This. I had the exact issue where my Lezyne Flow HRM wouldn't sync to my Garmin Edge 1000. Did the digging and found out the Edge 1000 Unuit is the same as the XOSS, The bluetooth is only used for syncing data to 3rd party apps and your PC etc, it requires ANT+ for all sensors, and the Lezyne Flow HRM didn't have ANT+, Only Bluetooth.

Those ones in Pretoria are sukkeling though a bietjie ne...

Yep this EXACT thing happens at schoolboy rugby EVERY year.

Not so much doping, But still cheating nonetheless is the matter of age cheating, Most notably in Football in our country and I've experienced it 1st hand. In 03/04 I played for the Cape Town Academy, at the time which was the "breakaway" from the FC Fortune club after Quinton Fortune and his agent and club chairman Colin Gie's infamous fallout, So we were essentially the Man United academy is SA if you want to call it that, Very similar to the Ajax CT/Ajax Amsterdam link. Anyway, Because we were a new club to the association, we were put into the Promotion league and not the Super League against the other academy clubs like Ajax CT and Hellenic etc back then, Our 1st few games we were winning 11-0, 17-0, 15-0 etc and even beat Meadows 21-0. Anyway we had this 1 "kid" playing for us we called "Shoes" at the time, He was short (no red flags), but built like a tank (amber flag as we were u17 so 14,15,16yr olds). We were clearly too strong for the league but they refused to move us, we then played in a knock-out game where all leagues are combined and we played vs Tableview who were in the super league above us, Now if there are old ballies who can moan, Tableview possibly take the cake along with Edgemead LOL, Anyway We beat them comfortably, I think it was 7-0. After the game their coach came into our dressing room to ask to speak to Shoes, he took his name on his players card, ID number and asked what school he attended. On the Monday the Tableview coach went to the school "Shoes" attended and asked the Principal if a learner by that name with that ID number attended the school and the Principal said yes. He then called the kid to the office and a small, scrawny little kid came in. The coach showed the kid a pic of Shoes and asked if he knew him to which he replied and said it was his cousin who was about 22/23. When they asked the kid how shoes got hold of his birth certificate as you need it to register, the kid said that his birth certificate was missing for a long time and that shoes had possibly stolen it from their house. Turns out shoes was 23. We immediately had all our points deducted and only just managed to survive relegation at the end of the season even though we were unbeaten. That's just one of MANY cases I experienced in my career, and it happened in cricket too because if a kid comes to trials and brings a birth certificate, what can you do as birth certificates don't have pics attached!!

Thank goodness I'm not the only one to notice...

I guess I better start training then....

100k for a "top end" bike is a bargain these days. I view a "Top end" road bike as a Full Carbon Race bike, Dura Ace Di2/Sram Red AXS, Very good carbon wheelset, possibly PM included, Carbon bars etc. But realistically, you not getting all that for 100k(and DEFINITELY not with 12spd) and if you want your road bike "top end", You're still going to be spending money after the initial 100k. You could however get a well spec'd bike for that price yes but then again you're sitting with Ultegra di2/Force AXS most likely and a few other possible upgrades to be made. So if you can pick up a top end bike for 100k from a mate as a lucky buy, I do think there are enough, Not many, But enough guys willing to buy because I've seen a few on here last a day or 2 max, yes there are a few which have been around for a month plus, BUT, I have seen a few go very quickly.

How is it already Friday?? Damn that week went quick... 🤣

LOL naah I mean the same kinda damage to the bike, area of the fork snapping etc and the rest of the bike looking fine...

It's not such a bad car... Come on...

What's weird is that I've now seen it twice in 3 days. The pic below is a friend of mine who crashed at Killarney on Sunday in the WP winter league...

Lekker vid. Should've probably left out the part where you guys rode the part from the start along Eastern Blvrd and all the way down the M3 which is illegal for cyclists on every other day apart from CTCT day.

Mike's video Edit wins the internet for today though... 🤣🤣🤣 https://instagram.com/stories/mike_posthumus/3064090289353958637?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY=

Eina.. Baie Eina +- 75k before shipping and all other fees involved..

Yeah saw the release around their wheels, sticking with their glossy over "raw" finish and CULT bearings with a different spoke pattern from the WTO .. Interested to see what a set is going to cost (Not for purchase obviously) LOL

Guys are still hungover from World Champs.. I for one am super keen to follow the Epic and looking to go and watch a stage or 2 at the finish line this year. Always such a lekker vibe.

If I'm not mistaken the Conti ones are brass. Had set on my previous set of wheels which I completely forgot to take off when the insurance collected them. Needless to say any attempts to retrieve them went terribly so just wrote them off basically.

Yeah makes sense, But with that introduction of the shorter route, it means the M3 is closed in both directions, I'm pretty sure the cost to run the event will then also increase somewhat, And it's the M3 then Eastern Blvrd inbound which needs to stay closed to cars later than outbound with the short route and also requires more medics on stand-by, ambulances, traffic services etc etc. I'd hate to see what next years event will cost for both routes if they try to take less entries into account because we know the price won't come down, But the qu is, how much will it increase by to compensate for less entrants? Oh well, Guess we won't know till later this year.

The main question then for the organizers would have to be, If they are guaranteed to lose lets say 3000 entries due to Ramadaan, Financially, Will the event still be able to take place? I mean it's gone from 35k a good few years ago when I started and even a lucky draw entry system because there were so many people wanting to do the event, to just over 18k this year and people literally entering at the expo and doing substitutions there too which was never a thing before. So already they're almost at half of the entrants they were 10years ago. Yes the entry fee has doubled in that time to possibly compensate for that and the fact that everything has become more expensive, But I'm pretty sure once they only start seeing 15k entrants, it's going to become a major worry. I think they've already lost their title/"slogan"/selling point of "the biggest timed cycling event on the planet", and if not yet, They will soon.

You should probably go home, Your family is probably worried and wondering where you are. LOL

Lol naah I meant this for the real world champs.. Like, the okes fighting for Rainbow stripes world champs! LoL

Hahahahaha naah I was pulling @Pure Savage leg because Brendan rode the 2nd lap with his son sporting some fast Zipps LOL
