    All they need is to add a forum section and some classifieds, and we have competitors.

    Seems a new player has entered the market, maybe stepping on BikeHub's toes. https://www.news24.com/ride24/news/ride24-new-lifestyle-site-for-cycling-enthusiasts-launches-in-sa-20201210
  3. Someone put a lot of thought into this business idea, but just not enough. They ended with a "sure we can do that", where they should have ended with a... "but should we do that". Sorry guys. Pass.

  5. Many years ago I bought my wife a set of (new) Mavic track wheels, the Eclipse model of memory serves, from CWC. It arrived with clear tyre lever marks on the rim, a sliiiight buckle in one of the wheels and scratched decals on the one hub. They insisted the wheels were new, but agreed to send me a few "free" track sprockets as compensation (essentially an admission of guilt in my eyes). Nice.
  6. My humble opinion about this thread.
  7. If your bike has internal cable routing and sleeves that the cables run through, don't be smart and pull them out. Can't recall why I did. Especially not the night before a race. Had to remove fork and BB to get the bloody thing back in. And... it was my wife's bike. Eventually got to bed like 2am.
  8. TR or not TR. If its kevlar/folding bead, you can make them tubeless. Most tyres are fine but some have paper thin sidewalls (like Schwalbe Furious Fred), and they are also fine if you are willing to risk it and know you'll be able to pick your lines well in rocky areas. Put it like this... since tubeless first hit the market I have NEVER used a "real" tubeless tyre, never ever. And it has ever only backfired on me once. I've always used regular tyres with folding bead (not wire bead) and just pick the ruggedness of the tyre based on how I know the course will be.
  9. 1. I wouldn't recommend Framesby. I was there years ago and left. And I was told by another ex classmate it got worse. And thats 20 years ago. 2) Unprettiness? WOT BRUV?
  10. Eish. Well, I'm not buying another watch just to be able to get Vitality points. It will have to wait until this watch dies.
  11. Well that's what I needed to find out, but not what I hoped to hear. Yes, it does have a comment at the bottom saying the workout is from SyncMyTracks. Are you aware of any application I can push a workout to that Vitality will accept? SyncMyTracks can push to a variety of applications web and mobile.
  12. 1) This data will show up in SHealth as exercises. 2) I am not currently on Vitality. I will sign up if this "hack" works, but basically need a month's "demo" on it. 3) My watch isn't supported, but a GPX file is a GPX file... Yeah it might have a few custom tags, but still.
