    I still can not believe Philip Buys is not going to the Olympics... He took a shower before Alan crossed the line at nationals.

    Good to know! Apple's share is probably the biggest inflator on the in app pricing.
  3. Christian van Zyl
    I agree, it is quite a premium price. You get a 60 day premium subscription with your ELEMNT, but it might only be enough to get you excited. I guess Strava has bills to pay too...

    I disagree... If you're passionate and in touch with your brand you will have the correct answer. I can guarantee they have mentioned the 820 as part of their road map months ago. It's not Apple, it's Garmin. DC Rainmaker spoke about this product a while back.

    Speed sensors is best for speed and virtual power algorithms on indoor trainers when you IDT does not have power or speed sensor.

    ICASA submissions must be made by a company registered in South Africa. All Bluetooth products must carry this certification and 2.4GHz is not unique. It is quite some paperwork and you have to submit certain design drawings... Most companies do not like this. With ICASA currently on strike applications are taking much longer... Unfortunately we have to deal with them much more than we want to.

    Most trainers now come with a Through Axle adapter for easy set up on MTBs.

    Sweet setup mate.

    No, I do not think so.

    Graphics are great on a Mac. I use my Macbook Pro, HDMI cable into the TV. Nice big screen. If your mac is close you can use the keyboard to do some cool tricks on Zwift like change the map around, view change and even elbow a rider that passes you

    Yes, you need an ANT+ stick. You get one from SUUNTO and Garmin. The SUUNTO one is much cheaper.
  12. Christian van Zyl
    ZWIFT, Awesome! We should organise a PainCave SA ride.
  13. Christian van Zyl
    I use the SUUNTO ANT+ dongle. The best priced unit on the market, and they offer good support when needed.
  14. Christian van Zyl
    I do... Love it every time!
  15. Christian van Zyl
    Cool bike!

    Hey Pieter, Do you have a trough axle on your bike? If yes, I would have look at something that is compatible.

    I buy MECER screens from MUSTEK, they're not a TV, so no licence required. They have HDMI so you can still use it for DSTV and ZWIFT. Think they sell for around R4,500. Bargain.

    I use ZWIFT... I need to add that I'm a typical weekend warrior. ZWIFT to me is like the "Call Of Duty" for cyclists. I just enjoy the fun aspect and how it challenges me. Oh... and having 3 kids, I can pause and change a nappy, get back to ZWIFT and just enjoy the rest for my ride.

    Winter is coming... What does your pain cave look like?
  21. Christian van Zyl
    If anything they will be out in a week... We need them to actively patrol the area.
  22. Christian van Zyl
    Absolutely... Healthier people will simply cost insurance companies less "risk".
  23. Christian van Zyl
    I haven't tried it... Should be fine.
  24. Christian van Zyl
    You can do your workout on the Wahoo Fitness App. You can from there send the workout to both Strava and Garmin at the same time. Works like a charm!
  25. Christian van Zyl
    The Wahoo TICKR is both ANT+ and Bluetooth. Best value for money coming in at under R1000
