  1. I think the multiple addresses gives enough reason to assume dodgy.
  2. Hello, can you PM me as well please? Also having hassles with my Garmin which is only two months old. How long did it take to be sorted out?
  3. I've tried everything now, once I go into settings it simply says yes/no for monitor but no rescan. My sensor ID is showing 0000. Does anybody perhaps know where I can find out what my sensor ID is. Phoned Garmin which turned out as successful as phoning a cell phone company with a query.
  4. Thanks a mil, will give it a shot.
  5. Has anybody experienced any problems with heart rate not showing up at all? Since update my heart rate is not being read at all. Checked battery which is fine, replaced it anyway but still nothing. Has anybody any suggestions? Thanks all.
  6. Thanks, Clicks is right next door. Will go have a look
  7. Started shaving my legs a few months ago, like the look but my wife hates it. Must admit while I like the look it's a time consuming ordeal. I thought I could get away with shaving once a week but I find I have to every 2/3 day. The fact that razor blades cost the earth doesn't help either.
  8. Azonic, you really,really seem to have an axe to grind with Garth? Why use this forum to vent your obvious dislike for him and not go in there? This thread started out commending somebody for good service, something that is rare these days. However every time Action Cycles get's mentioned you feel a dire need to criticize them? Everybody is by now rather well aware of your obvious dislike for Garth, so why not leave it alone now?
  9. Thanks for that, looks very picturesque
  10. Just been reading about this race in George, looks really good but no profile pics. Has anybody done this before and what are their thoughts on the race? http://www.dryland.co.za/events.php
  11. I have a Vida 1 and can't fault it. Had a Phoenix before and loved every minute of it. Did Karoo to Coast on it and flew past some seriously expensive bikes. People have this perception that anything associated with a 'local' ( not anymore, German now as far as I know) that it is inferior. While I adore my Specialized road bike, I think the Silverback range are exceptional value. My bike weighs 10kgs and is full XT for 15k. How is that not good value?
  12. Just come back from watching, wind unbelievably strong . Was difficult for my kids to stand upright. Guys and girls taking serious strain, once they turn then they fly with westerly behind them but to get to that mark they are really battling in this wind, plus it's a cold wind on top of that. Just been chatting to American competitor who's chain snapped, well done to Wayne Pheiffer helping out with chain breaker.
  13. Not in PE unfortunately, only had Endurance in orange flavour. Also agree that both Endurance and Accelerate are brilliant products.
  14. Frankly Hayley I think you have a little too much time on your hands. Tires being pumped too hard? And as far as not knowing what the full service was, the huge board on the wall gives a breakdown of what each service entails, failing that why not ask beforehand? Yes, there was an occasion when I had to take my bike back a second time. They did however find the fault and sorted out pronto a day before I was doing Double Century. Most bike shops will point out that us as riders are usually a little vague when it comes to pointing out whats wrong. " A funny noise/creak'' doesn't usually give surgical precision to where the problem is. The main thing is that they are always willing to try find the problem and sort it out. If they had adopted an attitude then yes you are correct in slating non existent service. From what I can gather from your lengthy tirade is that they have been more than willing to assist you.
  15. I have to agree, always had brilliant service from them as well. Have bought all my bikes, shoes, components from them. Prices are good and find staff very helpful. And no, I don't work for them.
  16. Does anybody know if it's being televised here?
  17. As far as I know the store is not an actual Specialized Concept Store.
  18. I've never been to the store or dealt with them so I have nothing to gain. At the same time I have a jewellery store and when the day comes that I can predict when we are going to be that much busier that it warrants getting extra staff in I'll be a happy man. I understand your frustration at waiting, however sometimes you are either busy with something or a problem as such. In all honesty if you had gone in with a problem and halfway through they dropped you to attend to a customer you would understandably be hacked off. I also agree with the comment of being pounced on as you walk in, Sportsmans Warehouse are brilliant at that, within 5 min of being there I get asked 10 times if I need assistance. So with that I seldom go there now.
  19. Thanks Crowdude, I'm more than likely going to get one. Although I haven't the faintest idea how to use the cadence feature
  20. Thanks Stretch, I appreciate that. Let me know how you get on with it? Take care
  21. Hello all, considering getting a Bryton 35. Mainly road biking and occasionly MTB. Has anybody got or had one of these and what are there thoughts on the unit? Have considered Garmin 500 but due to price thinking of Bryton.Thanks all and take care
  22. Well said, unfortunately very true. We experienced same here in PE recently with four separate incidents of cars deliberately trying to bump us off in Marine Drive in one morning alone. And before everyone gets their knickers twisted, we always ride single file on that road.
  23. What's it called, 'Don't look back' ?
  24. Just picked up new edition of UK's Cycle Sport magazine and he's on the cover with title of 'Britain's Best Ever Grand Tour Ride'. Well deserved Chris,
  25. Wayne, you're more than welcome. Thanks for the support and kind words.
