  1. All my new goodies paid for, now to wait for the deliveries #happychappy
  2. I saw the post on Facebook. The bike took most of the impact, back wheel hit the rear end, but it seems like the dropout is damaged. Luckily I got my right foot out and managed to lock back and before impact I let go. Like 5 bruises on my right leg and swollen hamstring.
  3. Glad you okay bud. Hope you heal up soon. Got taken out by an Uber yesterday as well just outside SIMON’STOWN ????????‍♂️ Thinking of going back to golf.
  4. It's been a productive day
  5. New bike/ build finally completed
  6. It all depends on the amount of watts drawn. I would suggest looking at the specifications of all equipment you would like to use and then calculate the rating of the UPS required.
  7. I use the Bushido, Ipad, and wifi. Wifi can run on UPS for around 9 hours, only draws like 8 watt per hour. Only issue is heat/ sweat as no fan available.
  8. And we all should accept criticism, positive or negative. High five for offering to redo
  9. I finally reach the point of giving up again. The first I stopped for 2 years and started last year December. Definitely had a huge impact on cycling and running. Previously I vaped and that helped me to get of smokes and then getting of the vape was easy. This time, I am of smokes for roughly 10 days, cycling feels better and I can easily run a 10km. Will eventually get bored of vaping and then I will hopefully be in the clear. Definitely will not smoke again!
  10. Purchased a new stem, could not find anything that bolts into stem cover. Decided to go with with a steer tube mount and in my mind reversing it works, haven’t tried it out yet. Looks much better vs on top of the stem.
  11. Definitely not my day! Derailer hanger snapped off at millers point, chain cassette and derailer stuffed. Luckily the camera man had some tools, managed to setup 52 14 fixed. Did not have the right mindset for smits, chappies and suikerbossie and definitely not spending the afternoon waiting for a sweep vehicle, soooo... I was the guy going in the opposite direction. Made it home safely ???? Rip to the fellow cyclist.
  12. Maybe I should try again, hopefully the second time I won't be grumpy too.
  13. I must add that I started when I was 10 and stopped at 34.
  14. I stopped for 2 years, unfortunately it caused an increase in stress and anxiety. As a result I started having trouble sleeping and that slowed down my healing process causing muscle fatigue as well as weakened immune system. I was on the verge of giving up cycling. Started smoking in December, 3 days later I was back on the bike and everything felt great. Sleeping pattern change, haven't been sick since and my legs feel stronger. I am not saying smoking is good, we all know it's bad, but in my case, I feel i'm better off sticking to it. Also, checked my training stats, (not smoking = high cadence, high average heart rate) (smoking = low cadence/more torque, lower average heart rate) Conclusion, I would rather have the legs vs the lungs and no legs.
  15. You can use any device that is recognized by discovery. This is my 4th year having the benefit and I’ve never used the watch. Just link the app you using to discovery app. All you need to do is make sure you meet your weekly goals.
  16. Spot on!!
  17. After 2 years of not smoking I started again. Guess the stress of life to was getting me and started keeping up at night. Cycling never helped as it would only elevate cortisol and left me awake most nights. That led to slow recovery to the point of nearly hanging the bike up. Gave smoking a try, 4 days later I'm back to sleeping like a rock. Cycling feels so much better, everything just makes sense. I must add that I started at 10 and gave up at 33.. Conclusion... smoke vs anti depress, anti anxiety etc... I'll choose smoking every time. I know it's bad and there's no way of justifying it, but in my case, i think I'm better off with it.
  18. First attempt... ENTERED!
  19. I have tried Rouvy a few times. The ride is much harder compared to the road/ zwift. Also, the incline on the Bushido smart trainer feels much harder, played around with the settings, but no improvement.
  20. I use my garmin 520 when on zwift with all sensors. Once ride is completed garmin uploads to garmin and strava, zwift upload to strava, go on strava and delete garmin activity. One activity on garmin, one on strava and 300 vitality points.
  21. Where in Cape Town are you? If you can bring it to Plumstead I might be able to assist you. Get me on whats app. 0724364515
  22. So, after the whole selling/ keeping situation, I decided to keep ????
  23. One of my adds, enve 2018 handlebar and stem R4000. New price 10 - 11K so I would say it's well priced. Just have to wait for someone who requires it. And then, I was offered R1500, only to find that the same person offered Ti guy R1500 for his bars as well. I have sold a few items on the hub, but I have a few items that is not selling. Personally I don't think it's overpriced, but then again, is there a formula/ manner to calculate a fair price? I feel that in everyone's best interest, if you know the item and you feel the price is too high, put it in the comment block and make other aware. I was in the market for a MTB and shortly realised that I have lots of homework to do before investing in 1 as I don't know what I need, XC, trail, size etc.. Gave up on that for now. Now comes the low balling, happens all the time. I just choose to ignore, saved me from actually breaking up my roadie.
