Thanks for sharing. I will look into my cleat position

Thanks for the feedback. Sorry pain is top right of the knee.

I have had 3 bike fitments. I have now started to get pain in my left knee almost from the start of my ride. Right knee is perfect. Any suggestions?

Looking to swop out existing groupset with new Di2. Which LBS is best suited to doing a good job in Gauteng.

I did some research on this and the reviews were not bad but vs Sram and Shimano it does fall a bit short.

I prefer one brand complete groupsets. Don't want to draw attention at all.

100%

When I have searched for Shimano spares it has been hassle free and easy to get my hands on what I require. Cant comment for everyone....

I took the plunge.......I went with Shimano 105 Di2 12spd. My experience with sram on a previous bike and getting spares was a bit of an issue and I find shimano spares are a plentyful. But yes it wont improve anything except ascetics. Thanks for the feedback though appreciate it.

New crank does look far better that the previous one. Shifters are smaller and carbon also.

For all the above what are we looking at roughly cost wise?

Thanks. Didn't even cross my mind so thanks for that. Can I use Ultegra Di2 with current brakes, cassette, chain and crankset?

Thanks for the heads up at Merlin Cycles, the deals are good. It's more of a want than a need.....😄

I know. Too fork out a fair wack in my opinion probably Ultegra or Force would be much of a muchness and like you said the main differences is weight, gear change style and completely wireless vs semi wireless.

I'm looking to upgrade my year old mechanical Shimano 105 12spd hydraulic disk groupset to electronic. Have read various reviews etc... but still not quite sure which route to go. I have a budget so Sram Red, Dura Ace and any Campag is not an option. Options available, SRAM Force/ Rival or Shimano Ultegra/ 105. This may have have been asked before but I couldn't find any thread. Anyone else been in this situation and what are the various opinions out there?

Can someone assist me regarding the origins of Kraft bicycles etc....

Thank you.

Hi. I'm looking to have a minor service and some new components added to my bike. Things like handle bars with internal cable routing etc.... Which shop in the West of JHB or withing a 30 km radius is best?

If this knob is in hiding as a result of the cycling communities rightfully so hatred towards him, he may even consider stopping all cycling activity. He may in fact be looking to get rid of his bike etc.... just a thought. Be vigilant, he must be found.

I just want to acknowledge the guys at Rack & Pack (Thule & Brink Dealers) Beyers Naude Drive. On Sunday I had an issue when my car indicators stopped working as I fitted my Thule bike rack. After receiving the incorrect fuses from Midas on Sunday I thought it best to send it too the dealer as its still under motor plan. Turns out it was just a fuse but was warned that the bike rack or towbar may be the issue. I took the car and rack to Rack and Pack. They were so helpful. Checked all wiring in the car and the bike rack. They found the issue and even made some adjustments to ensure that this does not necessarily happen again. They could have told me to book it in etc.... but they stopped what they were doing and assisted. An hour later and R200 later all sorted and better off than before. If you have a Thule bike rack or Brink towbar these are the guys to deal with. Please support them if possible.

Hi, as mentioned above by LBKloppers we assume your cycling whether it be Road/Gravel/ MTB. I purchased a Suunto Spartan in Nov 2017 because I too had a tight budget. I had endless issues with the accuracy of the wrist HRM functionality. If HRM is important for you then you must look at the HRM strap for accuracy. I have had 3 Spartans replaced because the accuracy was so bad and eventually they upgraded me to a Suunto 5. I still see a vast difference between my Suunto 5 and my Garmin (130) with HR, average HR and even the ascent and descent. I don't use my Suunto to download to Strava at all because of the inaccuracy. Just my 2cents.

Sorry I'm only replying now. Just want to say thanks to all the commnets and advise , really appreciate it. Things have got back to normal, so I put it down to meds potentailly (antibiotics). Thanks again.

Cant be the battery, I'm getting the same readings off another hr monitor. Ive checked settings etc... also all good. I expected to lose some fitness but not to that extent. Just a bout of flu, nothing crazy. Gonna persevere for anothewr week and see what happens. Thanks for the feedback.

Hi, I'm sure this topic or similar topics have been posted but I couldn't find anything. My max heart rate is 172 bpm. Recently I was ill for a 2 week period. I started riding again and ever since I was ill I cannot get anywhere near my max. Right now 145bpm is the best I can do yet my speed etc... over the same distances I have done in the past hasnt change at all. Could 2 weeks off the bike really be the reason? Any advise would be appreciated.
