    Endomondo has this, your friends can see your training live, position, distance, etc. not sure how well it works these days though. My guess is Strava will have this feature too? But as has been said, they all use a lot of battery.

    It's the one that has a wide, flat looking piece of metal coming out from under the bumper. With 4 bikes on a platform rack it flexes up an down excessively, and is very distracting in the rear view mirror. It was about R1800 about a year ago, luckily it wasn't my purchase With this particular model, they also seemed to have only attached it to the cars chassis, and not replaced the metal "under-bumper" like they do with other ones.

    I have a Thule towbar on my Polo, and it was well worth it. The Bosal is about the same price, but the Thule looks so much better. It is also very solid, and I use a 4 bike platform rack on it. Do not go cheap and get one of those SA Towbar ones, if you do ever put a 4 bike rack onto it, it flexes all over the place and you freak out every time you look in your rear view mirror.

    I started as a way to keep fit when my knee started hurting from jogging. Once I tried my first proper trail, I was hooked. Best way to see new places, great adventures.

    Other matchmaker brakes from SRAM (non-avid) are Guide R, RS, and RSC.... I unfortunately have only ever seen reviews on the RSC, the most expensive ones.

    I've been using Ikon EXO front and back for a year (1700km), with minimal wear. Lots of cycling in Giba, over rocks, etc with no issues.

    FNB offer a service to get money out of PayPal accounts, even if you bank with another bank, they will obviously charge a fee.

    I find with Maxxis Ikons front and rear, that the front tends to wash out. The Ikon is a strong, long lasting, fast rolling tyre, but maybe put something else up front (Ardent Race?).

    Here is very limited information on "Mountain Bike" magazine, there are 3 issues a year: http://www.electricink.co.za/mag/256

    I think these are PureGrip, R349 each .... http://www.easybike.co.za/continental-race-king-29-x-2-2.html http://www.easybike.co.za/continental-x-king-29-x-2-2.html

    Neither. Like Fanie said, they just re-use articles, only the bike reviews can be interesting. Tread is definitely one of the best, there's also some new quarterly mag which is really good, the name escapes me at the moment...

    bump, I'm interested in this as well. I don't think you get the PureGrip with Protection, but I've personally never had an issue with tyres that have paper thin sidewalls, so keen to try these out.

    I've been using a Specialized Phenom Expert for about 2 years now, very comfortable for what looks like a minimalist saddle.

    Sorry to hear I cycle that area often, not cool

    I have had the Buzzrack Buzzy Bee 4 for over a year, and I still wouldn't buy anything else

    I believe they refer to the Maroon route as single track heaven, haven't had the chance to try it yet

    http://www.hollatrails.co.za/ awesome place

    Thanks, I had not even heard of the DB5 till now. Looks like the old Avid caliper.

    I've been considering the R version, I doubt I will use all the top line features. Unfortunately only the RSC has been reviewed anywhere.

    It could just be the viewer you are using, are those screen shots from Garmin Connect? For example, if you open the same track in the Garmin Connect "Player" the resolution will get even worse. Try export the track and open it in another app, such as GPX Editor.

    I had the same issue and used the flat screwdriver on my multi tool to get it to turn, you push against the bumps on the nut.
  23. nickcza
    It seems politeness gets you nowhere with service, from any kind of business.
  24. nickcza
    but is anyone buying them ...

    Both my Ikons show 580g on my scale. They are not TR but are EXO, they work tubeless... claimed weight is 590g.
