  1. Ok so ita not just me. It seems to be the sentral piece of reinforcement fabfic running the lenth of the pack?
  2. Anybody using a CIOVITA Tinta with an USWE? It seems my USWE is not liking my shirt very much. The central rib on the pack is ruining the material between my shoulder blades aswell as the straps going over my shoulders. There was hundreds of Tinta USWE combos on the epic, so i am keen to hear your thoughts. Im on my 2nd ruined shirt now. Photos to follow
  3. My LBS just did a invoice type document with detailed parts and additions to the bikes with a price.
  4. Most probably why he pulled out with a concussion. He tried to keep up with her and ran out of talent on singletrack I presume. I also recall her riding the same times as the leading woman on days, and that was starting in normal batches due to her being a solo rider. So she was just on another level last year.
  5. If it is on an XD driver it could be that the threads between the freebody and casette is just dry IMO
  6. Bought a Stages crank. Worked for half a ride. Seller told me to give it in to Omnico to check it out. Omnico told me it was water damage, and offered me a replacement at cost. Seller then told me its still a good deal when taken into consideration the money I paid him and the money I paid Omnico is still cheaper than a new one. What should have been a R3000 bargain turned into a R10 000 "bargain".
  7. Perhaps a phenom white for R700??
  8. Recently had this with saddles. Shop had stock of said item but had to order in exactly the same saddle from HQ at the sale/online price.. A bit odd in my opinion
  9. Its so common these days. when doing a big of digging you can find the same titan frame AND Swift's Evil twin frame in south america under different brands. its a case of SELFDE PUDDING ANDER SOUS iff you ask me. Evil Twin Copy is a Sense Invictus https://www.behance.net/gallery/66932029/Sense-Bike-Carbon-Models-2017
  10. Both Sigeyi and XCADEY looks as iff they came out of the same factory
  11. Love my XCADEY. would never again use stages as I had to have a unit replaced with water damage and Omnico told me the units do "sweat".... WTF
  12. The pricing makes buying almost cheaper. for R6000 you are stepping into kickr snap and magnus M2 range
  13. Olbas oil is also used to open up the airways
  14. Training rides just got a whole lot more expensive!!! im on the heavy side (108kg) so very much traying for the calorie deficit but its a fine line then between calorie deficit and bonking. Most weekday rides are on the IDT after a day on the farm.
  15. So feeding for that would be 2x bottles at 700kJ ea with a bar and a gel for instance?
  16. Ok so as far as my knowledge goes as soon as you use a PM you ger your expenditure more accurately because its derived from HR. my question is in the picture below. do i still need to x4 that number to EAT/Drink for or is that = kJ??
  17. Been cycling for numerous years so not new to the energy expenditure on my garmin. After a race last week someone told me i should take the calorie count on my garmin and x4 it for kJ (because drinks bars and gels have kJ listed on them) I was under the assumption that our devices display a reading in Calories but that figure translates directly into kJ?? The question is thus do i change my garmin to kJ (530 has the option) but what about the garmin app, strava etc? i just want workalbe data without having to convert in my head the whole time
  18. Just measure your hand width when holding onto the handlebar. you cut your grip at that length and shifter sits inwards of that. so in order to shift you just move your hand onto the shifter. never hand an accidental shift in my life. also Extra chunky grips are identical in thickness as the shifter so no need to use the grips provided with the shifter. Will post a picture of mine when I get home.
  19. Love mine. the ability to shift almost the whole cassette range when a hill suddenly appears around a corner is very helpful. and with the new twistlock that works like gripshift but for lockout you cant get a cleaner cockpit.
  20. Hi Use to have a Powertap Joule where the backlight would come on by itself based on a sunset/sunrise time determined by gps. Recently bought an edge 530. I see the device has a daytime/nightime mode where the background would be light in daytime and black in nightime. My question is: does the edge have a function where the backlight would come on whenever it changes to night mode?. Auto brightness only adjusts the brightness when a button is pressed before it goes of at the set time.
  21. yes. gradual climb. dont know the ondition of the road but iff you get a nice line you can "gooi". also get the wrong line and you might get a puncture. id suggest iff you are in a bunch try and move up when you pass penhill and you need to be in position when you go past leipzig cellar. 100m after that the dirt road starts
  22. still there yes
  23. @Cheabb78 oh dear. the whole reason i got it was because of power on the road and the smart trainer. just made more sense to have the same set of data then for the mtb aswell
  24. oh FFS.. Just bought a 130 plus for the missus and a 530 for myself. Then again i'm on my 3rd fenix and my brother also on his 3rd. funny how they kept failing just out of warranty and then we had to pay "half" for a new one. eventually told the guy its BS iff they expect me to almost yearly pay half of a new unit. on the other hand... Leatherman used to replace your unit iff you sent it in for a service. now you have to pay R150 just to get a blade sharpened. something to do with a business model that they cant sustain anymore and that we as saffas got to be knows as abusers of our leathermans..... BLAH BLAH BLAH
