Yes. It has happened on occasion with me to. As a matter of fact, yesterday as well. It was preceded with a consistent “re-connection” of my sensors. I also would like the cause and solution. I write it off to Garmin never being perfect on their software side, but I have had Polar and Garmin just gives you so much more functionality and the other brands don’t bother with Discovery.

Saw a nice product advertorial on BikeHub Go to Website of Brand to Buy Online Cannot buy Online Saw they still rock old school - "Buy from Retailer" - route to market Go to first retailer - Can't find online Go to second retailer - Does not have online store Lost interest

Great Development. Regarding the credit card fee paid by the buyer-how does this gel with PASA (payment association of South Africa) strict “no surcharging”? In line with this, my understanding is that all banks’ agreement with service providers highlights this prohibition. I see that Bike Hub provides a service and is not the seller, but was just wondering all the same.

Went to the shops DMed. None have

Hi, Where can I get the Special DT Swiss Grease. JUST THE GREASE. Not the Star Rachet, not the Upgrade Kit, just the Potjie of Grease. It's constantly out of stock. Danie

For mortals like MOST us, really only 1 difference, the price. But for mortals like SOME of us, the difference lies in the fact that I spend more than you, and that can be important. ????

Fully built bikes have 15% import duty. Then you add 15% VAT Bike components only have the VAT. Canyon bikes comes partially assembled. So I can see that some at the Customs office might process it all as bike parts instead of complete bike. It will also depend on the invoice (many lines vs 1 or 2). But shipping is flat. Whether its their €800 bike or €5000 bike. And that makes the cheaper ones less attractive.

“Let’s do a Promo Article as part of our marketing strategy”, says one JaSure exec. “Well, there is a bit of a global bike boom due to the Pandemic, so let do a “How to get into Cycling” one”, says another. ”Great Idea, but to get the ultimate traction, let’s do a bad one, that can lead to 50+ comments and days on top of the active comments list”. “And makes sure somewhere we drop something about Specialized in the comments, that will keep things going a bit longer.” And so we all fall for it. Fun times to be had though. PS. Why is cycling gloves in particular so expensive. Pound 4 Pound in my book, the most expensive general bike item

Like the brand or not. Like the price or not. This thread has 160 comments before me. 57 on the EVO. Cannondale Scalpel 43 Trek Supercaliber 15 (at the time of this post) Those carry equally crazy prices. My take. This brand has alot more brand presence than any other in SA. And they get traction like no other. Traction provided from Fanboys and Trolls alike. They all click. I think the marketing guys in the S’Bosch offices go “mission accomplished!”

I paid R50k for a R7.2kg (no pedals and cages) Ultegra Di2 Disc brake bike - New! It’s called last year’s bike that need to go and make space for this year’s bike. Interesting that 15s up Alp du Huez. Could a rim brake have been quicker, maybe? But would love the timing of the round trip - Up and Down. And throw in a sprinkle of rain and time again.

I don’t agree. This service is for a specific client, like myself. Assessing my own risk, theft from home is extremely low, almost nill. Thus, having 3 bikes, it just do not make sense for me to insure all of them for theft while not riding 3 times over. And, whilst I can possibly exclude theft from home from my policy, I can only ride 1 bike at a time. So in principle, this approach is what I have been looking for. Only problem, their rates are not linear enough for me. A R400 full month quote equates to something like R190 for 1 day. Yes, you cap out at the R400, but that is after like 5 or 6 days. this therefore does not really help the 3 bicycle dilemma. You will be better of insuring them traditionally and negotiate multi asset discounts, especially if you ride each 3 or 4 times a month. so now I contradict myself I know. So in summary, great idea in principle for those with low “theft from home” risk. Poor pricing negates the advantages though

It will be. He is not going through the local shark, I mean anti-competitively geo-locked protected agent.

There were a 156 finishers from Group $. That is the only people who had a theoretical chance of winning the CTCT. Even if you in 1A had a better time, no trophy for you. So that, in reality, was the only race. (and of course the ladies race from their starting point). And I am not saying e-bikes should be allowed in this race (along with doping etc.) I am talking about the participation of many people who enjoy riding their bikes, al be it with assistance (for whatever reason), on a nice day out (even with the wind) on a wonderful route. Their numbers don't justify yet their own fun ride with closed routes around the peninsula. Yes, consider all that needs to be considered, safety, influence on other's enjoyment etc. But don't do it with a preconceived idea of banning. I am sure equitable solutions can be found. Evidence suggest you will not be successful in banning them anyway. But cycling loves banning frivolous things. UCI racing license riders can't even ride with their kids or charity events if they are timed and not sanctioned. Come on. And Last time I checked, there wasn't a line of car racers lining up in the FAQ section of the Argus, Two Oceans and Durban July asking to participate with their cars, so not really a great example.

Ah, e-bikes. I saw one without any numbers or boards. So I just thought is it one who "slipped" in. Like most new things in life, it will take time to understand how to deal/incorporate them. I for one have a tremendous issue with the "JUST BAN" everything that is new approach. Like AirBnB, Uber etc etc. Yes there is issues, off course there will be, its new. But banning, will never work. Even the car was new at some point and yip, banned from the roads at first. e-Bikes exists. e-Bikes get marketed e-Bikes sell. That is reality. Rather have an approach to incorporate rather than ban. It is a fun ride after all.

Why do so many do that? Do they realise it is for 1735th place. I went around with my wife today. And what a ride from 3D. No shouting, no irresponsible weaving, no gunning for the 12425th place at the line. Just great conversation, polite, "passing on your right" and some awesome memories with the wife. Maybe a fun ride should just be that - a fun ride, even in the wind EDIT (3D not 3G - my wife is adamant)
