one more thing that I can add, I think the first half is quite easy, then the climb and corrugation starts.(my opinion)

You should be able to drill it out, Grub screws of that size is normally Gr10.9 and can be drilled with some hassle, you can sharpen a Concrete drill-bit to have a proper cutting edge or heat up the grub screw with an Oxy/acetelene-torch

My advice would be to drill a small hole from the other side and knock it out, but if it was a screw that was cut off, you would need to heat it up, to red hot, drill a hole for an easy out.

The water points are well stocked with PVM bars, Pan cakes, and boiled potatoes, especially the halfway point.

I am not sure if I have had the best of luck with the Garmin edges, I have had a Edge 500, then a 810, then 520, now on a 530(Not going to mention the watches), none of them broke or gave up the ghost, I ended up selling them and then upgrading with NO hassles at all - Garmin Fan boy

Just go and buy one (N+1) if you don't like it afterwards, just sell it here on bike hub

I am so used to the buttons by now, I can not think of using anything else. I am also keen to wait for the Edge 540, will hand the 530 to the wife.

I had Di2 10 speed that was discontinued and insurance wrote-off the bike.

If its the ring that the freehub engages on? I had one similar made by one of my suppliers, mine was for a Kickr trainer.

There has been quite a few updates, try again, you might be surprised. not sure how long ago you had issues.

I am using it with a Windows 11 pc, I will try and do a calendar workout on TP next week.

I will continue to download their updates and try the application for the saving of R300 per month, recently the ANT+ support started working so now the controllable function ERG, is now much beter.

The normal price on that bike is around R52k but solomons cycles have specials on Merida Bikes at killer prices.

Mine is with outsurance with my sort term insurance, my road bike is MUCH more than my mountain bikes, around the same value.

Cycle lab has a decent special on the Titan bike with carbon wheels and SRAM force group-set for R42 000,

There is a place in JHB ta=hat repacks batteries if you have the old set.

I have a Top fuel 7 and weighs around 15.5, my previous scott Genius was 14kg with pedals but the Trek feels better in the rough stuff.

One of my mates are doing something similar, privately organized as far as I know.

You can always send someone over to my place with a Demo bike to use for a month or two..(Hint Hint)😎😎

Just thought I'd post this, I am very tempted. R43k for an Carbon bike with Carbon wheelset. https://www.cyclelab.com/product/1017697-bike-road-carb-titan-valerian-elite-my23

No, I am on windows 11 PC(Laptop) and it works, the updates are quite big +/- 10gig, they are making good progress every month. Small review here - If you are looking for a Zwift replacement, they are not there yet, they have 1Mill USD price purse for their championship later this year.

I "auto" renewed yesterday and my family subscription is still active. I forgot about the Auto renewal, I am now using mywhoosh, that is completely free. EDIT: I now see that if you had an "old" subscription the Family sharing is still active.

So it seems like it as hit and miss, how does it compare to Sigey power meters? does anyone have any experience?

It still took a month to reach me and I had to pay cash to the driver for the clearing.
