Link your Garmin connect account, you don't get the same points through Strava and if you go on the endurance athlete you score more.

I am not sure in what area you are in, but I have some clear PCV, I can give you a piece and you can layer it, I am on the east rand, Boksburg.

I see Bicycleline advertises it on their website but going for R1995, the cost of a small compressorRYD PUMP AIR TANK 2.0 – Bicycle Line

You mentioned that another bike was much easier getting up hills, have you checked all the bearings and brakes on the bike you battle with, I had a Silverback with quick release axle and the bearings was a bit loose and if you put the power down, the disc would bind, that cased the bike to feel "heavy" , after I fixed that the bike felt easier.(still riding that bike in a different se-tup)

why would you want to put Acera on, add some money and put something like Deore or SLX on it but I don't think it will be a problem to make the 3 x 9 Acera work on it.

The route back is always a mess with peak Sunday traffic and horrible crossings with "marshals"

Not from Kyalami pro cycles...

My Trek Top fuel came out with 170mm Cranks and it is a large, I cannot tell you if its better, but I think they have done some research before the launch, I am still fat and unfit on my heavy dual suspension.

Personally, I think there are benefits but that might be just my feel on the MTB, some youtube analysts would prove me wrong but I prefer the oval on my MTB.

I must be honest, I loved my Scott Genius I had, then, I thought, it's time for an upgrade, bought the latest trek and I am still missing my Scott.

Just go 1x it is much simpler, get a 11-52 cassette, it might not solve your problem but it works well.

Why not Buy it directly From Pro Auto Rubber? I am sure it is going to be cheaper, they are in Boksburg.

You can Change the device in Fitfile tools as well.

Well, here is my bit of embarrassing experience. I had to install a new bottom bracket om my Trek Top Fuel and ended up Cross threading the Drive side, when it became a bit difficult to screw in I thought it was the blue-thread lock that was on it, it was only as mission to remove, clean the threads properly and get it in 100% straight, after some choice words I managed to get both sides in properly.

I agree, I gave away almost a full bottle.

It feels like there is a race every morning around 4:40 am amongst our club riders, if you are in the east rand area.

My grandson, is shy of 2 years old, think it's a bit early.

So I decided to respray my bike during December, here is the Frankenbike, Silverback Sola frame, Handle bars from Rapide, non series shifters, frork from Keanbikes, rear deraler GRX with 11-46 casette, front 42 chainring on XT crank, I even got me a stages power meter on the cheap.

Maybe give Buycycle a call, they are the agents and might have some dead ones in their workshop

I just go for conti GP5000 and forget about it, although your wallet won't forget the hurt.

I might give this a go again.

Well, all the best with your recovery, it is not easy or quick, not a nice way to start the year.
