    The Classics

    If you watch when Pog attacked, MVDP, Gana and the French guy went with him, in the distance behind you could see Pidcock try to go and bridge up to these 4, but couldn't and sat down

    The Classics

    MVP !!!
  4. The guy sold it because he had to have knee op and changed to an Apple watch. So I got it for a bargain. I have had it for 4 months now with full training for racing IMSA next week. Have had no problems with it and heavy usage in the last 6 weeks, so lots of GPS use and charge about once a week. I do use an Edge 130 plus for cycling, so has been mainly used for running, open water swimming and as my watch.
  5. I picked up a Garmin 255 for R3k on FB marketplace and it was only 6 months old. I had a F945 for 5yrs, it was bomb proof as a triathlete doing 3 disciplines almost daily. I wanted something which recorded HRV and a few other health metrics etc as the F945 didn't and could not justify upgrading to the F955 or F965. I don't need the maps, or the Amoled, so happily downgraded to a 255, with slightly less battery (minimal) and no maps, but still capable of doing a full Ironman event and having plenty of battery. And I now have additional health metrics that I can monitor.
  6. A couple of times recently, I ordered on Ali expecting to go through SAPO and the items were actually couriered similar to Temu, Not as fast as Temu, so maybe they have changed to try and compete with Temu. I did not choose a courier option, just whatever was stated for shipping to SA.
  7. As you received an email, it is a factual document. Would you care to post/attach a copy. Redact any personal information that you deem. Understood if you don't want to.
  8. Why not do a community service and let the case proceed? At the same time collate all that have a legitimate fraud case against him. Should he want his day in court, proceed with laying a class action of all that come forward, as he will need to be present for the case. Further you could ask the court and even a lawyer to serve a summons in person for all the fraud as he will be there You allow him to have profiles on bikehub hub and I would not be surprised that he has conned people via bikehub. And, the way I see it, he has used his usual strong arm tactic of threatening and you have ultimately backed down, by removing posts. Rather than contacting the poster of these posts and asking if the information stated is factual or hearsay, and can they standby their post. Else to remove it. We all know his standard MO, is to threaten, but will not follow through, as it opens him to counter legal action! Edit, I believe there are a few lawyers here who am sure would happly send a reply and that would likely be the end of a threatened case.
  9. F3 - 3yrs, was still working, sold it F5 - 2yrs, was still working, sold it F945 - 5yrs, recently sold it Now have the F255, which I picked up cheap, I expect it to also last years. For me, I have not suffered with garmin issues and that includes the Edge 500, 520 and 130 plus over the years

  15. If buying a new crank and it is for your wife, also consider getting shorter crank arms, either 170 or 165mm, She will be able to spin easier on the hills
