Oh ... no damage to the bike that time, luckily!

After the second surgery, my medical bill was R46k!

Not cool!! There are loads of us using this route daily! :devil: Keep us updated!

Nope, Im on tapa now. Couldnt get in early this morning but alls good now!

I did, but I forgot to post here and now I have forgotten, sorry man! But I dont think it was much, 100 to 150g maybe!

Strava QOM emblem already on the bike ... awesome!

Sant Cruz for the Ladies!! :wub: Juliana Joplin carbon 29er with lots of attention to detail! :thumbup: Santa Cruz :thumbup:

The heavier one, cost more!

As average as averages can be, that calculation is far more accurate than the duration based calc. With the early duration based calc, you could switch your unit on (without even wearing your HR belt) leave it on your desk and disappear. Upon return 3 hrs later, you would have clocked 2500 calories or something stupid. Keep in mind people differ any waaay too many variables needs to be taken into account, variables that a little computer on your handlebar is going to struggle to comprehend. V02 max rates Metabolism % body fat Fitness level Whst you had for breakfast CO2 absorption rates Etc etc etc I would still like to know what happens when you hit the stop button on your unit after a workout? Dies your body automatically stop burning calories? No it does not! So how much does it keep burning for how long after your workout ... and again we are back to a long list of variables! The law of averages assumes that an unnatural short term balance will occur, hence all the avarages in the calculation!

In short: The Forerunner uses an older type of caluculation of which the basis is duration of workout. The Edge use a newer calculation, an algorithm based on averages that takes more variables into account (based on averages)

Cool, I have about 10 that needs to sowed up with new tubes. Where can I send them?

To make this even more confusing Mr Admin ... look at what I find in my inbox today! Moonlighting much? Ok, stop freeking me out now!

Almost thought you meant a fellow Hubber crushed the record!

29er - Check! Had a chat about bike choices here: https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/132631-bike-choice-absa-cape-epic-2014/

One of my favorites!! :wub: This bad boy weighed in at 1kg less than a certain competitor in the same price class. I wont mention their name, I might get sued!

If you want something puncture resistant ... Continental Gatorskin Sprinter. Tough as nails and probably best value for money.

I try and say away from anything puncture prone. Try permatubes

Is your google broken? Pretty much an XT spec bike, hence the name Big Nine XT

Yes, buy it!

Raced that little section on tubbies and deep section carbon wheels some years back when Gecko cycles hosted the race, no problems! #HTFU

I would not go as far as to call those lightweight, no. They tip the scale around 2100g Bomb proof, yes definitely. Chuck whatever you like at them and they just keep on going. Awesome training wheels

FacePalm ... Not face plant bru!

Im done with jogging ... I have now started ... wait for it ... running! Running my hand through my hair as I prepare for this massive facepalm!

Merida Although you are comparing a 27.5 against a 29er. The Merida Big 7 range is their 650b's. I would rather look at the Big 9 TFS 300. Same spec, same price butt ... bigger and faster!
