Has anyone found a simple (plug and play) cheap UPS solution for a Wahoo setup @ 12v 5A (60w) to keep thing going with Eskom doing the rounds?

Contacted Garmin a minute ago, they mentioned that they do not do any screen repairs to their watch range in SA, they do however offer a discount for the replacement of the same unit, replacement costs sat at R2500 for this specific model. It is also subject to their review of the unit and it begin book in, will update the tread after the process of being reviewed by the tech team etc. . Update - worked out well, watch was replaced at R2703.00

During our December holidays my wife brushed up on a face brick wall whilst passing me in a hallway. Her watched lightly scraped the brick, unfortunate at the perfect angle to crack the screen/glass. I must add we were both shocked with how little pressure it took the do the damage, a screen protector could possibly have solved this issue. Given the poor reviews from Garmin's technical repairs on the Hub and elsewhere on the web, does anyone else know of a reputable repair Centre/person in the Gauteng area?

Hi Hub, The fam and I enjoy our trips off the beaten track. My MTB used to travel in the back of the bakkie and with the correct number of straps and padding the 4x4 tracks caused little problems. Enter our little baby and the space in the back of the bakkie is now occupied with various child related amenities. The trailer has a roof top tent and the bakkie roof is to high. My question: Can anyone recommend a product/solution for traveling with 1/2 MTB's over rough terrain given the above.

I ran into a shop the other day to have a look at this, the Scott Scale 940 is excessively heavy... I'n not a someone that will buy a carbon seat clamp to save 1g, but this bike still felt very heavy... think the dropper adds quite a bit.... or maybe to much sealant...

Hi Lukes, Where was this picture taken?

A while ago we were doing the single track below the bridges when we (5 of us) were approached by a male about 40 years old, he had no shirt or shoes and said that he had just been robbed at knife-point by two b-males. He was apparently robbed of his bike and cellphone as well as his shoes as i suspect that would take him longer to get help. We reported it to the reserve rangers and they communicated it over the radios. I have no idea of what happened thereafter. I stay clear of the single track and now only ride the conservancy part of the reserve. He was cycling alone... probably made him a easy target.

Hi Jaco, I'm glad you are OK. Thank you for sharing your indecent, i hope this find the eyes of many cyclists. May I ask you to please post a google image of the precise location of the attack. I wish you a speedy recovery!

Can any Pyga owners please give me an indication of what fair price is for a Pyga 110 frame set?

What happened to my childhood days when my role model lineup of heroes were Superman, Batman, Police-man, Spiderman and a few others. What happened to that incredible safe feeling when you saw a police officer with those proud yellow stars on his shoulders. When was the last time you heard them shout and make tactical moves to stop someone before something bad happened. Police men and women were my heroes growing up, I begged my parents to swing by if I saw a blue light because I knew that when the blue lights are there things would be safe. Heroes help!!!, where and how they can. They don't look/wait for excuses, paperwork, political pressure, compensation or rewards for what they accomplish. They keep their chins up and their egos down. I'm sorry to say, but my Hero-feeling about the police has disappeared all to quickly.

We need to find out who takes up these stolen bikes, bikes with components like these will obviously achieve a higher price on the black market and hence these criminals target cyclists. Is there any way thehub can arrange for a serial number type inset to the classifieds section like being done on bikebay.co.za. Unfortunately these bikes are probably stripped and that a serial number on a frame will only go so far. Let us use thehub for more proactive cycling, grouprides and firearm license procedures in the meanwhile.

Please leave me some info.

is there any chance that you would still hvve stock?

Hi Hubbers, Anyone seen, try or own one of these? Please give me your opinions.

Thanks for the reply, just out of curiosity, where did your frame crack? do you have any photo's of the damage? and how was the after sales service from them? sorry for the bombardment of questions but i might invest in one and i need to get my ducks in a row before i spend any money...
