  1. Trainers generally adjust to fit road and MTB. (should be able confirm online) May require optional thru axle adaptor if applicable. Also, a trainer specific tyre would be recommended.
  2. I have a floor pump with tubeless tank. Sometimes I get lucky, other times I'm using one of these too. 🙈 PS: road tubeless.
  3. Suspect most comments and successes relate to MTB tyres. From some of your other posts I'm thinking you're on road tubeless.? Same, but different ... LOL
  4. Anybody else in CTN (southern suburbs) having dstv reception issues.? Some channels without signal ... "may be due to bad weather". 🤷‍♂️
  5. Ladies race on the go ...
  6. Terrible first ride experience for both of you. Hoping he recovers quickly and that this doesn't turn him off cycling.
  7. Happy to report that they under promised and over delivered.! HRM is back - no need to guess how much I'm suffering on the IDT. 🤣
  8. This has been my go to but the Garmin is an older Ant+ only transponder. Needing a ble unit for indoor I went with the H9 hoping for similar hassle free strap performance.
  9. While I wasn't expecting 24hrs, 2 weeks seems excessive. Anyway, it is what it is. I'd have no issues trying a cheaper alternative if the Polar wasn't under guarantee ... in fact, I have one if they'd just let me keep the transponder while they have the strap checked. ☹
  10. Noted. But I tested the transponder on a different strap and it worked perfectly. So seems safe to say that the strap is faulty.
  11. So I ended up getting an H9 based on some of the feedback here as well as having voucher at a large wharehouse sports outlet where the options were Polar, Garmin and Wahoo. 3 months and the chest strap is dead. Easy enough to swap I thought. 🤔 No, instead the whole unit must be booked in with +- 2 week turnaround. Would have been happy to use transponder with one of my other straps in the interim but this was not an option. ☹
  12. Two things started getting too much: - the above and everything else ad related which seems to be taking up too much of the show - LA' s constant stupid chuckling at the pronunciation of the town names He seems to have stopped with the latter. Wiggo on the show at least creates some fresh perspective and he shares the occasional gem of a story.
  13. All par for the course I guess ... I can only control my own behavior. (and hope that it meets acceptable standards)
  14. Lesser skilled rider if he had to stop. Riders of the past known for this sort of thing would do it on the go while popping a wheelie.
  15. Have you reached out to the distributor for possible assistance. Otherwise this may be an alternative: https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/bike-services-and-repairs/693222/service-and-repair-of-all-smart-trainers
  16. Cavendish too ... 🙊
  17. So he's saying no for now. But I suspect that when he has 2 and the 3rd is in reasonably easy reach ... 😊
  18. +1 Good prices and turnaround. Pity about Sram and possibly other restricted items.
  19. Constantia Nek is a nightmare once traffic picks up, particularly from Hout Bay side. Headed out north (Durbanville) for the first time in a long time, and where that was normally quite chilled with understanding drivers, I can't say that that was the case this morning. ☹
  20. When will people learn to look before flinging their doors open. Probably late for a lunchtime date. 🤬
  21. The shop itself generally gets rated well. But it seems they haven't quite managed to get the physical and online balance right.
  22. I was always one to ride from home, but I too have been driving to the group meeting point instead because of incidents in and around the area. ☹ We do what we must to try and stay safe. 🙏
  23. I was keen to ride this morning and then all of this ... so I guess it's a little IDT session this morning. ☹
  24. On the back of this which I saw on a whatsapp group ... 😡
