Polar Pacer, it doesn't connect at all, it ised to, but for the last 3 weeks or so, it does not connect on IV/TPV at all, but Zwift on Saturday it connected no problem

Ya, I will have to do that, was hoping to not have to do that, maar nou ja....

So it is an issue with IndieVelo/TPV, I tried again on IndieVelo to connect last week, still cant get my watch/HRM to connect, did a ride on Zwift after that, connected no problem, downloaded and setup TPV, wont connect to my watch/HRM, very frustrating

Blown, zero damping, bouncing like a pogo stick

Happened to my Schwalbe tyre as well, after like 3 months, I think they may be poor quality tyres

Ya, probably the same guy, black and green dual sus and his friend was on a yellow road bike, old Trek I think

Saw a dude on a dual sus mtb that had a blown rear shock, made me feel sea sick watching him bounce around the road

I have 12 speed SLX on my bike and it shifts perfectly, never have any problems with it, and it very rarely ever needs any adjusting

I haven't seen any with anything to hold that flap open, but have seen many people doing many different macguyver moves to keep that flap open, loads of things you could potentially do

I also use one of these ratcheting cargo pole things https://www.outdoorwarehouse.co.za/product/securetech-cargo-bar-ratchet-type I put it as high up in the load bed as possible and just far enough forward that it pushes your front wheel out a little bit further over the back of the tailgate, sort of wedging the rear tyre under the cargo bar, this helps keep the bike a little sturdier, and then I also put 2 elastic bunjee straps on the front wheel so the wheel doesnt spin around and the it cant flop around and hit the bumper. It is a little bit of a mission to get everything setup nicely, but once it is done, loading and unloading the bike is a breeze

Same same for me I had the Freerider Pro, and honestly, thought they were pretty swak for what they are supposed to be, didnt even last me 2 years and soles had holes in and started delaminating, the 2FO grip far better in my experience, and they seem to be lasting better as well

I am somewhere in that picture 🤣

How much are they worth to you 😋 I have from SRAM Codes, with the little matchmaker nut, if they will work, and you can make a plan to get them to you....

Mixed bag of feelings for this one, happy I finished but not really happy with my time or decisions on the day. On the highway leading up to Woodmead, I am terrible with road names so I dont know what highway it is, I was having a decent time, till I noticed some wheelsuckers on me, I am big so naturally, on the downs I am pretty fast, anyway, at one point I commented and asked if they are enjoying the tow, to which I got a few laughs, and they said they would return the favour, so I thought I would push a little harder to get a good pace going, and they did help out a little here and there, but everytime they got on the front the pace dropped quite a bit, so just because I am an idiot, I stayed on the front more than I should have, anyway, at the water point just before Woodmead, the road got a little crowded and people just weren't riding so lekker, and the 3 dudes that were riding with me just disappeared ahead 🫠 and from there on it was kinda lonely, joined the odd group till Kyalami, tried to recoup from burning myself out, but my left Hammie was really upset with me, so I just kinda plodded along from there, I knew my day was over. My consolation prize, 2 of the guys that dropped me, I caught and passed on Jan Smuts, and the last guy I caught and passed on the M2 just after the last waterpoint, glad I beat them 🤣🤣 from there I think the guys name is Mike, from Carbon Bike Repair, we rode and chatted a little and he gave me a nice pull for the last stretch which was pretty fun. Ag well, goals not met, but it was still a lekker day out with no incidents, so it was a good day 💪🏼
