  2. Go check out the CycleOps Magnus with 142mm thru axle kit that will do the job.
  3. sorry for this, if you have any more details i will forward this onto the developers to sort out.
  4. this is a known problem on iPad, we are really trying hard to fix it but please be patient with us it is going to take some time, we are really sorry for this as it is only a SA problem.
  5. you can still take part in the race your tablet will just run off google and not video. we are trying to work on a faster download speed but this may take a little bit of time but we are working on it.
  6. yes it will be possible but just wont be the cheapest option as we would need to sell you a new RU, the entire resistance unit. and to be perfectly honest with you i don't see BLE being the standard for at least 18 months if not longer, ANT+ is still the main frequency in cycling today its only now that the tablet manufactures have preferred to go BLE over ANT that is has made its way into this level of cycling equipment. i also know there is a company that can convert ANT+ to BLE however this is still rather costly over time these costs will come down. the biggest reason for CycleOps offering either a BLE or ANT+ option is that some of the "older" technology will only work on ANT+ however the newer tech will work on both ANT+ and BLE. take Samsung as an example they have now included ANT+ into their 2014 high end tablets and smart phones as well as BLE personal preference at the end of the day and buying which ever suites your technology right now. CycleOps will always have an upgrade path for their product.
  7. CycleOps have already thought of that, they have a Clutch Knob system here is some more info:
  8. thank you for the idea, i am sure we can get something together in this regards, we already have plenty of big plans coming in the next 12 months and if tonight goes well this may well from part of many.

  10. Have a chat with bicycle power as they have developed some adapters for the 142mm TA bikes. Pretty pricey but it is now an option.
  11. Unfortunitally not as the international distribution agreement bicycle power has with America only allows for 1 service station per country. We are trying for a second for our clients in CPT though, but for our clients who send wheels up to us in jhb we try for same day turn around depending on time of arrival.
  12. I might have something to help u out, the disc wheel covers.
  13. Current model is R150 new model is also expected to be around that mark view www.bicyclepower.co.za for details
  14. The CycleOps out front mount works with Bryton and they are in the process of launching a second "better" version but this is only expected end of June earliest.
  15. Never seen one on a MTB, of course they make them but their use in the MTB market is not the same as what it is on the road.
  16. I see they have pulled the MTB system from the international web page, for now at least, seems u might not be the only one have problems. The only system that has remained proven in the road and MTB side of things is the CycleOps PowerTap hubs, especially on the MTB the hub is generally one of the most protected areas of the bike. Sorry to hear your problems.
  17. visit www.cadencecycling.co.za they just above cyclelab
  18. so listening to everyone say rollers is a great option but there is no way of adding resistance, this will be a first http://www.cycleops.com/en/products/rollers.html?page=shop.browse&category_id=6 the same brand as the trainer pictured do rollers with resistance, working off magnets, they work pretty well. http://www.bicyclepower.co.za are sold out at the moment but expecting to get more stock during the first week of June.
  19. otherwise known as an A frame trainer, i like the one you pictured, CycleOps good brand they also do rollers. only training equipment to come with a life time warranty!!! the rollers make time go by a little easier and it a true road like feeling but takes a little skill to ride them, the trainers are great if you want to do an endurance workout while watching a movie etc and can let your mind drift and not fall off. both can give an equally challenging workout!!! rollers may be the cheaper option.
  20. a nice function of the Power Tap is that it will auto zero, every time you free wheel for longer than 30sec and there is no power recorded it will auto zero. I think this is the only PM to do so. A manual check of the calibration can also be done and anything between the values of 500-530 is considered acceptable. New values are 512. A manual zero can also be done as what is done with SRM
  21. You have the likes of the Garmin and Bryton etc and then not to mention the app's for smart phones like mentioned above. Something worth looking at is the new GPS unit from CycleOps as per the below like pricing is not too bad either, available June 2012. http://www.bicyclepower.co.za/Products/CycleOpsPowerTaps/tabid/112/ProductID/14/Default.aspx
