I'd rather lick Jacob Zuma's ass crack in summer at Nkandla on live TV before I buy another Garmin device.

hahahaha, bloody hell, I literally just laughed tea out my nose. #truestory But damn, them Fenix boys are batting hard for Garmin. PS. All those who say Connect is not a crappy app, must have championed Blackberries in their life too. I'm dumb enough to own more than one Garmin device and they cant even sync simple stuff like recovery times etc. No man, it's 2020. Gotta get rid of these Garmins with their Nokia interfaces.

My 820 battery just doesn't hold any more. I bought two kits together (one for my assistant) and his still works perfectly despite being used way more frequently. Took it in, and laughably they wanted like 75% of the 830 price to "replace" it. At just 18 months and only about 90 rides. Wahoo will have my business shortly because Garmin honestly just didn't give a f*ck to listen to me.

I bought tube steel, a can of spray paint and had some wood at home. I then splashed on 4 wheels. Complete cost? (I had welder, grinder etc) R340. And honestly, it's miles better than any one I tested / saw because the bigger wheels roll nicely on my gym floor and it holds my 16" Laptop perfectly with space for a bottle or two. Not to mention fits well around the front wheel. It's stable as anything, but if I did it again, I'd fill the bottom piece with sand / lead / weight to have it bulletproof stable (not needed), but it may affect rolling. Pity I dont Zwift anymore. I literally made it 1 ride before the ban on riding outdoors lifted, and outdoors beats indoors, so fuuuuuuck that.

LOL. R20k for a Garmin watch. Suppose the Garmin fanbois are going to go bef0k for these. And it's winter, you can rock your K-Way puffer with it too. "it's a look. it's a lifestyle."

Also as a user of Apple products only, you can stream 3rd party apps if you have an Apple TV 3rd generation or newer. Or at worst, run on iPad and Airplay to your TV.

Fox made a 38 for the fast riders, RockSux had to make something in the category for the slower ones.

I bought a plot in Constantia for 60% of asking price.

I admit to sniffing it more than I should. LOL

Lately using the Muc Off Dry Lube. Yellow cap and it smells like banana sweets. LOL DH bike in Morzine last year, multiple roadies on the, well, roadie and also XO1 and XT 12-sp (with XTR cassette) and been some of the best lube and cleanest chains I've ever had. Strangely the roadie I have on my IDT (wheel off) fukking hates it.

Yes, that would work, I bought the same thing for my Tacx trainer. Note that you may have to grind down the one side (appears to be a common issue).

I have Zee on my DH bike, and the new XT (12 speed) 4-pot trail brakes on my trail bike. Before that I had the 4-pot XT M8000 series on my trail bike. Zee was definitely the best UNTIL I got the new XT 4pot. Holy crap. Makes the Zee feel weak in comparison (I also have had Saint). So off this "research", if someone wants cheap brakes, 4 pot, just get the new SLX or Deore 4 pots. They're basically the same and will have the power.

I've opened Activity Monitor on my Mac when Zwift is running and it was about 10%.

I got some from Enjoy called the Retilia or something. Tight enough, but also baggies. A fantastic fit. Use them for everything from stage race to enduro riding.

No issues here - but swapped out from xD to Microspline on Hope PRO4 rear hub. 7 months and no issues.

Good, as mentioned above, each fraudster just drives up the premiums for us all. Send the bastard to jail. That said, too many chancer claims have pushed up bicycle insurance I notice. I'd love just a basic theft (either from house or out being mugged for example). I am happy to take the risk for broken bikes etc... cant seem to find a separate policy like this.

haha, 100 bucks says easily triple most peoples. Just better at handling it. Occassionally have the medics carry me off a project, but after an hour or two, I pull out that IV and check myself out.

High stress and long hours dont seem to affect my riding at all. The only thing I have noticed is lack of sleep or bad / broken sleep f*cks me up properly the next day. Oh, and egg and bacon breakfasts before rides. I am flatter than Jacob Zuma's IQ.

This is an easy reply. It's Eagle!

still beat me. kont.

I went from XO1 to new 12sp XT (albeit with XTR cassette for weight). XT beats XO1 hands down, so imagine it'll beat GX too. And GX cassette == weight of XT cassette so go for it. The shifting up under load is incredible.

December I cannot make, so 2021, here we come. Bummer. In the meantime.... It will take you to your lounge in your underpants.

Less typing, more pedalling.

Phew, but the SRAM riders are protective hey. If you look at a lot of the parts, XO1 Eagle and XX1 is pretty much the same. XO1 as said is more for the enduro / trail riders, and XX1 for the XC guys. Rear cassette? different colour. Cranks, a little beefed up on XO1. But that said, I've just ditched X01 for the new XT / XTR (cassette) build with 4-pot enduro brakes. Happy as anything, and hopefully doesn't need fiddling every few months. That said, even a friend who dumped Eagle for a new 12sp SLX (with XT cassette) build is raving non-stop about how it can shift anywhere, anytime, any cadence, any load up and down like clockwork. Not to mention being able to use pointer finger to "pull" downshift (and more than one at once). Each to their own, but honestly, I couldn't imagine going back to X01 now. Even if it was free.

I'm going to get a new Apple Watch series 5. Have a nice Friday Hubland. The Garmin sheeple must be raging at that.
