  1. Looks like Jones Bars. They work for my wrists like no other bar has. Put them on a Redshift stem so the comfort is there if you want/need it.
  2. As long as they work I say. Colour is irrelevant and fashion is out of fashion. Ride the bike is the best answer I think.
  3. I have been running a Son Hub for many years now working through a Cyclec local controller and the Led front light. Although not really bright enough to dodge potholes at speed, it is certainly bright enough for all other uses, including charging phone and batteries. The only time I feel the resistance is if I spin the wheel by hand so it is negatable for me Absolute game changer. Use the USB to recharge and the batteries are always full. with the charger and new fitted batteries I am able to run through the night on bright power.
  4. On the Flare I used petrol on a small art brush on the visible joint and opened it gently. It just comes apart the same way to open a glued cell phone is opened. The whole inside workings are removable. I cut the wires and soldered a small sized battery (different capacity batteries are available) obtained from a toy supply shop, Gopro copter thingies use them. There is not much space inside the Flare, not like the Lysyne where a much bigger battery size wise can fit. The flexible end wire bit of the battery can be bent over to allow a smaller size. Soldered and used heatshrink. Glued it back together with epoxy. No pics of the process but very simple. Batteries are cheap next to a replacement Flare!
  5. I have just replaced my Flare RT rechargeable battery with a much bigger capacity battery. The one supplied is only 420mAh. I use this Bluetooth connected light Flare and it now lasts for weeks on auto. Cost ..... R80. Lezyn front light also has a small capacity battery and this was replaced at the same time. Definitely worth it. Thought I would just put it out there as most light batteries are replaceable.
  6. Done 30 000kms on my Truck Run (conversion on a gravel bike) with no problems. 500W motor is enough for me with loaded panniers etc. Conversion cost me R20 000 (including local battery). Good enough for me and I would not go fancy.
  7. Seen this kindness by Arno. Support if you can......guys are lucky to ride the Karoo.👌
  8. All the best Dale. .......of all the people🥵
  9. Trying the Air Liner out. So far they have been excellent.
  10. Problem is, Fitbit does not work with Huawei phones🥵
  11. Thanks. Have tried this but am unable to open the Fitbit app on numerous laptops for Android or iPhone.
  12. I have recently acquired Fitbit Charge 4 and have no idea how to work it. Tried downloading and App but does not work. Where can I get a manual? With thanks.
  13. This does not look biodegradable and Woolies love packaging that is mostly not biodegradable, no matter what they say. ALL cycling on bike drinks should be biodegradable so as to avoid the mess cyclist make during a race. Runners too.
  14. Done it with RC model yacht batteries. Worked every time. As dasilvarsa says, don't pop the battery!!!
