    Review: Garmin fenix 3

    Izak replied to Matt's topic in New Gear

    Hehe no seriously I quite like it especially on the long rides / straights or long climbs. And using that in conjunction with Wattbike data gives you a good indication of what you are doing and should be doing. But I agree that on trail type riding it's not really of any use except for giving speed in wooded areas when GPS reception might not be so good. I just bought one to go with my Fenix3 but have not fitted it yet.

    Once I think yes but that was when I was lapping you....

    I agree, it gets really painful if they start to chafe a 1/4 of the way in. So normal shorts are a no no for me either unless if they have those tight-like inners.

    Check SportsmansWarehouse as well, First Ascent just launched some nice trail running kit with better prices. http://www.sportsmanswarehouse.co.za/?submit=&subcats=Y&status=A&match=all&pshort=N&pfull=N&pname=Y&pkeywords=N&search_performed=Y&q=trail&dispatch=products.search&viewall=true

    It's only useless if you push your bike a lot

    If you want the bomb shorts buy the Salomon Men's S-Lab EXO Twinskin. They are super comfortable and light. Only problem is the price tag... they are hellishly expensive as with most Salomon stuff, but in saying that I have 4 pairs of Salomon shoes, many T-shirts, running shorts, socks, caps, hydration pack etc. hehehe...shhhhhhhhh I love their stuff and really swear by it. Otherwise Asics also make some that have the inner sleeve almost light a short tight on the inside which really helps with chafing.

    Gymlink is the analogue way Polar uses to transmit HR so that the watch can be used while swimming since BT doesn't transmit under water. I would say to tray and unpair and pair when your missus' sensor is not closeby.

    Have you paired your sensor with the watch via bluetooth? It seems like this indicates that it is using Gymlink to get your heartrate like when swimming.

    Polar V800

    Izak replied to SwissVan's topic in New Gear

    Hi Guys I just picked up anew unit from Polar in Midrand. It first started by not wanting to make contact unless you press the charger connection onto the watch. I then started noticing that the cover was separating on the righthand side of the watch. Apparently this is an issue with the battery swelling. So just keep an eye on it. While i was there another guy came in with the same symptoms starting to show on his watch.

    Very nice!!!!

    I always apply a good bit (cover the chain and links properly) about 20 minutes (a while) or so before my ride / race. And if I have time just a quick 'squirt' before the actual ride. Put the nozzle to the chain with your fingers around the spokes steading your hand and the bottle a few mm from the chain and squeeze whilst turning the crank backwards. That's how I do it, others might do it differently.

    Yip it is local, was more referring to local as in Gauteng, therefore the 'local'

    Chain sticks like a mother had it fold over twice on itself after sucking to the chainring. I am sure there are as many guys that will vote for it, but not for me I threw away 2 bottles after the race and buying some Squirt today. It has always worked for me, good lube and protection and doesn't collect dirt like Smoove. I have tested squirt in a lot of conditions especially in very wet and muddy conditions down in the Eastern Cape on stage races and it has always worked for me. Pity cause I would have loved to support Smoove, being 'local' n all edit: Oh and Squirt doesn't take industrial type action and cleaning agents to remove afterwards like Smoove.

    Smoove suxs literally. Cost me a possible podium last weekend. Another Squirt forever!!!
