i did some comparisons witha spin session and a rid thereafter and found that the Garmin ( using sports tracks ) only calculated me burning 1652 calories. The same ride i did with a polar measured 2512 calories. What i did notice is that during the spin session the garmin only registered 222 calories so without the distance sensor on the spin bike garmin cannot record calories accurately !!

Training , enthuastic ,motivated staff who are eager to help and make sure that the customers walk out smiling would be a good start !!! who would want to go back after getting lame excuses from people who did not really want to work on a saturday afternoon ???? then give you a crap answer and then try and show you its a newer model than that displayed ??? dont even think he knew what a heart rate moniter does !!

2am disco i heard it too !!!! i found it difficult to get someone to help me i had to go and fetch someone think that is where my problems started i must have disturbed them .....

you 100% right mampara its the principal and not the money !!! the poor service and the lack of trying to help me !!! now if he had called his manager and asked can we help this gentleman then i am sure they would have managed something but just the crap that its new stock chirp got up my nose and the hydration bladder fiasco !!! VIVA CRC VIVA !!!

that is what i thought !!! the missus told me to put it back but she really wanted a new one and its like giving a kid a prezzie then taking it away again so i said no i will take it but they will hear from me ..... some time ago i also had crap from Sportsmans who offered me compensation but i never took them up on it i just have not gone back there and never will !!!!

sent them a email to Foschini who they are part of lets see what they say then i will take it further !!! that is the problem today and that is why you have more people buying on line they dont have to face these stupid sales people who now zipp about customer service !!!

On saturday i went and bought my wife a polar F6 for her spinning and it as advertised in the polar display window for r1099. When i paid for the polar it rang up as r1199. ok so i complain to the sales guy who then spins me a tail of " its new stock" now its not a lot of money but its a good way towards a case of beer. I have prevoiusly also bought a Fox hydration pack from them and due to some handeling the bladder started leaking and i wanted to buy a replacement !!! what a mission it was and he tried to sell me a new one saying they dont stock replacements WTF camelback do !!!Dont they have stock lists on their pc's with what they can do or say to me we will try and get one for you ????? So i just went home and logged on to Chain Reaction Cycles and ordered one from them .... far less hassels and better for my blood pressure . Online shopping is the way to go !!! Due south wont see me in a hurry bunch of wankers !!!!

I have purchased a new f6 HR moniter for my wife and am finding it extremly difficult to load an excersise using the sonic upload link !!! it took me an hour to find the frigging file but eventually by playing around with it i managed to get it to start and it gets to 38 % data transferred then it stops ???? WTF another reason i dont use polar it so frigging complicated and involved GARMIN is so much easier !!! and they dont have a help line after hours

ok this ride will take place 6 feb from jacobsbaai to saldanha military academy and then back to jacobs baai nice scenic route of +- 45 km it could be extended if you like any one want to join you are most welcome !!

would polar take the wind and road surface into account ??? neway i am going to check today what the diffrence is with the polar and the garmin going to try and wear both

ha thanks Maruis !!! makes sense if you really want to get accurate

ok i will do that today i am going to spin session then road ride so i will come back with the stats tomorrow !!!!

thanks i have a polar maybe i should wear the two together on a ride then compare them ??? ok ok now what about the xtra weight that i must carry no serious i think i will give it a bash but was hoping to get some answers from garmin as they are in the pro circuit so they should have pro equipment to supply their riders !!!!

I was just wondering how accurate is the calculator that garmin use to count the amount of calories consumed on a ride !! a little while ago there was a thread i think where there was someone saying that it was not quite up to scratch and that the polar was far more accurate !!! have garmin upgraded their software or is it still unreliable ??? i need to know so that i can work out how many bottles of wine to consume to replace my "lost calories "

pasop wat jy se oor die KP's Spiderman

get well soon Ian J !!!

thanks leet

oh yes about a year ago my mom was very ill and she wanted me to sort out all her banking stuff and me to have power of attorney on her stuuf so we go to the saldanha branch and ask them if we can do it . My mom had severe gangerene in both feet and it was difficult to walk but she managed with lots of pain !!! so the Bank manager says we must transfer the account from durban before we can do it so we fill the forms in to have the transfer done and they say ok they will let us know when we can come in and do the other paperwork !!! to this day i am still waiting for them and my mom has subsequently passed away .... now they want me to sort her stuff out !!!! hulle kan loop naa speel!!! bunch of arseholes

i dont need a drink DG i need a freaking bottle !!!!napalm lend me a bomb please i would like to drop it on their doorstep to wake them up a bit !!!!

had some bad experince with ABSA aswell many years ago !!! they are just as bad !!! what is it with banks why dont they give a sh*t ???? there is no more personal touch any more !!!! i just dont get it really its not as if i am not who i was suppose to be hell man i got the sms and they can check my details like they ask me on the phone like check how often i have sex and when i last had a ride and who my grandmothers father was and all those security questions they ask you on the phone but no they want my passport verified by the SAPS WTF ....

i have never been so pissed off for a very very very long time i get this sms from the bank to say that i can go and collect my new bank card and that i must produce my id book or passport !!! i go in and they give me a speeil that i now need to get my passport certified WTF !!!! the police station is miles away and they should have told me that before i went in so i storm out and go to the standard bank and draw money and go back and ask them to give that to me in writing !!!! I am then told that can help me if i have a drivers licence WTF why did they not say so when i was there ???? i ask you with tears in my eyes what kind of help is that ???? they are getting worse by the day and i have been banking with them for 30 years what do i pay bank charges for that sh*t service ???? time to move on i say !!!! a few months ago my petro card was deactivated 3 days before it expired and i could not put in petrol and nobody could tell me why the transaction did not want to be authorized
