  1. where abouts was this?
  2. I had a hassle and was quoted a stupid price to fix and next thing a call to come and collect a new unit for free ... i was gop smacked as this does not happen often.
  3. I totally agree with wheels .. no way I am going to support a guy who has not paid all his debts. BUT the question is .. How will we really know and we cannot judge on hear say ...
  4. No issue if the person swaps at the start of a race. Not fair if the rider swops because they are tired during a race ... then DNF
  5. I am using the Geax Saguaro XC Tyre's and have seen my butt twice now in the past weeks when the ground is a little wet and muddy. What duel purpose tyre do you recommend and must it be a 2.0 or 2.2 size.. thx miggies212009-08-02 07:10:09
  6. This is a parent issue and not for the PPA to make the call ... my 8 year old did the race in 47 minutes with no hassle ... parents need to be considerate of the others around them and not push the kids behond they can handle. Maybe a 5km kiddie loop would also help.
  7. this is horrible .... i moved back to SA as I love this place, but this sort of thing really makes one ask ... was it worth it
  8. I had this, but also bought her a bike and the problem went away ....
  9. Looks like you guys have picked a great day ... some of us are on Sunday School duty and cannot excape until after 11h00
  10. I have the Garmin Edge 705 after having the S725x .... nothing in it really except the Edge is more of a "gadget". It is nice having the GPS and tracking is great. I would buy a Garmin again..
  11. Totally agree that distibution sucks ... local LBS has sent several emails requesting delivery with no luck. Will not sihn up yet as I want to see if it worth yet ...
  12. Is it possible to export from Sporstracks to the Garmin Training software. I have tried with no luck ...
  13. where can i buy this in Durbanville area .. I have tried CWC, CycleLab, Exclusive Books and CNA ...
  14. Fantastic news ... Garmin did a complete about turn and called me today and replaced the complete unit free.. WELL DONE GARMIN.
  15. thank you ... I will try this ... much appreciated
  16. it is the plastic screen only
  17. Hi ... I had a tumble this past weekend and scratched my Garmin badly on the face. No other problems. The quote is R2200 place vat as Garmin does not repair this in SA. This is not fair. They say they will give me a new unit, but I do want a new unit just a screen replaced at a reasonable fee. Why buy a brand name and not be able to have it fixed in SA. Please can someone give me a contact name of someone at Garmin who will listern as the techie is not helping much. Thx
  18. no chip ... the good old "write the number down quick" way .. please explain to me why this system is still used.
  19. hey .. does anyone know when the results will be up on racetec or is that asking the impossible. The roadie's have the results already ..
  20. does anyone who rides here know if the farmers will allow us to use some of the farm roads ... i have tried and nearly been eaten alive by dogs.
  21. would not be "lekker" for this piece of road to be closed. He also gave us the bit about messing up his security ...
  22. the details are very sketchy from myside ... all I know is that a lady was shot at the Wellington Road entrance of Spes Bona at around 17h20 last night.
  23. we were riding there at 17h30 and the local farmer stopped and warned us about it and that he was on his way back to pick up his pistol ....
