    So is Fenix 6 overkill for non-cycling activities. Essentially I need a watch to track daily activities like steps, calories burnt, fatigue etc

    Hi guys, Thinking of getting a Garmin watch as well. Not sure if i need to get a Fitness watch or smartwatch. I have Garmin 520 on my bike so I just need something to do sleep tracking, body battery etc when im off the bike. Someone mentioned a Fenix 6 might be overkill? Is this where a Vivoactive 4 or Venu 2 is more ideal for off the bike monitoring?

    sorry to hear. Same road where there was attempted bike jacking on me. 3 guys in a Nissan 1400 tried their luck. I managed to getaway. They also fled in direction Du Noon

    i went from a Scott Spark dual susser back to a hardtail. Hardtail seems sharper and more responsive. I realised the dual susser made me lazy.

    Update on my side. DHL called me on Tuesday to tell they have a package for me and VAT is payable. They asked if they can email the invoice. The invoice popped into my inbox wednesday. I forgot to pay it and remembered at around 10pm that I need to pay. On the invoice was a payment portal similar to PayGate. DHL handling Fee was R150. Thursday morning at at 10am DHL was at my door. The other half of my package with SkyNet. They emailed me monday to say there is Vat payable. They sent invoice yesterday. I made payment today. Handling fee R200 I will keep you updated.

    Been following this thread for a while and it put me off buying anything from CRC. But last week they had a really great deal on a frame. So I figured I would take the risk since its such a big parcel. My logic is that it will be in a big box so they wont be able to miss or forget something like that on the shelf somewhere in the warehouse. I decided to add pedals and a pair of tyres to the order as well. Order was paid for and then they sent me an email to say that the pedals and tyres were despatched on 16th May with Skynet. Turns out they sending 2 separate packages. 2 days later the frame gets dispatched with DHL. So now im thinking those pedals and tyres is a lost cause and I should forget about it. There were no tracking updates on their site since the stuff left the warehouse. This morning I get an email from Skynet to say I should fill out the clearance form and they will send me the Vat invoice to pay. Im feeling optimistic about this order but lets see how it ends. According to DHL my frame landed this morning. A day earlier than scheduled. No one made contact with me yet.

    If you use Aramex Global Shopper for a european based online shop say like Bike24, then you tax twice right?

    Hi, Unfortunately, crank-based power metres like the Pioneer, Stages and 4iiii wont work on the Scotts that have the brake caliper under the BB. Other options are Garmin pedals and Powertap pedals. Another option would be to change the caliper to a TRP caliper that sits more flush

    The article is a bit vague. Is Knox racing Rocky Mountain bikes? Are they just supplying him with bikes as brand ambassador? Or is he on the pay roll now as a pro.

    That substance is almost found in any medication even off the shelf Vicks Medinite

    Why is phentermine so popular among the JHB guys? Pieter Suyffert was popped for the same substance.

    Been riding with a powertap for close to 5 years now. Best investment ever. Training is so much more efficient.
