  1. While it is a small change - being able to have the varia radar vibrate your wrist when there is a car speeding from behind you is a nice addition. what I dont get is my varia radar talks to my 510, but wont talk to a much newer fenix 3...
  2. crap. That sucks.reminds me of a time Iflew aer lingus (irish carrier) and was travelling with kids so bough an extra bag online in advance being the smart traveler i thought i was. Arrived at check in and was stung GBP300 in excess weight - when i replied "there must be some mistake i bought an extra bag" the check in lady sweetly replied "yes dear, i see you bought and extra bag, you just didn't buy any weight with it" So i had just bough the ability to divide my existing weight allowance among one more bag... FAIL. Always fly emirates so this is big So to confirm there is now a standard $500 charge to fly with a bike box? Even without any other luggage? FYI - and positively - i noticed that SAA still have the sporting allowance where 23kg of sports equipment is NOT included in your baggage allowance which rocks. Most other airlines allow you to take sporting equipment BUT it is included in your weight allowance.
  3. Coming out of a Korean winter got some serious use out of this little corner of pain... Summer allowing me to get out more, but as it was said earlier, cant beat the convenience of IDT... (and yes, i need a bike stand)
  4. Maybe I'm missing something here but the thing I love about the kickr is that you don't burn your road wheels and can get accurate power readings when you stand up - why would you want this over a normal kickr? (Excuse the ignorance here...)
  5. Oh and will it be allowed in triathlons (full iron man) ? (Not there yet, but dont want to have to re buy)
  6. Hi guys This must be the most read thread on the hub! Meezo, I know I've been talking about it for years, but finally took the plunge - picked up a ultegra Di2 (11-32) 11 speed groupset and now need a home for it... Like the look of the dengfu fm206 ( http://www.dengfubikes.com/product/detail.php?id=187) with some deep rims - 50 mm clinchers ( http://www.dengfubikes.com/product/detail.php?id=172 ) Does anyone have experience with the frame, how it rides etc, and whether it can handle a internal di2 battery? Thanks Luke
  7. Ok so now considering building a bike! The above choices vs a time xrxs vs a Ridley Noah Ultra 2012?
  8. Giant then. Sold!
  9. My thoughts too... Anything else worth considering in that range (£1900)
  10. To be honest - want it for the frame - "future proof" or at least a season or two Components I can upgrade as it goes...
  11. Both 105's http://www.bikeradar.com/road/gear/category/bikes/road/product/review-felt-ar5-14-48153/ http://www.bikeradar.com/road/gear/category/bikes/road/product/review-giant-propel-advanced-3-14-48147/
  12. Hi hubbers Am torn - looking at a giant propel advanced 3 or a felt ar5? Leaning towards the giant because it reads excellently, but the reviews are not keen on the rims... What are your thoughts?
  13. No stress... Anytime from 5:30, so can be as late as 6:30, but then we have to KOM it
  14. Hey gstar There are a span of people riding the mountain in the mornings - less so now that the weather is nasty... I try leave anytime from 5:30 and it takes 1:30-2:00 hrs via blockhouse - tafelberg road to town. Not stressed about time so chilled about fitness etc - drop me a pm wih your cell phone no and will what's app when next we ride. Luke
  15. Stupid question possibly, but are there any seats left on this bus?
