he probably had the old one with the single bolt design for the saddle rail clamp.

Looks like a superb store. That workshop alone would have cost a small fortune to put together... And that coffee machine... DROOL!!!

one of the other german bike shops also uses a combo of DHL German Post and then SAPO once it gets here. When it gets here it comes via priority tracked delivery and you collect from PO. I had my address listed as my office, so it got delivered to my door and I paid customs there and then. Odd, cos I thought it would come to the Century City post office. But I'm not complaining. In order to get the SA tracking number, you need to phone JHB customs. DO a search via google and you'll find the number very easily.

What a VIDEO!!!!

correct, not any more. Fitness max is 30,000 per year, EXCL the Fitness Assessments.

not really an enduro bike, but awesome!

er, no they didn't... target for gold has always been 45,000 What DID change is the allowable points for fitness activities. If you include the Fitness assessments, you can now get 45,000 for fitness related activities alone ie: 30,000 from exercise and 15,000 from fitness assessments The rest (screening & online) are over and above that...

In essence: Higher discounts on partner store spend Higher flight, hotel & car hire discounts Higher Discovery Card Discounts Better premium increases & cover increases on your Life Policy More payback every 5 years (in addition to the newer annual payback) Pretty much it.

that suuuucks. So. You know what to do. *** hard interval session for 30 min. Die. Continue with your normal routine...

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Dude. Legend. Absolute legend.

is that somethign from a c1600's noble gentleman?

oi, BH... ek het niks oor dit gese nie!

he's saying his actual max HR is 165.

is your significant other also partaking in this? You'll never get to gold if you don't both pull your weight. EDIT: As for the "no real benefit" thing - if all you're doing is racking up points, and you haven't registered for all the benefits (healthy food, flight discounts etc etc ettc) then of course it's not going to be of benefit to you. It sounds like you need someone like me to actually sit down with you and go through it properly, face to face, and register you for all the benefits that you would USE. I've already given you the info on points and how to get to gold. If there are 2 of you on it, BOTH of you need to do the things you need to in order to get there.

will reboot and then check again then...

That linkage - I like it! Dunno how it'd work on the trail, but I think it looks pretty darn simple.

Use tapiriik to sync directly to a new Garmin connect account. Can get one without a Garmin device

Yes, definitely. Your loops around tygerberg etc will suit it well

yes, it will happen. They have always said that the metrics wrt eercise were liable to change, but the soft cap wasn't. Their points targets, however (not the cap) will be reduced as they said.

fully agreed. Love eggs, love steak, recently buying t-bbone and prime rib at special prices when they come up. Ribs. Nomnomnom... Also loads of veg. Broccoli, cauli etc etc.

You missed the bit where they said they're going to reduce the points target for members who are at the upper limits currently, to help smooth the transition between different points allocations. But yes - you're right on the running thing. And it's something that I've raised. Also I think the HR % zones are a bit silly... Especially considering your and Scott's cases where the majority will be at moderate levels.

This. So much this.

anyone having issues with Netflix detecting a proxy / region blocker?

water intensive crop...

BTW - I fully support a tiered discount model. It's far better than flat. At the moment it is semi-tiered, in that it starts off at 10%, you do an online assessment and it moves to 15% then you do a fitness assessment and it's 25%. Personally, I prefer the Multiply version with the partner store discounts being related to your status (not talking about the Discovery Card side, in which they definitely are related to your status - talking about the Healthy Gear / Healthy Food / Healthy Care discounts)
