  1. https://suntrix.co.za/product/lifelynk-4000w-all-in-one-solar-inverter-and-battery/ Hi guys, can I get your advice on this product please?
  2. That kid won Under 17 age cat at WC Champs last week.
  3. So is Fenix 6 overkill for non-cycling activities. Essentially I need a watch to track daily activities like steps, calories burnt, fatigue etc
  4. 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?
  5. 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
  6. 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.

  8. Chavez signed a contract extension with Mitchelton Scott
  9. Unfortunately I didn't. In fact it was the last thing on my mind at the time. Thanks tho.
  10. Thanks for posting this alert Milky. I was the intended target of these a*holes this morning. Luckily I was alert enough to suspect something was going to happen. I also have to thank the 2 motorists who stopped when I flagged them down. The thugs saw this and drove off. So thanks to the guy in the Ford Everest and to the couple in the Toyota Fortuner. They were kind enough to drive behind me till I got to a busier section of road.
  11. Im just happy that I got everything. It was a risk but it worked out.
  12. Update: I received everything from Chain Reaction Cycles. Skynet delivered my package this morning. You guys think the tide has turned?
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. Lost my garmin 520 in the racing tandem group that had combined with the & group where there was a crash. This was during the cape cycle tour along misty cliffs section. 0825630876

  17. If you use Aramex Global Shopper for a european based online shop say like Bike24, then you tax twice right?
  18. 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
  19. I am with Alexander Forbes. My bike is specified under household contents and my cars. Premium on my R70k bike is R200 per month. Never had any issues when I claimed.
