175 is the most common as far as I'm aware. It all depends on the frame size and how they decided to spec the bikes. I ride a small and mine came fitted with a 170.
If you are referring to the Sportstracker software then I think the heart rate value on the Workout webpage needs to be updated manually as it says "Heart Rate (manual)". There is nothing in the manual about it either. I haven't used the software myself but will be using it very soon as I've also got the E71. To all except FlyingCheetah - go hijack in Chit Chat. This is Tech Shack
Is it just me or is this wrong? NEWBY0007 first of all says that he doesn't want to sell his 94.7 entry and then he asked for R500 for it!?! Surely we should not be making a profit from selling race entries....or am I wrong? https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=35758&PN=1Mandibles2008-10-30 12:04:06
I don't live there but my family does. Can't wait for the December holiday as I will be there for 10 days and I've yet to ride all the singletrack and jeeptrack. Karkloof is just up the road from here too. I'm not sure how safe it is to ride around Karkloof on my own though. I felt totally safe in the game reserve. There are cottages in the nature reserve if you plan on spending the night in the area.
Yip, it is too small. He's getting a new bike for Christmas and I've been tasked with finding him one that is suitable. I'll make a separate post asking for suggestions as I have no idea what size to get him.
I went riding in Umgeni Valley Nature Reserve recently. It is situated on the outskirts of Howick. Howick is fairly close to Pietermaritzburg for those who don't know where it is. It is worth a visit and they are very keen on having cyclists ride in the reserve. I bought an annual ticket as my mom lives right next door and it cost me R220. I can also take up to 4 family members in with me each time. What a bargain hey! There is a mixture of farm roads, jeep track and singletrack. The reserve is open from 6 am till 7pm in summer. Here's some pics of a ride I did with my nephew. View from Umgeni Valley towards my mom's complex. There's a nice braai area right near this waterfall. Howick Falls is towards the left. I never took a pic of it as it was quite misty. This is the top road. It consists of quite a few little ups and downs and is nice and fast. The rolling hills. Some of the wildlife... The road you can see down below in the valley is jeep track. A couple of the very steep climbs have concrete paths.
