  1. Eddie, are you okay, are you okay Eddie, you been struck down, by a smooth criminal...
  2. Hi guys, where can i find a bottle cage which mounts lower down or maybe has a slider, or various mounting points. My wife's Titan small has a standard cage in, but normal size bottle almost touches her shock. She also doesn't like that its not easy to get the bottle out and in again while riding. I tried one of my old side loaders cage, its even worse, then a standard bottle touches the tip of the shock. There is so much wasted space currently below her bottle, wish they made the holes lower down, then you would not have this problem. Where do i start looking for something.......?
  3. Are you sure you covered for full comprehensive or just 'stolen' insurance....
  4. How did the damage happen, accident?
  5. I see you can buy Enura from a host of local suppliers, not sure what Torn is up to now.........it never ends it seems....
  6. Huawei doesn't run android, might be wrong though.
  7. After a lot of Google searching, it seems the megane or varia can pair with watches that have ant +, and my wifes Huawei gt5 has this, so perhaps it can work, not sure how the alerts would work but its better than nothing. Anyone paired one of these radar lights to there ant + watches, any feedback?
  8. Hi Buff, good advise, and that's exactly what i am going to do. Her H2 settings are the same as mine, so i agree 200%. Her zone 5 should perhaps only start at 165, perhaps range from 165 to 180. If i look at her graphs, its very flat, no peaks, even when we train. I will see if i can get some screenshots and share here.
  9. Thanx Quade, this helps a lot. Its scary how we just Google everything and just assume things...
  10. She is using the new Huawei GT5, i have the GT4, we love these watches, and they talk to you while you are riding. In a race its very cool to know what zone you are in, or when you are in recovery. In the heat rate settings on the watch i can actually adjust her zone 5, so maybe i would do that, increase it so zone 5 only starts at say 165bpm, mind wise, it might 'look' better, make her feel better, but as Wannabe said, every single person is different.
  11. Thanx for this info. This really makes me feel a lot better. You must be super fit to have a resting of 47, still reach 180's, and such a high average!! Thats really amazing. She does not feel dizzy, i will try see who can do a load test. This is good advise, thanx.
  12. Hi guys, girls 😀 Need some advise. My wife and i have started to train [mtb cycle] a lot, around 3 to 4 times per week. We have also entered a few races the last two weeks, the last one was actually yesterday where Wify got a first place in general ladies and in her age group [masters aged 50 to 60], she is 51. Very chuffed for her 😍. The problem is this. Her average heart rate stays around 161bpm, max heat rate on hectic climbs tips 176bpm. Her watch tells her, or should i say warns her that she is in zone 5 for lets say almost an hour out of a whole race. Her watch subsequently says around 74 hours of recovery is needed, which i do agree with. I am however worried about her high average heart rate [around 161bpm]. If i look at her graphs, she starts to hit around 150 then 160 very early into each race. Does this mean she is not fit enough, or cycling too hard? If i Google they say 220 minus age, for max heart rate, but that is just a general rule isn't it... Her resting heart rate is 56, and her heart rate drops quick once we have finished the race, so in my mind, she is not 'unfit', but perhaps not fit enough, or should we start slowing down so she is not in max effort for 90% of the race? If so, what training or cycle training when we do go in the week would be good to get her average heart rate lower, or are some people just 'beating faster' ? She does feel tired after each race but i just dont want her to damage her heart, hence why i am asking, maybe i have over worried, but keen to hear thoughts please. I suggested we start doing training rides in zone 3 for perhaps an hour and a half, to build up endurance perhaps, where you only average around 140bpm, maybe that would help? Most races she does are short ones, weekend warrior type, 30km, some 35km, so its fast from the start. If i think back to years back, her average heart rate has always been way higher than mine, but now that we really trying to enter as many races as we can, just a bit worried.
  13. What is the cross cape route for interest sake, cost, accomodation etc..?
