    Very happy with my Stages. PM's became a hit and lots of people invested in expensive technology. BUT - if you don't use it properly and with some knowledge about power training it became just an expensive gadget with no benefit. I personally think most of the PM's for sale is from this category.

    What took the longest was to put the Bushido together. If I remember about 1/2 an hour. To connect to computer is easy and quick. Plug in the Ant adapter, included in Tact Bushido package and pair the computer and trainer. Less than 15 minutes It really is that simple. What took the longest was to download the software. I tried it with CVT, Zwift and Tacx software. Worked fine

    I also promised myself never a Tacx again. Lightning struck our house and both my trainers were toast. Insurers insist to replace with the same as what I had so was forced to go Tacx again. Got the Bushido and use it with Cycleops Virtual Trainer software. What a pleasure - no issues what so ever for the last six months. Tacx Software - stay away if you don't want to get totally frustrated.

    Have a chat to Marz Cycles. He has some awesome deals on Bianchi / Giant/ Merida frames and can built to your specs. See his adverts in Classifieds

    Would like to echo the comments on this excellent race. Must be the best one day event and always a great atmosphere. Even great weather this year. The starts at all the stages this year was a bit chaotic and unorganized. I think this had to do with the CSA racing license issue, so only racing licensed cyclist could start in the various categories the rest of us all dumped in comrades. If this process can be smoothed and sorted all will be 100% - see you next year

    " now if that is a decision that Shimano / coolheat has made to only supply physical brick and mortar shops and not to supply online retailers.... that would boggle my mind, again not sure if its the case or not. But no surprises with grey imports and CRC growing hand over fist." The above are actually 100% correct. When we planned to start an online store about two years ago we applied to deal with Coolheat and Omnico. They both point blank refused as we did not have a physical operating store. Thet would only consider registering us as a dealer once they inspected our site (Bicycle Store)

    To the guys using ZWIFT. Do you know if its possible to connect two trainers to one computer and ride at the same time. I cannot find anything like that in the info or the ZWIFT site This can be done on CVT with the "Real partner" function

    Can you guys please point me towards some info about all the various graphs, abbreviations and analysis available on Golden Cheetah software.

    I could not believe my eyes but Domingo was actually laughing about his own teams performance - maybe a Zuma copy

    Guys I am not shooting down GP's but after my experience my suggestion is go and see a Cardiologist for a proper detailed check. I did a "full medical" with my GP a week before my Heart attack. ECG, blood pressure, cholesterol and everything else, including blood tests and he gave me the OK. 9 days later I was in Intensive care and very blessed to be alive. OP PM me and I'll refer you to the best Cardiologist - and very close to you

    High Blood Pressure is not something you want to diagnose or treat yourself without a proper medical examination. Trust me I realised that after a heart attack when I thought I was fit with low colesterol and a bit of high blood pressure. Talking from experience - go get a proper examination to establish the cause and remedies.

    Trying to find some info about the 2016 event but their website has not being updated. Does anybody know if its still on and when.

    I am a bit lost here and can'f find the answer scrolling through the topic. My STAVA still linked to Vitality. Does that not count any more. What does vitality accept now - Garmin Files / Trainingpeaks ??? Also looked at the Vitality web and it still shows my Strava as linked

    Just check if the drivers are installed correctly. This was the main issue when I changed computers to get it working. Once I downloaded the new driver and installed that no further issues.

    Congratulations to our girls, after all they don't select themselves. But we are going backwards as everything else in the RSA. If memory serves me right we achieved 1st and 2nd last year in the time trial. Ashleigh 1st and Heidi Dalton 2nd. Now we are happy with a 3rd. The girl that won was 5th last year - in my book that is progress.

    Absolutely the best if you can get hold of it. Last time I got some from ToolUp in Centuriun

    I have the following to sell: 1. Around 1986 Bianchi Frame with Groupset - this frame is a nickel plated metal frame that's been resprayed. 2. Shimano Dura ace Groupset - no idea of year model See full details in the classified section PM me for more photos and details

    I have this Bianchi not sure of the model to sell. I finished the build with an old Suntour groupset excluding wheels and BB. Anybody that can give me an estimate on the value. Frame was cleaned of all old paint and whole frame was I think nickel plated. Then resprayed, decals added and clearcoated. Will post some pictures of current status later.

    Was a great event. I agree that the last 10 sucked but apparently that was due to a local farmer given short notice that his land is not available and organisers had to improvise to get the distance close to the advertised 80km

    Anybody with a extra 50 mm carbon rim (rim only) please let me know. I busted my rear rim in a pothole and need to replace

    Remember most people are already in or on their way to Cape Town with their bicycles. Cancelling the CTCT there will be no organised ride and all these people will hit the various roads in any case. That will also spell chaos in my dictionary

    Wat jy waar kry? I phoned them 3 times to get Easton wheel straight pull spokes and every time got the answer "I will check quickly and phone you back" Still waiting to get a response.
