  1. I do it as follows - this corrects the bicycle used on your Strava profile (there may be another way for Garmin Connect). You create your different Activity Profiles on Garmin: MTB, Road, Gravel, Indoor etc. On Strava you can then link said activity profiles to your different bicycles under "Gear settings". Mine looks as follows: The correct bike is then linked to activity once you've uploaded.
  2. Same here - my package from USA in Sandton for past two weeks. "Pending Customs..."
  3. Plug the unit in your PC and sync with Garmin Express - this will update the satellite data. If this doesn't solve the "acquiring satellites" issue, best to contact Garmin then.
  4. All the tech is droolworthy... E-bike, Flight Attendant and AXS Transmission... WOW!
  5. Hi all, I need some advice - my wife's Tacx Flow Smart doesn't transmit any data. The apps picks up the trainer, but once you start pedalling, nothing happens. I've done a firmware update to no avail. Light flashes blue like it should. Is there a fix or does this seem like a warranty case? (I bought second hand so might be a hassle) T.I.A.
  6. This is awesome - thanks!
  7. My idea is to have a default bike which is "E-bike" and not MTB/Road/Gravel as currently, and this would then automatically load as an E-bike activity. I've communicated this to Strava before but with no luck yet.
  8. I got one before lockdown, very happy with my purchase. Makes a very consistent coffee. I just need to up my frothing skills, but otherwise solid. Very convenient 5am in the morning.
  9. Hi Rival, I recently got the Fenix 6 Pro, the "black" is not that dark as it seems in the pictures. Before I had the Fenix 5 and a Fenix 3, both non - sapphire, and I'm very impressed with the Fenix 6, it was worth the upgrade for me - maps, music and NFC (contactless payments), sleep measures etc are now on the watch it self which is very nice. I can't comment on sapphire as I never had one before. The Fenix 6X Pro for R9999 is a very good deal imo, Takealot has daily Garmin specials so maybe hang ten a week or two and see if it pops up again?
  10. Very solid, I use it on my MTB and haven't had any problems
  11. I use the Specialized Flux with the GoPro adapter, a very solid combo Light: https://www.specialized.com/za/en/flux-900-headlight/p/156154?color=228739-156154&searchText=49118-1510 GoPro mount: https://www.specialized.com/za/en/flux-900-1200-camera-style-mount/p/170438?color=261680-170438&searchText=49119-9225
  12. What Gerhard said, adjust "trainer difficulty" to be less difficult or even off, should work properly with an MTB https://zwift.com/eu/video/how-to-cycling/adjust-smart-trainer-difficulty . https://zwiftinsider.com/using-the-trainer-difficulty-setting-in-zwift/ (edit/add)
  13. Fenix 5 Sapphire @ R6999 https://www.takealot.com/garmin-fenix-5-sapphire-sports-watch-black-with-black-band/PLID46911738
  14. Hi guys, I needs to sell these 3 watches. Any of you that can advise a fair second-hand price for me? Much appreciated
  15. I like to replace my 1X MTB chain each 1,500 km. After 3000km my Eagle shows much less wear than 11 speed previously. On the 3,000km / 3rd chain on 11 speed I had to replace the chainring, which was not necessary on Eagle.
  16. Yes seems like just more than a 100, looking at this: https://www.strava.com/activities/699715737

  18. X01 is lighter than XX1 by a few grams. A lot of guys run it like that on the XCO circuit and many bikes actually come out like that.
  19. Because of the Stellenbosch Cycle Tour on Sunday, everything is held on one weekend, making it one trip for those from far.
  20. That is an old pic that was posted. I also have it that the climbs to saaltjie is open "afterhours", on weekends the bottom gate is always open. I can't comment about the singletracks from the top.
  21. They sent me this: Hi Janno Thank you for your query. Please contact our customer services department on 0861 486 100 ext 2 and they will be able to assist you with a replacement frame Many thanks
  22. Here is some watches I've meant to post. I want to refurbish the Rotary as a next project.
  23. For local trails, the Strava heatmap is a good place to start looking: http://labs.strava.com/heatmap/
