My wifes Garmin vivoactive4 died yesterday after a swim in the pool, the watch is 4years old. What is the chance that Garmin( as part of their repair policy) will offer a discount on the Vivoactive 5 for purchase or would they offer a discount on the same model ie VA4 ? Im looking for information from those who have been through this process with Garmin - I am wondering if its just worth buying her a new watch and skipping the hassle via garmin support.

Did a ride around springbok Northern cape - Weather was amazing and routes are fantastic

Im not sure about racing but I have my bike insured with Naked insurance - if you have not - perhaps try them ?

Hi Folks hope you are all great, I will be in the springbok area from the 22nd till the 30th of DEC and planning on doing some rides in the area, Im checking if there will be others close by that want to join and tackle some trails together. please DM me and we can arrange. thanks guys and gals

thanks for the response guys - I dont mind the scratch on the bike - just wanted to know if I need to worry about it and have it fixed. If not il put some Armour guard and continue as normal

Going to look for a wrap or get VPS on it

Morning everyone I guess this was bound to happen at some point- but my bike slipped and fell and the handlebars scratched the toptube. Looks like its gone through the clearcoat and paint but not through the carbon. I dont see any visible fibers but Looks like a tiny nick on the carbon ( almost like pressed rather than scratched ) Looking for some advise if this needs to be repaired or can I put some clear coat and just monitor it. thanks all

I think this is a different company https://thepracticesa.co.za/

Hi Guys Anyone have any experience using the Practice- Linden ( Tim or Alasdair) for a MTB bike fit ?

Boost with SLX hubs , thruAxel . I placed an ad but price is neg https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/mountain-bike-wheels/610286/merida-expert-cc-rims-and-rotors

Hi Guys I couldn't find a thread as such after searching , so I decided to create new one on fair price value of items we looking to sell. I have a set of Merida expert CC rims with SLX hubs and rotors( 180 and 160mm) - brand new not 1km on it Not sure what is a fair market price ? Mods - if this thread is not allowed - please delete it

Hey guys so quick update - Cycle lab has put me into a medium and it feels better ( more nimble )- now I just need to get a proper bike fit done. What are your guys thoughts on 100mm suspension in terms of riding our general trails( hennops,vangaalens) and perhaps rides like Sani2C or Karoo2coast etc.

Thanks Guys. They used a RAD tool and I think that pushed out the LRG recommendation. Merida uses a smart-fit widget and using my inseam and arm length etc - it suggests a MED.

So Cyclelab put me into a large as I said im looking to be more comfortable on the bike. However I rode it and it feels ok.but I need to get a bike fit done though. but was just overthinking and wondering if a large will be ok based on my height. Im 172-173 and Merida recommends a Medium - Should I try to get it swapped for a medium or stick with the Large - thanks for the advice in advance guys

Hey Guys So I pulled the trigger on the Merida 96XT and slapped on some carbon rims as well - Im super happy and it does feel great now that it has been setup Thank you all for the advice and the support whilst I was so indecisive
