  1. JURA = EVERYTHING a coffee snob would ever need. +1
  2. Awesome The price on the snap is actually R1,000 less than the RRP on the Bushido. Given the seamless software perfection Wahoo achieved with its open API I think you should lean towards the SNAP. The electromagnetic flywheel is also a great bonus on the SNAP.
  3. The KICKR Snap pricing is confirmed for South Africa, R11,999 I think it is a competitive price compared to the other trainers in the market. What are your thoughts?
  4. Christian van Zyl, New to the Hub, fairly long in the industry. I'm trying to build a business in a tough market and industry called buycycle.co.za Looking forward to meeting more Hubbers along the way.
  5. Hi Kom, To answer you on some of your comments. - The electromagnetic flywheel on the KICKR solves the "rotating mass" issue that you're referring to. The weight on the flywheel is made to simulate this very accurately. Your setup on the KICKR is more natural than most trainers where you require a block to compensate for height. When setting up your KICKR you can choose your frame size. - The RFLKT+ battery in the unit lasts up to two years due to the fact that it uses Bluetooth LE. This has the same effect on your phone and hardly uses any power. When using apps like Strava, the RFLKT+ simply reflects the data from the application. The power hungry part is you phone using GPS, but with your phone's home screen "locked" your phone should outlive you on a ride. Cheers!
  6. Hey Skinnyone, The price will only include the trainer. TICKR and Blue Speed and Cadence sensors are sold separately. We also have training matts as an optional extra.
  7. We've been playing with the new KICKR Snap at the offices the past month and it feels amazing. What we liked what the minimalism, the ease of set up, it is very quite and most of all I think the magnetic flywheel sell it. It feels realistic. I'm not a road cyclist at all, but Jason in our offices seems to like it a lot. The estimated pricing is set at R12,999 If anyone is in the Pretoria and would like to have a look at it, let us know. We only have one unit in the country at the moment. ETA on the fist shipment is September/October.

  10. Hey Chris, An interesting point on the Wahoo HR Belts. The new Family of TICKR belts have both Bluetooth LE and ANT+ built in, so you can hook up your smartphone (iOS and Android) and you watch (SUUNTO, Garmin, Bryton) at the same time. Entry Level TICKR belt retails for R899
