Well done. Sum time 'urban' MTBing is harder then trail MTBing.

Ek is bly jy kan. Leer dit nou net skryf. But yes you where right it was not great. I will check it next time. As i said ... i am sorry.

I am hearing a lot of good things about MOBII. There are guys in my club that have them and they are very happy. One had sum hiccups but as you said the guys gave him a new one no questions asked.

Ek verstaan 100% wat jy bedoel. Ek het hom op die handle bars gesit. Ek het weer vandag op koeberg gaan ry en hy het half pad nie meer die spoed op getel nie. Alles was nog waar dit was. Moes hom stop en weer laat begin. Toe werk hy weer. Maar soos baie van nie ouense se ek sal hom maar net moet in stuur. Die nommers fade meer en meer hoe warmer dit raak in die kaap. But thanks for the tips.

Dis die plan. Almal wat ek ken wat Garmin het is happy. ANT werk ook op mac. So dit kan net beter gaan.

Ek het emails van SA kantoor en FI kantoor. Maar sal plan maak om hom in te stuur. Waar oor ek aan gaan is dat alles my probleeme gee van dat ek hom het. Maar dankie vir jou hulp.

Glo my ek weet van die band nat maak en alles. Ek het hom mooi gewas. In n kous gesit en alles. Maar elke liewe ding gee probleem. Jy is die eertse ou wat ek "ken"wat happy is my sy CS300. Toe ek in die winkel was het hulle een oop gemaak daar en hy het ook nie gewerk nie. My vriend het gedog ek sit aan en toe wou hy ook een gaan koop. Toe vir hulle gese "okay ek wil hom hier toets" toe haal hulle hom ook uit en soos ons sit hulle n paar fake rides op hom en probeer hom laai op hulle notebook wat in die winkel was en my buddys sin en hy het nie gewerk nie. Ek is jammer maar dit se vir my die CS is nie goed nie. Maar regtig bly jou een werk. Jy is lucky. Ek dink as my een gewerk het sou hy wonderlik gewees het. Hy het al die basiese goed wat jy nodig het.

Thanks DJR. I have done all the things you mentioned. I phoned IHF Products 3 or 4 times. After 15min or so i hung up the phone. But i will give them a call again. Thanks for your help.

So hy werk 100%? as jy data op sit en alles?

soos ek se ek is jammer. sal net in afrikaans skryf.

as jy nie alles gelees het nie moet dan nie jou groot bek oop maak nie as jy wil persoonlik raak soos die opmerking oor die "northern importer" moet dan nie verwag mense gaan vriendelik opmerkings trug skryf nie.

I am sorry. I will from now on only write in afrikaans. Did not know We are being graded on how we wright. Maar hoop ek kon mense help dat hulle nie ook die selfde fout maak as ek nie. Want dit is wat ek wou oor dra en nie hoe goed ek in engels skryf of spel nie.

Did you read the PS part? dick!

Hello guys and girls If sum of you want to buy the Polar CS300 hart rate monitor for you bike ......DONT!! I have had bad luck with technology like we all do. A cell phone that breaks after a mount or a hard drive that just stops working. But with the CS300 i have had just problems. Every single ride i have done sins i have had the watch sum thing has not worked. Every time i go for a ride on my mountain bike its like i have to do a pre dive check. 90% of the time i have to move sum thing to get it working.Sum time in the ride its stops working as well..... and before you say... "it must have moved"... no its not the case1 Its in the same place it was when i stared. If i stop and start a new exercise it works again. I have had it for 8 mounts now and i have to replace 2 batteries on the HR sensor and replace the strap it self because it stop working as well. The magnets they give you with the speed sensor and the cadence sensor dos not work! You have to get a bigger one sum where else and when if you get one its the size of a speaker magnet and it has to be so closes too the sensor a piece of paper must not fit in-between them or else it dos not work. Sum times when its hot and i have bin riding a long time the numbers on the face of the watch fade. THEN there is the after sale services. The people who sell the polar's too you know less then you. I could not take it back because i was away on business a lot and there was no retail shops near me that could swap or give me my money back so i used it so it got scratches on it cos i ride a MTB so now i am stuck with it. Finding a strap took me half a day because 3 shops did not have straps in stock at all and the other did not have XL. The magnets dos not get sold on its own they want you to buy the sensor to get a magnet and i am sorry that is not on. Don't tell me they did not know people will lose there magnets as they ride so that was a deliberate decision by sum one at polar to make even more money of us. LAST BUT NOT LEAST there is the very very very faulty upload software. FIRST you need to know is.. IF YOU DO HAVE A MAC IT DOS NOT WORK ON MAC OS!!! The people how sell you this don't know cos i asked and i was told "yes no problem" that was NOT true as you go on the website just before you are about to click "download software" there stands in small red letters "not supported for Mac".... not on the box or Manuel only when you go on the website. I send them a email and ask why not?! Its not like mac is a small brand these days. The head office send me sorry they do not make software for mac i must run Windows OS to upload my data. MY eye twits and i had a nerves tick for a couple of seconds. Then i said okay let me go to my friends that have a windows based OS....Gauss what.... it did not work on one of the 3 notebooks i tried it on.(vista and 7) Did all the stuff they said i must do even there interface sound meter shows that it can hear the watch making a sound but it dos not want to upload the data!! They guys at the sportsmanswarehouse(how is the main retailer of polar SA) could not get it to work and if you are Discovery member like i am you don't get the work out points cos you cant upload the data and they wont take the work out if you do it manually. So save you self money... time... and frustration and don't buy a polar!!!!!! I will never again!!!! PS..... JUST HAD A CHAT WITH MY FRIEND.His brother spend R10 000 on polar GPS bike mounted units for him and his wife and they are not uploading on there windows based notebooks as well. So even the Hi-end polar's are not working.

yes there are sum turns that have sand in them.

SOOOOOO...... My rim and spokes answer my question form me. Looks like even before i posted this question 2 of my spokes got damage from riding at Majic forest(i think it was there be cos it was the only technical riding i did the last 2 weeks) with low bar's. Be cos yesterday as i was riding at Koeberg i saw my wheel started buckling. One spoke came out and was bent and the one next to him just came out.(at the bearing not at the rims side) I did Koeberg at 2.3bar. Still looked 2 flat for my weight. So will be going for 2.5bar. So guys if you see n rookie like me that is about my weight running tubeless.... Tell him about 2.5bar MIN. Thanks for all the help.

It was a shop here in the cape. don't want 2 name names. Think he may have been one of the young guys that helps out now and then.

Thanks guys. Going to do koeburg tomorrow. Will run it at 2.2bar. Will see how it dos in the sand and grips on the loses rock.

Hello Guys I went tubeless about 2 mounts a go. Is there a scale of sum sort where you can see how meany bar's your tyres need 2 be according 2 your weight? I am heavy... 111kg's. The one guy at the shop i did my conversion said tubeless should not go over 2bar's but another guy at another bike shop said i must run my back tyre at a min of 2bar's cos of my weight. What bar's must my tyres be at? front 1.8bars and back 2bar's? And what is the min and max for tubeless? bike: hard tail 26 tyres: Xkings continental trails: WC.. lots of sand and small rocks.

Thanks!
