  1. Hi Frosty I do use Connect Garmin App on my phone under most circumstances but the Updates to software I think work through Express only ?
  2. Hi Guys Hope I am posting in the correct forum. My Garmin Express as well as my Forerunner 945 no longer want to connect to each other via my home WiFi which has always worked in the past. When I make my cell phone into a hotspot to the laptop, then both the watch and Garmin Express are able to find each other and do their syncing and updates etc. no problem. I have tried the Garmin Website for help via their live chat (USA I think) as well as the RSA helpline who's number "does not exist any longer" when I try dial it but no luck with either. Anyone have this happen to their router no longer allowing Garmin nor their Watch to find an internet connection ? My router at work my Watch can connect to but we are not able to download Garmin Express. Maybe Eskom power failures upset my home router ? I did a hard reset on the home router and reset name and passwords again but everything else in the house connects to the Wi-Fi except Garmin ? Bit puzzled here.
  3. Made a mistake, turns out the bleed fitting does fit. I had to remove the saddle to get the correct angle for the thread to take. Did another bleed to make sure all bubbles were out.
  4. Hi Guys I found this small little ball inside the chamber for the lockout lever. Any idea where it belongs ?
  5. I recieved the bleed kit but the two brass fittings were only suitable to the thread in the lever and were too small for the actual seat post thread which is one size bigger diameter. I managed to use an extra nylon type swage nipple in the kit and jammed it tight in the hole and was able to still sucessfully bleed the system and the dropper is working 100%. The seller was not sure what the correct fitting should be as the kit he supplied is more geared toward the Reverb stealth where the bleed screw for the post is inline with the hose and has the same thread as the lever. For future I would like to get the correct fitting, but there seem to be two types listed/shown on Sram instruction manual/parts list. They show a threaded unit on their manual but the part number from the diagram brings up a non threaded fitting just with an O-ring. Anyone actually done this job with the non stealth type dropper post with externally routed pipe ?
  6. Kit including oil 14 GBP *Edit https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/113658733974 * Transport about ZAR 273 based on dimension and weight given by seller. You welcome to borrow mine once it arrives if you in my province
  7. All sorted, Registered on Aramex and used local UK address and they forward to you via courier. Thanks for all the advice - bleed kit on route for reasonable price.
  8. Hi All Haven't bought anything from overseas in years and just wondering if I ordered a Reveb Bleed kit from Ebay in the UK, would it ever get here ? The only postage option is UK mail, but I'm not sure if it would make it to me via the S.A Post office. Any suggestions ?
  9. I can try him I guess. Thought he may only keep full kit. Will swing past tomorrow. The only online ones cost so much in postage from Europe that it doesn't make financial sense
  10. Anyone know where I could get these loose ? I just need to to a quick oil service and don't need the whole seal kit. Thanks
  11. I managed to get the car off my name last Friday, even though we had to meet together after 12 months of no contact at the ML department. She got it roadworthied and in her name same day and I took the fines off my 2nd last alimony payment and there were no complaints. Shu. Nothing further tying me to her. Clean slate.
  12. Howzit all fellow divorcees I have a quick question. The car I gave to my ex as part of the divorce was left in my name but the agreement is filed that she is liable for licensing, fines and upkeep. She decided to lend the vehicle to my two kids at various times and between them have racked up almost R6k in fines. As I am two months away from my last Maintenance payment I advised her that I would pay the fines to clear my name and take off the portion from my next payment to her. She obviously got the hell in and said she told the kids to sort the fines which neither have done. My son who I still support is working and could afford his small portion but my elder daughter is out of work, pregnant and is back living with me so I support her 100% ( Don't ask about the father of the unborn ????) Have I a legal footing to withhold a payment if she refuses to sort the fines seeing as I never was involved with the decision to give her car to the kids? I bought each of my kids a car without the ex helping a cent towards them. Or do I have to go to court to enforce the paying of the fines as a separate issue ? I think at the same time I am going to take the vehicle off my name. Thanks guys
  13. Struggeling to find these Tires in RSA - any hope they will ever arrive in this size again. My current tyres are getting a little tired up front.
  14. Chin up guys - it only get's better. Look at my post #1 compared to how I am doing now - chalk and cheese thanks to all the well wishes and advise from all the great people on here including Captain. Moved on, moved up and healed up well. kid's still love spending time with me and their mom. I just avoid the Ex and that seems to have worked - kids are both adults which helps so I don't have to contact her for anything, just pay the maintenance even though my salary is cut into pieces. Good luck you guys.
  15. 19 year old who is working.
  16. The thing is that my ex is an essential worker and will never loose her salary. I on the other had have been reduced this month but am still able to afford full maintenance. Next month we are on no work no pay so that could be dismal for me. Is the court still contactable next month and how would you provide details based on only billable hours to a client will be paid to us as salary. Bit of a difficult one.
  17. Hi All. Does anyone know the legalities of what I would need to do regarding maintenance if I were retrenched or my salary drastically cut which has already happened this month despite using the little leave I had accumulated in the relatively short time at my current employment. Does one approach the court directly or do you negotiate a way with your Ex rather with or without a lawyer involved. Appreciate and ideas.
  18. Looks like I will be spending my break alone at home. Have a dog to look after and my GF is in quarantine a week already due to her daughter returning hurriedly from the UK and was exposed to an infected person. Going to be very lonely me thinks. Hope I can get fit running around my yard [emoji2957]
  19. For us they need to add a DNF status [emoji1787]
  20. If I can get off work I will also love to join you guys and gall's. Have a project that I have been busy with for 3 months, 7 days a week so hard to make free time.
  21. For me was about 6 months but that was actually too soon. Serious relationship was after a year
  22. Sound's like as good a reason as any to ride a bike and compare battle scars - name a weekend and place and the Capetonians can get together for a ride and a beer afterwards - Forrey's comes to mind and close to the mountain.
  23. For me, things have turned out well. Have been together with my special person for almost a year already, my kids both love her and her two children who are similar age. My daughter is back from the USA and her and my son both live together in the duplex my ex bought with my pension payout while she lives with her boyfriend. I still have my freedom to do what I want and have a companion to share life. She even took up trail running so she could come support when I do triathlons. Life is good.
  24. So after a string of mails I decided that it was time to make peace with the Ex by just picking up the phone and calling her rather. She was very teary for some reason but we decided not to argue any longer and just make peace for the sake of the kids and ourselves. I explained how she had badly affected me for a year and my self esteem and she understood why I just cut her off completely. It looks for now going forward we have reached some peace between us.
  25. Download the APP and add your credit card details. I bought a local sim card so I can make use of Google Maps, Train Timetables and Ticket Purchases on the Long Island Rail Road. etc. The most economical option on the CitiBike is the 12$ whole day option with as many 30 minute rides as you please, but be warned, you only have 30 minutes per ride and then you need to dock the bike at any one of a million stations which show up on the APP screen or you get charged more. Bikes are not too bad and have 3 electronic gears and lights. I was cycling until 1 am on the streets of Manhattan with no issues if you stick to the bike lanes, little more hairy if you just join in the normal traffic. Good Luck.
