as mine just split apart. So if you've got a broken/ not working watch that you're looking to get rid of (or sell) I'll be happy to take it off you and pay for Pudo...

Thank you sir. She's quite a heavy bike so she'll be good on short rides..

Hey Guys, While the experts are focused on past restorations today I thought I'd post a pic of an old bike I picked up two years ago on an auction. It's a Carlton Kermesse (as stated on the frame) with a 5 sprocket rear cassette. The rear wheel appears that can be flipped around (I assume) to use with a single gear on the other side. With a bit of grease/oil on the running parts and one new tube the bike was rideable but haven't due to wanting to save the old tyres. My question is: what is this bike worth and although it is "rideable" is it worth keeping it as it is?

I once suffered from the above. I awoke one morning and sat up and I suddenly felt as though I was on a boat plunging over a large wave. It felt as though the floor, in front of me, was falling away and I felt instantly nauseous. Someone did indicate to me what to do (as in the video above) and it came right. I did repeat the manoeuvre the next day as I still had a mild vertigo effect. I've never had a problem after that but it really can't be described as simple dizziness. The vertigo effect can feel very violent.

One unfortunate point is that if (after a sale) you give the seller a low rating for not selling you what he advertised or not supplying you according to your specs, as requested, he will give you a low rating back (making up a false story) just out of spite because you gave him a low rating. There should be a referee (admin) to adjudicate should this matter arise.

Maybe you should try to identify if it's a blood pressure LOW or a sugar LOW. Some folk react to a sugar high (race day) and then have a bad sugar low the day after but that is more of a fatigue, not dizziness. It is termed reactive hypoglycemia. Do you take adequate rehydration solutions for 18 hours after a race. A mixed solution next to the bed helps if you wake thirsty in the middle of the night. Also are you eating sufficiently (protein) shortly after a long ride to help you recharge the energy levels

I was experiencing a badly laid out Home Page (things were quite jumbled). Endured it for a week or so but it has come right now - on my cellphone. Thank you...

A cheap alternative (costs nothing) is to cut a liquifruit carton out in the shape of your shoe insole. Place it underneath the shoes existing insoles, silver side up, and it will help eliminate the cold from entering under the shoe and help insulate the heat of the foot from escaping downwards. Warm (hiking) socks and booties (bought second hand on Bhub) round off my winter foot gear. Some shoes are warmer than others depending on the thickness of the venting fabric they are made with.

The mini trail at Mountain Splendour are good for a shorter ride and there are some added trails starting at the back of the Cedarwood shopping centre and around the intersection of the road turning off to Drak Sun. But for a longer ride the gravel roads into the Sappi Forest (past the Sawmill & Ardmore) offer at 40 km+ ride with some challenging Strava Segments... I heard of another trail going up the mountain from Ardmore and through a "saddle" at the top and then riding along the top linking through to the Falcon Ridge/ Reptile centre. Will give this route a try on Saturday. Here's hoping that at some stage the full Cathkin Trails will be resurrected.

May 2024 and the Cathkin Trails are closed. Such a pity coz they were really great. I heard that the guy who created them has moved on and they've fallen into disrepair. Don't think Champagne Sports are interested in keeping them maintained so it's game over! Big signage at trail entrances state that the trails are closed...

Yeah bud, had it on my phone for years. Suppose it's always great to discover something new...✔️

I see a piel in there somewhere??

Yeah, you're right. Pretty flexy. Similar to the early Stepcast forks. Let's await the pros' comments from the suspension companies.

Are you looking to sell yours and buy another bike or just reviewing other secondhand bike prices that are for sale?

Is the flex coming from the the front fork or from the wheel twisting. I can't quite see it from the video. Think you might need to turn bike outside down, stand on bars (if you're able to or somehow fasten them) then try twist the bottom of the fork arms to determine if the twist is coming from the fork or the wheel?

First thing is to go and visit as many bike shops as you can to hear their opinions on what you should get. Often you can pick up some good tips there. But beware of the fact that they will always offer you a bike from stock they presently have on the floor which might not always suit you 100%. Search the forums for good information that has already been given on BikeHub. Type in appropriate key words into the search box and spend a lot of time reading. Understand that cycling has become an expensive sport so select wisely the first time. At your height and weight it looks like you'll need an extra large bike and as long as you're not planning on riding lots of steep hills I wouldn't overly worry about the bike weight. If you were considering entering races in the future then you could start considering the weight aspect as being more important. A hardtail bike (only a shock absorbing fork upfront and no rear suspension) is probably the best choice for you as it's cheaper to buy and maintain. But many a rider have bought a hard tail and then a year or two later traded it in for a dual suspension as it gives a lot more comfort on the rougher terrain. You state farm and forest roads so a hard tail could be your best choice. Getting wider rims (upgrade) to accommodate bigger volume tyres will also help in giving you a much more comfortable ride. Also don't forget that purchasing other items like padded shorts, cycling shirts, gloves, helmet, pump, tubeless tyre upgrade, tyre repair kit and some basic tools are all costs you should also keep in mind. In the future a heart rate monitor with GPS tracking, cleated shoes, riding glasses (with optical inserts if you have prescription lenses) and then a good set of bike tools (shock pump & torque wrench) might be something to consider. So, consider all your options well before buying and seek out good advice from serious cyclists in your area. Bargains are not that easy to come across these days (post COVID times) but still possible on BikeHub but unfortunately the bargain bikes are sold very quickly and you've got to be quick on the uptake. Good luck on your cycling journey. Your love of cycling is about to begin...

The investigating officer is your main link. He does have a boss (head of detectives) that you can appeal to for information if you don't get any. Possibly offering a reward might provide an incentive...(post the notice on the detectives door if you don't hear much).

I DM'd you. Interested in Flight Deck...

And here, Mr Potato, is the crux of the matter. Do you position your business as ethical and fair by offering a good purchase price and likewise a good selling price (at a reasonable % markup) hereby developing an excellent business reputation where clients old and new are more than happy to deal with you. If your business is based on extortionate prices where you purposely offer ridiculously low prices and then sell at the highest prices possible you ultimately lose your reputation as not being a desirable company to deal with. A bad reputation doesn't always close a business down but does throttle sales when customers are turned away from doing business! Long live BikeHub, long live...🤭

Hey mate. The Polar H10 HRM's have replaceable batteries (not sure if you're aware - but guessing that you should be). Cleaning the battery terminals is another option. Also don't wash them in cold water after wearing them for a while as condensation might form on the inside if the unit is hot and the water is cold. The same applies to watches. You can always send them into the agents to have them checked out if there's a problem!

I'm a POLAR believer...for life. Chest straps last a very long time if rinsed and washed with mild soap in shower after ride. Hang vertically, don't bend otherwise rubber and takes strain (can crack over time). Rinse the HRM device and wipe the metal connectors dry. Never seen any rust and they are considered the most accurate HRM. THE H10 unit can connect to two devices simultaneously so its handy on a smart trainer when you also want to record the ride on your watch. Battery changing is also simple. In 7 years I've only gone through one belt that has a crack in it. Although it still works I feel I can't rely on it 100%. Good luck with your choice.
