  1. They Give U One 4 Times a Year - The More U Spend the Bigger the Voucher - Even If you don't Spend You still Get Something - LOL Then there is Surveys and Other Marketing Gimmics - Like Up to 100% off Your Purchase on a particular day or days.
  2. Actually Cycle Lab is Quite competitive on Price. They will Price Match. Got 2 MTB tyres yesterday for R650 Each. Now I'm Swimming in Lube and Coffee.
  3. Polar is a Good "Alternative" to Garmin.
  4. Apparently Heat damages the wax. 70 Deg C is enough to melt the wax.
  5. The "Best Bikes" Get "The Most Money" to buy "The Best Riders" Just Like Soccer and Formula 1
  6. If You Let the Wax set a bit before removing the Chain from the pot it will last longer. The secret is to fill the space Inside the rollers (D) with the wax ,oil,ptfe mixture and to let it set in there. If the Chain is removed too early the Mix will leak out of the Rollers. Excess Wax on the Outside will flake off and blow away. Check it after 100km
  7. Just be Careful Not to Spray your Brake Disks when Applying the Spray Lube specially if it is a Windy Day.
  8. There is Lot of New Races in the Middle East Which require these kinds of bikes or equivalent. Mind You TREK SA entered 2 SuperCaliburs in the Cape Epic 2023. Didn't do very Well for a Major Brand and were beaten by both teams on Cyphers.
  9. In Theory (Which is Unproven) If you never Charge to 100% Battery Lasts Much Longer. Some Laptops can be made to charge only to 80% which makes the battery last practically forever. If I Charge from 60% to 80 % It does not use a life. If I do that all the time then I keep a lot of Lives. The Last 20% of Charge Takes 80% of time and causes 80% of the Heat. Heat destroys Batteries. Chew on That.
  10. Battery will eventually fail on all Watches.
  11. I Dream About 2 Things. "Lady Gaga" and "Specialized" !!!!! I might get one of them !!!!!
  12. The Spez It's Got a Proper Intelligent Rockshox Shock, with 3 Modes, large Aircan Not an IsoStrut. The IsoStrut has a very Tiny Aircan.
  13. The Trek is Very Limited in the Rear travel Dept. Spez is Full House. Don't Compare.
  14. All Competing 2 Get 2 Water Bottles in the Front Triangle.
  15. Try Another Carbon Repair Shop. Second Opinion.
  16. I would get something more recent. The Geometry has improved a lot since 2017. Looking Forward !!!!!!
  17. It's Being Politically Correct not to have Pitchas on this Forum. Staying Clean. Nothing Wrong.
  18. Try Slime Sealant. https://www.sportsmanswarehouse.co.za/product/slime-tube-sealant/
  19. You are Missing the Carbs.
  20. Support Your Local Bicycle Shop. They Really Need Your Business Right Now.
  21. The Reason Battery on watch Gets Weak is because of continuously charging to 100%. It's a Lithium Ion Battery Problem. Do This, Every time you have a Shower Put Watch on Charge Once You Finished Showering take watch and put it on your wrist. Battery will Last Years Longer. Garmin is the Best but It's Not Practical to Repair Sealed Units. (Unfortunately)
  22. Can They Replace Slider Bushing on all Rockshox Forks ? Is there a List of Which Models can be Done ? Why I ask is that the Sektor has a Bulge where the bottom Bushing Sits.
  23. I clean them with Paraffin. They Come Out like New. Dries In Minutes in the Sun. after Squeezing it Out. Never Had a Problem.
  24. Just Ask the Bicycle Shop to Check All the Electronics. If they Have another Titan E-bike Insist on Riding It. You can Also go to another Shop and ask for a Test Ride.
  25. Not the Right Forum at All, You should Know Better. Scold Scold
