Yes it is. Who wins? Everyone, because more attention is drawn to a site like Bikehub for buying second hand bikes and components. *I don't distinguish between a more formal reseller like a business with a logo, vs someone who does it as a side-hustle.* Who loses? The person who tried picking up a massive bargain.

You’ll definitely get liver failure on a mention of “the ABSA Cape Epic” drinking game.

“The ABSA Cape Epic” for me.

And add the Rand per Kilometer stat as well please.

Big..a..stage today at the ABSA Cape Epic. Nino and ..a.. Lars pulling away from the pack at the ABSA Cape Epic. But perhaps ..a.. this luck is just ..a.. what ..a.. ABSA Cape Epic team Scott SRAM ..a.. needs here at ..a.. the ABSA Cape Epic in ..a.. 2022 and ..a.. the heat is definitely on at the ABSA Cape Epic

Nino rides Maxxis Aspen 2.4 front (EXO protection) and Aspen RT rear (also EXO protection) - so on the marathon stage races I believe they do get the extra protection tires

Good point. Not sure what the average sentiment RE supporting is. - Covid protocals are annoying? - It’s bloody hot on the first 3 days? - Cape Epic’s entry fee feels like robbery so people feel less inclined to support it?

I have an evoc - that thing sits tjoep stil behind my saddle. Does everything and more I want from a saddle bag. For those wondering - I only have 1 bottle cage and ride a dropper, so unless I want an Ibis looking like a touring bike, I'm sticking with a saddle bag. Looking slick I'll leave to the roadies.

Epic routes this year. Lots of climbing. Looking forward to spectating a few of the stages. Good luck to all participating.

Tell him he's a cheap skate.

He clearly doesn’t get it.

Thanks for the review. The devices are so nice that their years-old Fenix 3 is still comparative to the 7x. A bit like Apple iPhones.

So you're moaning about e-bikes on strava and old ladies driving you off the trails? My advice: grow a pair.

Looks like a Giant.

Wear 3 bibs

Downloaded and added to my edge. Keen to check it out on my next ride. Thanks for this - appreciate it.

Will go grab it - thanks a lot

The 935 is my first garmin watch. I wanted a watch that can do open water swimming as well. The features differ so know what you need to know. Now I use it for swimming and jogging. It makes me want to jog/swim more so for +-R3,000 it’s so worth it - even just in terms of now living a more active life.

Heectic. Bought a second hand Forerunner 935 off the Hub for just over R3k. According to DC Rainmaker it’s a Fenix 5 in a plastic casing. Even happier with it now that I know what the Fenix 6 costs.

Follow CP van Wyk or Gert Heyns on Strava and follow the trails they ride. Jonkershoek, Banhoek, Eden/Mont Marie - absolute bliss.

Yeah Knipe or Stoke - almost the only 2 bike shops that really matter in the Cape when it comes to services. Okay no that is very mean - especially to bike shops like William's. I mean I just wish other bike shops would up their game. a lot of bike shops feel like they're only surviving - and from what I can tell, it's probably their own fault.

They can be glad it was Shimano and not Specialized - would have bankrupted the insurance company.

Would be interesting to compare something like this with a power meter or watt bike.

I'm with you on this one. A warranty policy is one thing but brand integrity/ethics is another. Currently dealing with a cracked carbon rim that the supplier won't exchange because I'm not the original owner and because the rim was bought at a hugely discounted price. In my mind, the only reason you would restrict a warranty to the original owner is because you're trying your utmost to make it look like you have a nice warranty, but you actually don't want to honour it. Not even Game asks you who you bought your TV from if it breaks. And they definitely don't tell you that it is was -50% so the warranty doesn't count.

Interested to know how the added running stats have worked so far? What can you see/measure now?
