  1. I have the Varia also connected to my F6 over and above the 830 - as you can set a vibration alert on the F6.
  2. With the Garmin Radar you can use the IQ App MyBikeRadarTraffic Data field. Ride files can be uploaded to https://www.mybiketraffic.com/ FWIW.
  3. From my experience I am quite convinced cramps are caused by muscle exhaustion ('ooreising') and salt, minerals, etc etc are not the silver bullet to prevent / fix it. (Training / conditioning is...) So maybe try to do your best to 'manage' the muscle output?
  4. Article in Pretoria Rekord https://rekord.co.za/437436/hundreds-of-cyclists-outraged-when-tshwane-classic-race-was-ca0ncelled-at-the-eleventh-hour/ I wonder what Mauritz is going to do with the say ~R1m now, as I don't think there will be another race organised to allocate these monies to... (Would be interesting to know if any other party was indeed contracted and paid in advance to render any service.)
  5. Can a refund be effected via a ''Chargeback'' transaction?
  6. We paid CSA a membership fee - surely they can't distance themselves from this Hectic-ness? Where are their governance, audit function, oversight and even sanctions etc?
  7. I have a suspicion H.P. saw this coming but nevertheless proceeded to still take money from entrants even as late as Friday afternoon with maybe no real intention to actually present the race anymore....?
  8. Hi Frosty - what is the full reason then? Tx
  9. Thanks Robert - nothing yet :(
  10. Where can we find the batch starting times, as it is not printed on the number? Thanks
  11. Which device do you use as a head unit, i.e. notebook etc? Also, is eg your watch / phone picking up Power (via the app) etc from the Kickr? (OK - after reading again I saw you mentioned the app) (Coincidentally I suddenly had kind of the same issue with my Snap2 on Saturday, and only when I moved the NB to almost next to the Snap I could get Power etc)
  12. Interesting Chris! Yeah, so much info / contradictions everywhere. I have even seen physiotherapists disagreeing with each other on this 🤷‍♂️
  13. I thought (static) stretching might actually be counter-productive? In my case (also >>50) a Functional Fitness training regime changed my general 'muscle health' for the better, maybe consider something like that? (Do read the ref's in the article above as well.)
  14. Quite impossible to clean out, especially with the bead rubbish. Never again - I agree,
  15. Rouvy for me - as three persons in one's household can be linked to the same account on its Family Membership plan.
  16. It's like a virtual event, but you have to drive to it...
  17. Very happy with my Varia as well! On this topic - another way to analyse your Varia rides: https://www.mybiketraffic.com/
  18. Some Schwalbe 2-4-1 tyre deals here: https://www.buycycle.co.za/product-category/shop-by-brand/q-s/schwalbe/ (2 valves also included on some) https://www.schwalbetyres.co.za/mtb/
  19. To clean up sticky glue - not sure re use on carbon but works very well to remove e.g. Gorilla tape remnants from alu rims. Re two layers - Stans recommendation is two layers for road tubeless setups. (Depending on pressure)
  20. I bought my Brooks from Cycle Touring - excellent service! Maybe check with CT re stock?
  21. This is how I rigged up my daughter's 27.5 MTB bike, with a Michelin slick (PS : there are dedicated trainer tires available as well)
