Personally, I'd be putting pressure on the authorities and your legal team to catch the perpetrator. I've asked before on this thread - if your efforts on social media flush him out, what are you going to do? You have to be so careful with your legal steps otherwise you stand a good chance of getting no result, or worse, a reciprocal case against you You cant be upset at the person if he wishes to remain silent or hidden - most people would do the same In that vein then, any news from the feds or your legal team on the case?

Sho, it might be easier then for him to start with you and peel off when he wishes to discontinue Or sell his entry and smile and wave as everyone comes past wits, then rides at another shorter event when he's healed up

Seems my rant helped. They've somehow managed to test the unit and determine that it needs to be replaced FOC under warranty. They also created a job card as well as the shipping documents needed all in the space of 34min. Why did it take 7 days and an irate phone call to get that service?

Just got off the blower with them. I'm utterly appalled by the lack of feed back and accountability All they could tell me was I will receive an email by COB tomorrow... which I find p!ss poor as a response from a big brand name. From what I did learn on the 9min phone call was that the 530 I dropped off is the only one in for replacement/repairs for the last week now, and unfortunately there is only one technician working on a range of different units. This is why its a minimum of 7 to 10 working days for them to give you a reply and a finding. But because they do not have a proper ticketing system with reference numbers of units that come in (read as any type of garmin product), there is no proper systems in place to give correct feed back to clients, nor the attention to the repairs - I got the impression its on a first come first serve basis and if the technician decides to work on the 530's on day 9, well, then that's your rotten luck. Its a pity though as I truly believe they are market leaders for systems and integrations into IOT and the likes, but their local back office really needs a shake up

Yeah, I hear you. I've heard nothing for a week since dropping the 530 off with them for replacement. In a world where after sales service is so important, the times when the little things get overlooked is incredible. I do love my Lezyne

with 4 batteries...I'd hazard a guess he only changed it once though You'd be surprised how bullet proof the axs systems are

They're racing, saw some clips of a batch starting. Reminded me of a mass start at the midmar mile

The trick is to actually answer the call, then hang up. Then block it The automated services are designed to repeat call (every few days) until the system recognizes an answered call, then it assumes its delivered its message to you and removes your number from the dialing list

Postnet it over the weekend, it should be by them on monday - call them to explain and I'm sure they'll be able to help out

We also had a 530 die on us recently, took it to Garmin myself. They said they'll send the replacement to me in 5 days, which will put it bordering on delivery before 94.7 That being said, if you are not in Joeys you can either send it direct to Garmin for warranty or send it to me and I'll take it there for you, explain your need for it and hopefully they can rabbit hat something in time for you As for a cheap (bullet proof) replacement, get a Lezyne. New they're about 2k for a super enhanced gps which will monitor your cadence, hrm etc.

2 cable ties aint a crisis, but I do agree that an online system could be put to better use

Thanks Frosty Your battery is going flat - like their reply

Might be a little thread drift, but where is CSA in all of this? Do they not have T&C's that cover the rider (read as member paying the R50 or annual membership) in the event of a mishap like this, and insist on a full refund to the people that entered? Or are they merely happy to flex some muscles to the organisers and insist on a license per rider to get their cut of the cake from a mass event? I'd be surprised if they didn't have a horse in this race

Nah, we mob lynch in the south - solo artists are for pansys

Its in the latest race information pack sent out via email - handy little navigation tool the organisers set up: https://virgin-active-947-ride-joburg.herokuapp.com/

Geez, thats a lot of work to make a threaded rod. Dont you okes in the cape have a nut and bolt shop where you can buy a longish thin-enough bolt and just cut the head off wiff a hacksaw? Unless you're retired or work from home - carry on then

Top of Strawberries overlooking the south of Joeys yesterday arvie Then a little later on the other side The big smoke can give a pearler occasionally

I wonder if there's a land developer in the back ground to COJ flexing their muscles all of a sudden? One cant have pesky cyclists and runners following a trail right through a new development...

11% will be relative to the draw per hour More importantly is to know the recharge rate/time - that will give you an idea of how much time you need to reload the tank for the next round @TheoG - If you want R50 of prepaid to recharge the batteries in this overcast weather, let me know I'll send you a coupon 😉

Following! That'll be an epic ride Stephan

11%... Thats a big pull for the portable inverter. It'll be a good test to see what the actual draw down is over an hour - that'll give you a realistic time usage - maybe run the test when you have no shedding and check the recharge rate over the subsequent hour You'd get a longer use on the inverter if you drop the HT amp from the system when needed

Not GP, but @Naas has stock and their service to ship is top notch https://evobikes.co.za/?s=PG1070&post_type=product&type_aws=true&aws_id=1&aws_filter=1&awscat=Form%3A1+Filter%3AAll
