  1. I concur - it had to be !
  2. Couple of years ago there was one for sale in the classifieds - went and test rode it - Other than a naaaice collectors piece and alas ! too small for me, I was surprised how heavy this bike was, must be one of the heaviest COLNAGO's i've ridden
  3. Very sleek looking design - but just a tad away from my paygrade - mmm maybe 3 tads
  4. keep us updated on this thread would love to see the new design
  5. Researching different opinions on these rocker Plate designs i'm liking the swing board better and better. Simulating the rocking motion as close as possible to out on the road, the swing board does this better than a rocker plate or at least will have a more realistic feel. Have you ever thought about incorporating fore/aft movement ? Was thinking of mounting the swing board on a linear moving board instead of the floor.
  6. BTW - for those looking for drawings - If you got to the above FB page and navigate to the files section there are a few proper design drawings and parts lists for various designs that members have shared
  7. RS are very expensive pricey - i been looking at DIY Electronics which have the same bearings but not in 20mm biggest they have on their website are 12mm - Ill give them a call on Monday
  8. Their product looks well made and a reasonable price - But i want fore/aft movement as well.
  9. Lots of info on here https://www.facebook.com/groups/415329188897706/?tn-str=*F&fref=gs&dti=415329188897706&hc_location=group_dialog There is a post by Joe Ackerman - has a simple design and very functional
  10. I thought i'd start a Rocker Plate topic I follow the Rocker Plate page on BookFace - Lots of guys making their own and some good designs. I think its a cool DIY project to build my own. taking one of the members design i need to locally source the following parts - all available on Amazon but want to source locally. Anyone in the engineering retail trade know where i can get them locally ?
  11. It still reloads as the source being TR But i modified the fit file to change the device shhhhhhhhhh! will see if that works
  12. thanks - I thought that would be the problem. When i go into Garmin connect into the activity it indicates the source as 3rd party TR or Zwift app. I think my only quick and easy solution will be to run my Garmin in parallel while wearing both the Ant+ & BT HRM
  13. Hope this is OK for this forum - I need help with sending data to disco vitality from IDT sessions My setup Kickr Core & HRM -> BT connection to Iphone 6 -> running TR & Zwift - everything connects and is working fine Both TR & Zwift apps upload activities to Strava & Garmin Connect - No problems works perfect. Previously i ran my Garmin 520 on the IDT which synced with Garmin connect and from there my data synced with Disco Vitality for points The new setup i dont use my Garmin 520 on the IDT, mainly because i'm using a BT HRM and the Garmin is Ant+ So with my new setup - How do i get my data to sync with Disco Vitality - I tried syncing my Iphone health app to Garmin connect so the data would load from TR or Zwift -> Garmin connect -> Iphone health app (HR data) -> disco vitality - Eisch ! but she is not working. Any solutions would be appreciated thanx
  14. I've ridden there from the beginning when they still used the top gate as the entrance - done it both clockwise and anti clockwise, If i had to choose i suppose anti clockwise, but I think changing direction of the trails once or twice a year makes it a bit more interesting - too much of the same thing can make it boring if you ride their often enough. I've often made the suggestion that they should cut a trail between the 1st gate and the payment gate - when we used to start at 33 high street it was a lekka much longer trail - now if you start at the same place then almost 1/3 is on tar. It would be nice to get Wed night rides on again - start and end at 33 High street without the tar
  15. As a COLNAGO Purist - This would be my 2nd choice - TREK all the way
  16. Trails are lekka - Like Dexter said not too technical - but there is a XC course and you get enough technical riding on what they have to offer - I've done up to 55km in the trail park with probably 5 - 600 m climbing.
  17. Without trying to dredge up an old flame war that i'm still trying to recover from - Not ! I see TAROKO have now decided to accept old multi entry cards as from today 15th June until Monday 31st Aug. On behalf of all those who are sitting with old cards, I'd like to thank you - Nice gesture which i'm sure will get more happier riders on your trails. To all you who burned me down like a demented self centered witch i retract the last comment on my original post.
  18. Thanks for the feedback and explanation - interesting ! - I will be checking my GX setup for this
  19. I tried to connect windows 10 to ZWIFT via BT for hours - It seems to pick up the trainer but doesn't connect - I read somehwere on google you need to ansure your BT drivers are up to date which i did - still wouldn't connect so i gave up a few weeks later i opened the swift app on Laptop and it wanted to update so i updated it and boom ! it connected no problems. I do however agree - Ant+ dongle is the way to go less hassle and it just works
  20. +1 for TrainerRoad - No fuss no BS - just pure focused training.
  21. Oh I do apologize if i offended you Pygaschmuck - But like i said b4 please refer to my Avatar for a formal apology
  22. Oh really - so now i'm small minded - Its not just my R 200 or sum such, its the hundreds of other cards that are out there not being honored which make up thousands, that i'm considering. the same thing happened with Rietvlei - the new guys however made arrangements, I have no problem with the new guys, but it would have been nice and and act of customer retention to reach out to the old guard and make some arrangements - But that's my opinion which i'm entitled to As to your "Pillock" comment - Please refer to my Avatar for a more definitive response.
  23. But its okay for loyal customers to be punished ....go figure.
  24. Ye great to hear its open - But there be a lot of pissed off people sitting with Multi Entry cards that TAROKO refuse to honor - I don't really care about, who said, she said, he said, But somewhere there is a lot of money sitting in someones pockets that doesn't belong to them. In my opinion TAROKO should have taken care of this liability as part of there responsibilities taking over the management of the trails. Maybe legally they didn't need to, but it would have been the right thing to do as they need the support of all past riders to make this park a success again. I for one will take my money and ride elsewhere - fortunately we have choices.
  25. The only thing that makes this product popular & successful even with all its failures is the support from the local distributors. They deserve a lot of credit from both the manufacturers as well as Wahoo owners. Well done whoever they are
