  1. I am trying to find a rear derailleur hanger for a Pinarello FP6 without much success. Will try ASG this morning. I remember seeing a thread a while ago (cannot find it) about a company in Jhb that can actually cut these hangers from alluminium. Does anybody know who can do this cutting
  2. It is actually not BS. Although Shimano might still supply the 8,9 and 10spd parts the useless Sa Agents does not have stock available in 10 speed. Spoke to 3 different shops in Jhb this morning to get a 10spd chain (105, ultegra or DuraAce) and a 10 spd Cluster again any of the 3 models. All three were out of stock and if they order the agent said it will only be available by end June as they need to do a special order - but they can supply me 11 speed. What a useless and unhelpful bunch. CWC does have but there delivery will only be here on Monday. So a weekend without cycling due to useless agents.
  3. http://si.shimano.com/#seriesList/51 Check this Shimano site with all their technical documents. I used that and now do all maintenance on our DI2 systems. Hope it help
  4. Can you guys please point me towards some info about all the various graphs, abbreviations and analysis available on Golden Cheetah software.
  5. Registered for tonight - hope to be on time. Else if its on Wednesday I cant make it.
  6. Basic range of tools required: Truing stand Spoke spanners - different sizes and shapes Spoke tension meter Dishing Tool Thru Axle adapter Spoke length calculator - available on the web.
  7. I understand that at Rosebank Clinic they do a Full Body scan after injecting some kind of dye. With that you can see every artery and every possible blockage or problem. This process is not cheap and most medical aids will not cover this. See more info: www.scanforlife.co.za I will be going in two weeks time - think its worth the cost if you had a problem or is high risk.
  8. When I read this I went cold as I had the same (not a stroke) but a full heart attack just after completing the Carnival City race two years ago. The symptoms were exactly the same as described. The good news is that after 4 stents a fairly long recovery period and then a slow start to built up fitness again I am back cycling as before the incident. The only negative effect is caused by the Beta Blocker medicine that keep my heart rate below 140. So my legs give in due to oxygen shortages. Make sure you recover full before you start exercising seriously. Get well soon and you can do the Sani in 2017
  9. If I remember correctly you can adjust the average speed of every virtual rider when you select your opponents.

    Cricket......

    I could not believe my eyes but Domingo was actually laughing about his own teams performance - maybe a Zuma copy
  11. I am using the Bushido with a desktop computer. I am using ANt+ with absolute no problems. I use the TACX ANT adapter on my computor. On setup you select Tacx Smart Trainer and it connects with no issues. Also connected it to my Android phone via Bluetooth without any issues.
  12. My apologies and thanks for the info. I was referring to the Edge 810 and was not aware that the 520 can do that. Every day something to learn
  13. Thanks Jaco Looks fast. Unfortuately I have family visitors so might not be on time. Will register just in case I can make it.
  14. Wednesday will suite me as well - great
  15. 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
  16. 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.
  17. Just saw a tweet that Jennie Stenerhag has withdrawn due to illness. Can anybody confirm this
  18. Was actually a good excuse to bail out - I was bleeding. But it was great see you next week
  19. You are right Harryn it was tough. Unfortunately my system stopped for no reason after 15,2 km. It was my 1st experience and really enjoyed it
  20. We did it last year. Tough but a great experience. Will be back
  21. Not correct. Your Garmin can pick up the trainer via ant and display the watts, cadence and speed and therefor record your ride, but you cannot control the resistance from the Garmin as the Garmin is a receiving device only using ANT. The only info the Garmin can send out is to download a historic ride via bluetooth.
  22. 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.
  23. Please send me the specs of the Propel small and medium. If they are standard as per website just send me the colours
