We have an exciting new offering for all the cycling enthusiasts in the SA market! We're now proud to introduce the Muc-Off chain optimization, which is available through select retailers (see the link below to find an Authorised Retailer). To answer a question that will come up; what makes the Muc-Off Chain Optimization so special? It uses state-of-the-art ultrasonic tanks to give your chain a deep clean before applying either the Muc-Off Hydrodynamic or Ludicrous AF lube. These lubes are also applied using ultrasonic tanks for even deeper penetration, due to being heated at precise temperatures required to create the optimum viscosity for the lube to penetrate deep into all contact points within the chain links. If you're curious about what the process includes, you can find more information at the link below from Muc-Off. And if you're eager to try it out, simply click on the link to find your closest retailer. https://us.muc-off.com/pages/ultrasonic-chain-optimisation https://bicycle-power-trading.aweb.page/p/3056ce0d-74db-44f3-998e-5e805fa0f154 Let's take your drivetrain to the next level!

You can also try finding yourself a PowerTap Joule GPS bicycle computer, these were manufactured by the same company who made the IC so would have the ability to read the proprietary ANT connection. Finally, you can try the legacy version of TrainerRoad on a PC, they - to my understanding, have the ability to read the IC300

Nope the IC300 is not ANT+, it is ANT a proprietary version of ANT+ which most softwares stopped supporting some 2-3 years back.

Have you tried to contact Selfloops in Italy? They were granted a licence from CycleOps to be able to read the IC300 and the proprietary ANT connection. This would be via an app they developed compatible with select Android tablets

Thanks for reaching out to Bicycle Power Trading! You're welcome to contact us for any assistance you may need. Depending on the age of your unit, it may require a new belt and pulley wheel. Not to worry though, as we currently have these units in stock. Alternatively, you're welcome to purchase these service items online via bicyclepower.co.za and do the replacement yourself. What's great is that the belt ships with all the tools needed to open the non-drive side cover. So, you'll have everything you need to get the job done. If you have any further questions or need additional information, please feel free to get in touch with us. We're here to help!

Please reach out to us tomorrow - Bicycle Power Trading 0787086908 as I believe the Saris Bones 3 EX which has been designed with rear spoiler concerns in mind. The dogs leg and strap management system may work but we will need to know the year and exact model.

Have a look at our range of Saris Bones bike racks, they available through top retailers or Sportsman’s Warehouse, both the Bones 2 or Bones 3 EX will work. Depending on the size of the rear spoiler it may be suggested to look at the Bones 3 EX with extra support of rear spoilers.

Hi as i explained on the phone, the CycleOps Phantom 5 has been discontinued (has been for a number of years now) as have all associated spare / replacement parts. We are out of stock with no further abilities to restock due to the above mentioned - product and support parts have been discontinued from the original supplier. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks for your support and the purchase of a Saris Bones 3 EX bike rack, i am sure you will enjoy the rack! When it comes to ladies bikes or dual bus MTB's the use of a BikeBeam is strongly recommended, we are unfortunately sold out of these items are the boom in cycling and December peak season running stock down quicker than expected. Any BikeBeam alternative will work fine, Thule offer something as do some of the local brands, they will all be compatible with the Saris Bones 3 EX.

Have a look at the power2max spider, these are compatible with the new 12 speed shimano mtb cranksets. we have them in stock too.

The CycleOps Phantom 5 is "semi smart" in that is will control the resistance but is is not ANT+ FEC so will not be compatible within Zwift. It will allow you to connect to Zwift and do a workout i.e. ERG mode but will not function in normal sim more in terms of adjust gradient and then you change the gears. Rouvy is the only software that will allow the Phantom 5 to adjust the gradient and allow the rider to control their gears at the same time.

Take a look at the range of iGPSPORT sensors, all of which are dual ANT+ and BLE. Their HR40 is around R900 and the wrist HR60 around R1200.

For this set up my recommendation would be an ANT+ USB else see if your WiFi can be configured for 5GHZ. This would need to be done on your WiFi router. Below is a link to a pretty helpful article on what to look out for and what changes can be made to avoid signal dropouts. https://perfprostudio.com/webhelp/studio/index.htm?page=Interference.html

If you using BLE on a PC this can cause problems. It is recommended to use an ANT+ USB for PC's. Please share more info on the software and device that the software is installed on.

Hi, congratulations on the purchase of your Saris H3. Please can you confirm what software you are using and what device the software is installed on and then finally how the trainer is connected ie an ANT+ connection or Bluetooth connection.

Saris offer their TD1 which just arrived - https://www.bicyclepower.co.za/product/td1-trainer-desk/ The TD1 features adjustable height and a handy power strip to keep your favourite devices fully charged. With the days getting shorter spending more time on the trainer is becoming reality. Having quick and easy access to the likes of a cell phone, power bank, energy bar, sweat towel or even the water bottle means setting out "mission control" is part of the daily indoor training regime.

Hi all! To those who took part in our first Know No Bounds Tour event last night @ Sportopia Cycles, thanks for joining us. @Nick, we’re sorry you got taken at the line so close to the end of the evening! An MP1 will be at Sportopia Cycles for the next two weeks and we encourage all to experience what the platform has to offer. For those based in CT, we’ll be Caffe Neo (Mouille Point) tomorrow morning between 7:30AM - 11:30AM with the entire ecosystem, pull through, grab a cup of coffee on us and again, give the MP1 a try. It’s revolutionary.

Our basic Fluid smart equipped trainer is worth considering, out the box is is compatible with any and all trainer apps and has a speed sensor included. a free 1 month rouvy subscription is also included. https://www.bicyclepower.co.za/product/fluid-trainer-smart-equipped/

On the MTB side on things we have two hub options and two rim options.

The free hub offers a 30 tooth ring with 6 multi point engagements allowing for free hub engagement every 12' Spokes are Sapim CX-ray bladed with Sapim 16mm brass nipples (we run brass because they stronger, don't corrode and easier to work with). Wheels also include the tubeless tape and valves and then matching QR's (front and rear). Concept Speed carbon specific brake pads are included.
