  1. Back to your original question - It is crazy !! I have to do 1 hr at 70+ ave HR and get 300 pts and then people go walk a park run or just arrive have a coffee and then go home and they get the same. the Park Run should have at least a HR or a distance rule attached for tha amount of points it gives. I have a theory that there is a deal between Disco & Park Run to get as many people as possible doing Park Runs - Go to any Park Run on a Sat - it looks like Pick n pay on Payday
  2. Its not that hard to get 1200 pts per week. I have 3 IDT sessions planned each week Mon - Fri 2 X 1 hr 1 X 1.5 hr so on the 1 hr session i wear my HR strap 15 min before the session starts while warming up and then 15 min after the session while cooling down. My HR ave always stays at above 70 % for the 1.5 hr duration = 450 pts X 2 sesions = 900 pts I do the same for the 1.5 hr session and get a 2 hr ave HR above 70% = 600 pts So in total = 1500 pts Sat & Sun rides are always over 2 hrs so 1200 pts over the weekend and 2700 pts for the week
  3. 300 pts for 6 hr + event !!! - Then you obviously not registered with Disco as High performance Athlete. With HP status you would get 600 pts for over 2 hrs and HR ave above 70% i think. On the other hand your weekly target will also go up to 1200 max, where on the normal level its 600.
  4. Does the Fitbit Charge 2 work when doing a cardio workout to record ave HR for vitality. wife tried a 45 min session on IDT and can see the HR on Fitbit app, but cant see the ave for the 45 min, also no record or points award on Disco - It is all connected and synced on Vitality. What are we doing wrong ?
  5. I also refuse to spend 1000's on a smart trainer - Here is my setup Old Steel TREK road bike Dumb trainer = TACX FLOW Garmin Spd/Cad sensor Gen2 Ipad mounted on TACX Ipad handlebar mount ANT+ 30pin dongle Garmin HR strap. Trainer Road annual subscription = 99 USD per year Spotify app - free version. have selected 4 hrs of training music in the library I train using virtual power. I use the TR desktop app to view / monitor progress as well as Stravistix Perfromance Managent Chart Cheap and effective - I cannot see how a 20K trainer will change or improve my training and performance any better than what i currently use
  6. Thats where MooToo decided to do a full destruction test on his fancy wheels they used to import. Kind of put a new meaning to the word Pretzel !!
  7. Mine as well for the last 5 years. i got so much money tied up in my MSA it starting to look like my pension fund.
  8. Mine is a 21" - this is why i'm reluctant to order online, if it doesn't fit you stuck with it.
  9. I also have a superfly XL, was thinking of ordering the dual bottle cage, but worried it wont fit - what size is your frame ?
  10. The reversed route was the original route back when we still paid for entry at the club parking and then rode to the top gate, after which you made an immediate left onto the trails. then they moved the entry ticket payment to 33 High street parking. Once they moved the start to where it is now they reversed the route.
  11. Not sure if this has already been posted - But i'll just leave it here https://reviews.mtbr.com/video-who-e-bikes-are-for?fbclid=IwAR3hmAoyoGKcaHyN9izQgx5hatbL1aB-O3DnVb_kcevqM4MBJs5b4GVicko
  12. Is that the color or has the clear coat kind of faded
  13. Sorry to hear and i hope you make a full recovery - I suppose in todays world this fear sits in the back of everyones mind - lead a healthy lifestyle and Bang! the big C rears its head. If I may ask you to share - what are the symptoms of this type of C - maybe it would help convince others to get tested
  14. Yes of course. You cannot sugar coat it. You exclude people on the color of their skin its racism pure and simple. no matter what the color is. Exclude the rich .....make it easier for the poor to get a leg up...now we talking, i'll open an account tomorrow, i'll support any company that's trying to make a difference to the poor across the board even though they exclude me. Same as government pensions - If you earn a private pension or income over a certain amount you don't qualify for state pension. Its not a color thing.
  15. Still doesn't change the fact that its racist. Something that we don't need in this country right now. Support or not support i suppose is everyone right, I for one wont support a racist company because i'm not a racist, anyone that does is a racist in my eyes. Or maybe its white guilt, or maybe its just another White monopoly capitalist company honing on the growing black rand. Who Knows ? If i was a black dude, poor or rich, i'd be insulted. The biggest mistake the capitalist world has made in Africa is creating these schemes of aid and assistance in the name of closing the poverty gap. They've turned the continent into a continent of "Entitlement" its gone from expecting it for free to demanding it for free. This is just another one of those schemes - But it will fail just like every other BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBEEEEEEEEEEEEE scheme has failed to uplift the poor black people and succeeded in making the few rich black dudes even richer.
  16. Its actually simple ! Its racist pure and simple, if it was for white, colored or Indian people only it would still be racist. If you or the Disco executive cannot see that, then you need to go back to school instead of trying to sugar coat this thing as addressing wealth disparity. Individual wealth is not a color thing it affects all races. Why not offer this type of scheme to poor people irrespective of race. Now when a white person responds by canceling their business dealings with Disco, you call them short sighted !! really ? None of your clients may have cancelled their policies with you yet because this thing is still in its infant stages, well hold the phone - this ball is only starting to roll. I asked to see my financial adviser who normally can see me within a day or 2, now i have to wait 2 weeks, cause he too busy trying to convince his white clients not to cancel their policies. What would you and Disco say if i started a med scheme or a bank for whites only.
  17. Very observant of you - the Nago build obviously bored you a bit - My dad drove a olive green Constantia
  18. We used to park at Van Gaalens = 100km ride
  19. As a SRAM purist (On MTB) i went from XO 2 X 10 to GX Eagle 1 X 12, not gonna slate Shitmano because i don't use it and i'm not a fisherman. There does however seem to be some shifting issues with the GX 12 speed cassette when i read these and other forums like MTBR etc. I never experienced these problems and mine changes like a swiss watch. But i spent many hours dialing in the setup to make sure it was perfect. Maybe there are some cassettes with a manufacturing problem and if you have issues, its time to remove the cassette and check it out. My vote is SRAM GX Eagle all the way
  20. Thats a COLNAGO Mix - Alu frame with oversize chainstays and carbon B-Stay Seat-Stays
  21. Yep, I'm afraid Modders is not what it was. Living in Edenvale it was my favorite place to ride. Now i travel out back to my 2nd most favorite (now my 1st) Northern Farms. It seems the organizers at modders have simply lost interest and now the reserve doesn't care but gladly take your entrance fee.
  22. At least its not Shitmano
  23. The exact same model and color on my shopping list.
