Guys any advice as to whether it is worth getting the entry level Insta360 Nano?

Pity you had to experience this. I have bought and sold many items on Bikehub and FB MP and I believe in honesty and good pricing. I sell items quickly due to good/value/low pricing and accurately describe the items. Anything brand new must be unused or kinda used once. Else it is not brand new or new- it is used. They misled you IMHO which is not cool. Karma sorts out people like that. A red flag for me is this "my wife only wore it for a few training sessions"- that tells me it is neither brand new nor new- it is a used item probably worn for quite a few sessions. The marks on the strap (after you received it) bear this out - however the scratch on the screen is a biggie and this watch is NOT new in any sense! that scratch should have been clearly indicated in the ad and with a pic of the scratch. Whoever the seller is, thumbs down.

I tried the Garmin Instinct Solar- just wanted to say that it does charge the battery on this model, it's like a functional battery solar gps G-shock watch.

Okay thanks that is helpful- I wasn't able to find that information So it seems I'll be okay sticking with these hubs, thanks guys for the comprehensive info!

So specs should be- F- Giant Tracker Performance Boost 15x110, sealed bearing [R] - Giant Tracker Giant Sport QR141, loose ball What I got instead is: F- shimano FH-MT410 R- Shimano FH-MT401

So I bought a new bike and the specs of the bike online said the front hub is a sealed Giant unit. In the bike shop I checked all specs except the hubs for some reason (trusted the web specs). Then I see the front hub is not a sealed unit and not a Giant hub either. (The rear hub is also not a Giant hub, different to the web specs) Dragons sports are the guys to contact and Gavin Salt tells me they made a running change and on dragon's website it is stated that the front hub is a non sealed unit and not a Giant hub. I didn't even think to check dragon's site beforehand to check for specs. Kinda disappointing. Gavin basically said it makes no difference and if I want a sealed hub I must wait until next year and then there may be rotor compatibility issues. Any thoughts on this from anyone who knows more than I do? And how much better is a sealed hub?

Wow,.. Talk about karma.. sheesh... Modderfontein used to be called a Nature Reserve The signs and wording now just say Modderfontein Reserve The word Nature has been deleted... They also have removed many of the larger animals out of the reserve...

Rode green today, been extended to 22km with the addition of the river section - awesome. The river section has extra distance too which is great. Nice ride. Well done.

...and sewage!

So its a real oke. With a real workshop. Who just happened to forget the difference between a 650b and 29 fork. Who just happened to forget about the thru axle. But was happy to take your money and then send the fork and is happy to mess you around for days. This is 1 dodgy oke, he must refund you and then you send him his fork.

Nice carrier. I have a hatchback and I have on mine the Saris Bones 2. This new EX one works even better with spoilers on top so it looks awesome. My dual sus just fits on the 1st attachment point but not the 2nd- I got a bike bar for this purpose and it works well and does the job creating an artificial temporary str8 top tube- any of them will work whether Saris or the buzz rack one from Sportsmans' or the used Thule one I have which I luckily picked up for a bargain on Bike Hub.

gravel?... Maxxis Ardent 2.4 front Maxxis Minnion ss 2.35 back good luck

Had a good ride there today. Trails are looking good. Had fun on the berms and the forest section loops are good fun. Circle loop out to end off. The lady with the dog on the mtb trail with the dog.. on the little bridge thing.. that was dumb.. was either me or her and glad she jumped out the way.

Modderfontein used to be called Modderfontein nature reserve When The Zendai chinese came along the name was changed to Modderfontein reserve... That for me said it all.. Reserved for development and complexes etc was only a matter of time until they skopped the animals out.. each year the "reserve" grows smaller... Oh well Progress? For some.. Pity that South Africa does not have proper safe protected places.. safe from crime and development and corruption.. like Central Park in NYC in the mighty USA... Starring to ride more around my area.. becoming a grateful tourist in my suburb..

Go to Huddle Trails group on Facebook- big discussion there & they respond- Not just Huddle full of walkers with attitude (some of them) on MTB trails- also Modders, Cradle Moon (bad), Wolwespruit, Red Barn, etc Seems these land owners make more money from walkers who walk less distance than MTBers ride, and who also spend maybe more money with more ppl at the restaurants etc I know Wolwe had politics and what happened there.

I have very wide feet. Tried Specialized and Lake and Adidas which all are wide. I now only wear FiveTen which for me are the widest upfront and comfortable too and great shoes for MTB flats.

Rode there today- 25 min wait in the traffic queue just to get in- perhaps an online system will speed this up? like northern farm or buffelsdrift are online. The entrance road is an obstacle course unless you're in an auto 4x4! lol. Once in there were walkers but they thinned out deeper in- trails are looking good and had a great ride!

I wrote a long post then deleted it. Its just BS & dbl stds- typical anc thruggery. Rode today at Cradle Moon- lekker , tuffer than expected- nice variety but way too often the walker and mtb trails were one and same even single track tech sections- why oh why do this- just an accident waiting to happen

Hectic

Don't recall the name.. they're in my shoes lol.. from Clicks.. they have a good small section.. blue ones.. made in the USA. Affordable too, think was like R100 for 2.

Same here. I had 2FO's and they were fine. Got rid of them as I need a very wide shoe, now I have 5TEN's which are perfect for me and I love the stiff sole. Yeh I got numb too, but I wear insoles as I have a high arch and the extra cushion in the insole prevents numbness.

I had a look now on Giant SA website- or is this just marketing not reality? Can see the Reign 2 for 45k in 27.5 - and the Stance 2 for 25k in 27.5 I'd probably want a new bike inbetween these two.

I like nite rides- I've got the bar light & the helmet light & a jacket for when its freezing in winter like now at night- i'm keen for Wed nite rides........ something special about night riding! amazing how few people really like it.....
