Good morning everyone
So I don’t like the big bulky edge 800 on mu stumpy. So i got a watch.
And then i also got these slicks for the amashova on my hardtail from a very generous fellow rider. It makes a huge difference. And im enjoying them.

Thanks. Ill go have a look and read up on the specs. Sorry for the frustration.Even the takealot link that you would have clicked on, if you had scrolled down under description, it says under connectivity.... bluetooth and no Ant
No sorry. Im driving.You incapable of doing a google search for the answers?
If you had just looked up the specs of the Suunto you will see it is bluetooth smart only!!
So to answer your query .... NO it will not pair

Thanks.
ThanksSuunto is Bluetooth-only, I believe
HiYou can buy the Vivoactive 3 from Amazon in the UK, landed in South Africa for under R3k.

The new Forerunner 45S can be had for a similar price:

Any chance you will want to do a triathlon? Then you may want to consider the Suunto Spartan Trainer.

Thank you very much. I think the way to go will be the suunto. Will a garmin ant cadence sensor pair on it?
ThanksYes, it can be set to be turned off.
Are you able to turn that alerts off?If in doubt, google. IMO looking at this the Forerunner comes out tops.

I have the Forerunner 30 which is model below and really happy with it, OK maybe not all the time as it keeps telling me to "MOVE" when it picks up I've been inactive. The "Find my Phone" option has helped me on many occasions though.
Hi guys
Thanks for the info. So if it has the water rating of swim can i se with it and it will log calories burned and distance and time or not at all?
HiI just bought the foreunner xt735 . does the whole running, swimming , cycling thing all the cadence wrist activated HR monitor , smart notifications etc e and one can download apps for MTB, weigthlifting , different watch faces etc Retails for apporx R4500. So more upper end .
Thank you very much. But that is a bit out of my price range.
Good afternoon hubbers
I’ve searched for a post of the above and didn’t find anything.
Which one of the above would be the better option for some mountain biking, swimming and to do spinning with?
I would like daily tracking, smart notifications, connect a cadence sensor and have Bluetooth connection to upload to apps in ios. I have an edge 800 on my bike but would prefer a watch out of personal preference.
Forerunner @ R2789
Vivomove hr @ R3289
Thanks in advance.
I second that. Ill definitely put in an order.That Chap needs to start taking orders here on Le Hub

Very nice. I almost bought a kickr snap earlier but decided to rather save up and get a direct drive from the start. What app do you use to train on?Thanks, she lives on the trainer in winter but occasionally comes off for a winter ride
Cos the trainer is a direct drive- it’s a quick process to remove the rear wheel and pop it onto the trainer. The Wahoo’s have great compatibility with MTB’s in general
Lekker. So every time you train you have to take your axel out? Do you leave it on the trainer and take it off just when going to ride?
From me to me:
Apparently you need to upgrade your trainer to Eagle as well
(The flowers for the Mrs are part of the groupset
)
Hi.
What trainer and bike are you using?
Enjoy! May you have many safe and pleasurable kms
Great buy.A New Toy!
Have you taken it on a test ride?
Very nice. What wrench set is that and if i may ask where did you get it?
Congrats. It’s a huge difference. Have lots of fun!Also upgraded from my El Cheapo to a Scott 29er:
First to go was the spoke reflectors...
Thank you very much. It rides like a dream. Smashed 95% of my personal records on trails already.Good for you, man.
Beautiful
So today I took the old 26er out. Let me think of all the great kilos ive done on it and some awesome crashes too! Anyway today was the first time in many years i patched a tube. Man i love tubeless tires.
So I mounted the bike and set the resistance. Man I didn’t think that an idt could make so much noise. Now i now why guys are put off by them.
Can it be because it’s a cheap trainer and the tacx blue matic will be softer as i heard in YouTube videos?
Will a training tyre be a bit softer?
