I am 106kg 1.94mt. I ride a Merida 120XT RC with Race Rekon 2.35 as standard equipment. My approximate pressures are as follows: Front 1.5 Bar Rear 1.8 Bar. These give me the best traction over the surfaces that I ride - vineyard trails, mountain trails - Lourensford etc. My tyres are tubeless. If you are still running tubes, you're going to need more air.... Trial and error at the end of the day.

Thank you to all for the recommendations, comments etc. I appreciate the effort. I went for the Garmin Edge 530 and for the following reasons: - Fully integrated with my medical aid. - Components are in house and not third party. - Newer system / model. - In stock at time of purchase. So far, I did not find it a mission to set up. It was easy enough once I mastered which button did what. So now we will try it out and see how it goes.

Alas no. At this stage Discovery discounts are determining which units are possible.

I hear you. I am also wondering if the features of the 530 aren"t too much for me hence the turmoil. Thanks for the heads up. I will check DC Rainmaker now.

I am in the market for a new computer. I am currently using a Polar watch and would like to upgrade to something mounted on the bars for ease of reference. I am in a quandary though. There is so much to choose from, however, I have whittled it down to 3 possibilities: 1. Wahoo Bolt 2. Garmin Edge 530, or 3. Garmin Edge130. Can anyone give positive or negative views on these units. Is it all getting so technical with all the data available that maybe the Edge 130 is the best route to follow???? I don't know. Anyone? Please! PS: This has been posted in Computers and Tech but there is not even one opinion after 35 views. Lost in the backroom.

I recently designed my own item using Autodesk. Free download for 30 days and thereafter free for domestic use / non commercial gain. I have only ever designed basics things on Turbocad so was very hesitant. I soon got the hang of it. Saved the drawing to a .STL file. Emailed the .STL file to a chap with a 3D printer and voila. 4 samples later I was happy with the end result.

And there I had my hopes up..... Thanks for the heads up. Good work everyone.

Good day All. Newbie to the forum here. Took to mountain biking 2 years ago due to injuries etc whilst attempting to do trail runs. At 50 years and 109 kg, at the time, trail running is NOT the ideal sport for you. However, Mountain biking is and has me completely hooked. Besides, you cannot sit around and do nothing! You will simply just cease up. Hear this you youngsters, stay active. Live in the Cape and currently riding a Silverback hardtail on the Wannabees trails and Lourensford farm. An awesome part of the world to train in and have fun. Itching to get into my first dual suspension. I look forward to contributing to this forum if and where I can and also from gaining useful insight into the vast experience that must exist here. Happy cycling. P
