  1. Some more entertaining Vitality Rewards banter here: https://twitter.com/TableMTB Also looking at HR stats from some Tour de France riders. 250km over 6hrs with avg 120 BPM = no points for them on stage 4. (I know that its under review, but its still entertaining) Darly Impey: https://www.strava.com/activities/630991881
  2. The Kauai across the road from the office has closed. No more breakfast smoothies after my ride to work
  3. 1200 for me too. Lets hope that the end of the increases...
  4. Matthias Fluckiger's new, lightweight dropper post. Weighing in at 380 grams, it sheds over 120 grams over its rivals. Matthias has been working on it for over a year now and continues to fine tune his design. The dropper is actuated by the new Fox Transfer remote, operated from the left side of his handlebar. http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p6pb13660936/p5pb13660936.jpg http://www.pinkbike.com/news/hunting-for-gold-xc-worlds-2016.html
  5. Up your #sockgame
  6. Quite an adventure: http://www.pinkbike.com/news/taming-mountains-my-trans-provence-matthew-delorme-2016.html http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p6pb13648207/p5pb13648207.jpg
  7. And his tyres survived that? http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/13033612/
  8. I cant find mention of a 29'er Anthem in any of the articles I have seen so far. That is strange! Can anyone confirm? Edit: I found this: So, why switch exclusively to 27.5″ wheels and grow the suspension? Giant’s calling it “XC Amplified”, but the numbers (and the SX models) suggest it’s becoming a middle ground play bike that’s great for anyone that just rides for fun and might do a race once in a while. Also suggesting this is that there’s no longer an “SL” model, and word from our man in Europe that there’s an all-new 29er full suspension race bike coming later this year. Now it’s all making sense… http://www.bikerumor.com/2016/06/30/2017-giant-anthem-gains-travel-shrinks-wheels-updated-trance-xtc-and-fathom-mountain-bikes/
  9. Mr Robot S02E00 ?
  10. Sorry. I mean to say that I need a Large. (and I was there on Saturday, they didn't have any)
  11. I am in Cape Town and cannot find a shop that has a Large Giro Xar in stock Canal walk is a mission for me to get to for the Fox Flux And so few places stock the Bontrager range IXS is out of stock @ Evo Bikes and I don't know who/where else to try. So, I am really finding it hard to find a helmet to try on before I buy it. Any suggestions?
  12. I am in the market for a new mtb helmet. I don't want a full on enduro style helmet, nor do I want a glorified roadie helmet with a visor. I tried this one on. It really does fit my head well, and was surprisingly light given its apparent bulk. The adjustment worked well and it remained firm on my head after a good shake. It also looks well ventilated with plenty of holes and quite a space between your head and helmet shell, but in so doing makes it a big helmet. To me, it was too close to an enduro helmet because of its size, so I didn't buy it. But at the same time, I am not completely off it either because it fitted so well.
  13.

  14. My son and I took in some of the greenbelts on Saturday arvie
  15. One gains some insight into the character when one hacks around the family tree (on instagram)
  16. 1100 for me too I reached last week's target only because I had to email screen shots of my 3 rides (only which 2 have reflected points).

  18. Awesome looking bikes! Any information on the wheels (rim width)? The Syncros website hasn't been updated yet.
  19. I look forward to Ozzy Man's reviews almost as much as the episode itself https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLk7RtPiJ05L6cnsVLo0sB4LMvNsxT2fxd
  20. I got my points from Saturday's ride, but still waiting for Tuesday's points to be corrected. I get this when I log into the 'vitality fitness devices & apps' page And then when I try and re-link, I get an error message
  21. Things must have been getting out of hand on the Discovery Facebook page if they had to post this: https://www.facebook.com/notes/discovery-health-sa/house-rules/833584636774796
  22. Mountain biker in California crashes into bear: https://www.instagram.com/p/BGpt2a-H3wp/ http://road.cc/content/news/194393-video-mountain-biker-california-crashes-bear
  23. I have mixed feelings about this one: Look 795 Aero 30th anniversary special edition
  24. The haven't sorted out their problem with Garmin. Yesterday's 3 hour ride gets me 100 points for 10 000 steps from S Health again.
