Eventually got a reply. Actually, got three replies since I tried three different channels. The good news is, Garmin said they'll replace the out of warranty unit. The bad news, the reply was from Garmin USA 🙃 Let's see...

Yeah, thought about. Will probably check it out today or tomorrow.

I think the biggest issue is that I left this to the last minute. The tri is on the weekend and somehow there are no tri shops in or close to Cape Town CBD?

Doing tri's about once a year. My First Ascent pakkie is showing its age now, so I'm looking for something new. Any suggestions? Preferably single-piece/short-sleeve/butterfly.

Last time I had to dig out a TomTom Runner where the strap also went on day one. Miraculously Takealot stocked spare straps (and still do!). This time I have my wife's old Vivoactive4s as a backup. I get we don't need all of the gimmicks, but once you go back, you get a new appreciation for some of those "gimmicks".

@WesleyR did you ever get this resolved? Had the same issue with my F7. Back then Garmin was quick to reply, gave me replacement F7Pro. Now my F7Pro has developed the exact same issue, and Garmin is not responding to their emails (its been 3 weeks). So much for a robust multisport watch 👎

The 955 currently on sale for 250 Euro (it's a plastic F7, hence the topic). A good buy? My wife needs a replacement for a Vivoactive4s. So it's either the 955 or the newer 265s. Or the Venu3s (but on her behalfI I don't like the latter 😀). All in the same price range.

For a moment I thought Insect Science was sponsoring the team's nutrition. (Well done to the podium finishers)

Same chip marks. Same bottlecage... More than 18 months later - nice find. OP was last onlinr in 2023. Maybe send a direct msg?

And remember to pay for your annual biking permit so SANParks can continue to freeload off volunteers to keep our trails in good conditions 🤙

My biggest issue with the importers is not so much the stock limitation itself, but the fact that they only have limited options available and then claim exclusive import rights into SA. I know it's not unique to SA's cycling market, but still...

After all of these comments I went to a Spez shop - one that's supposedly revolutionary. I was this 🤏 close to buying a spez lid, but they didn't have the helmet that I was looking for in a plain colourway (in my size though) they told me a the colourway on the website doesn't exist. they were more expensive than the listed price on the web The search goes on...

Are the decals removable? Asking for a friend...

I did for 5 seconds. But I come from a place where everyone, including their dog, owns a Spez. I will never.

Thanks, but their range is very limited. Found some other sites too - also very limited range. Nothing mid to top tier available.
