  3. I do not purchase much on the hub. Although I know that things typically sell for 2/3 or even 1/2 of what they are advertised for, I do not like negotiating. Advertise the product for what you really think it will sel, state that it is non negotiable and it will be gone in no time. like that slightly used casette with just a little chain suck But that is just me.
  4. I am considering going onto Vitality but we have Wahoo and Giant devices in the house aw well as our Whattbike workouts. Can you not sync your workouts via something like training peaks or similar.

  16. Would like to get more info on this. it seems to be different in the provinces.
  17. So does your kid not do any sport, swimming, soccer anything .? It is a sport like any other and you will find competitive parents everywhere. But if the kid actually enjoys the sport you must try to keep them motivated and developing. At their own pace. I often ride with my son, but always let him ride in front, set the pace and decide how long or how far he wants to go. Anything up to 20 km is a breeze for him. With the right bike and equipment of course.
  18. Problem is that they only give recognition for under 12 . Kids need motivation, recognition. Is a nice race and my son has done a couple. The way that they set the course with couple of laps , you can let the kids ride on their own.
  19. Can anyone tell me where we can find mtb races for primary school kids in Gauteng My kid, 7 years old takes part in the shorter mtb races, but there is no recognition for the smaller kids. There are also very few kids under 10 years old that do. These races. I know that there is a high school league in Gauteng, but can not find anything for primary school kids. Surely they need to develop from that age if we want to see some future champs in the making.
