Tell that to Coolheat who told me my previous 10sp XT chain snapped twice in first 100km because it is directional.and I put it on the wrong way 🙄. Did get it warrantied in the end.

The feature of setting us profile via Garmin Connect in the 540/840 almost makes an upgrade look justifiable. Agree that its just a royal pain to configure profile on the device

+1 for the free options (MyWhoosh or IndieVelo, because Im cheap...) plus some podcasts on Z2/steady efforts. Tried Netflix series recently and that also works for me. If I do a workout I'll swap the podcast for music - whatever gets the adrenaline going.

Regardless of all the segment talk above - Good luck to anyone attempting this. It is a truly monumentous day out and a massive achievement to anyone who completes is. I'm not crazy enough to attempt this again (yet)- 1x half-everesting was tough enough. That said, I know I'll have FOMO on the day and may rock up for a few support laps.

I'm not involved in this Everesting attempt, but have been in a few previous ones and we had exactly the same questions. I mailed them, didn't get a reply, but we went ahead anyway an every one of the participants were recognized. Rules haven't changed, so I'd be surprised if it will be an issue but agree that it may be a good idea for the organizer to try and double check. I can send some sample hall-of-fame activities for verification if you want. (I wouldn't hold my breath though - they didn't respond quickly on email - maybe try Facebook) W.r.t the looks like a loop issue - was also present last year and I also enquired. Feedback back then was that it's a known bug and could be ignored. https://www.facebook.com/groups/everesting/permalink/1644624899367045

The segment is ok. Weve done many recognized Everesting attempts there over the past years. The problem with stopping right at the bottom is that is makes the turnaround dangerous.

Also find it strange that they don't entertain warrantiesm Definitely not my experience, although I had the older Pulse and Amp wheel...not sure if warranty policy is different, but I always experienced great service from Dayle. My Pulse rims (alu) cracked/split and was replaced without issues. When one of the replacements split as well, I got an AMP at a discounted price (I requested the amp rather than another Pulse replacement). So really no issues with support/warranties

Entered! Good marketing from CTCT 😂

Dunno, I took two cokes at the finish. One at first table, finished it while walking through and another on a whim at the last table, so no issues there 🤷

Stupid question... The number of tours on your race number= number already completed? I.e if my race number said "9" tours, I should have asked for a blue one?

Camt you ask someone to tag you on their Strava ride?

+1 on this experience with Garmin Dual and Tickr. Garmin screws either strip, or you overtighen and break off the little plastic thread thingy the screw goes into. Result is poor seal, water/sweat ingress and dead electronics at slme point. Tickr (x2) the clips on the battery lid breaks off easiely, same result, poor seal, moisture ingress and dead electronics eventually. Support from Wahoo under warranty is great though, replaced the unit x2 in a year, but I probably wont go this route again. I've taped over the battery compartment of my last replacement to try and keep water out and make sure it lasts as long as possible. #fingerscrossed

So he'll have to do the solo twice?

Ahhh, missed that. NOU praat jy. Ry terug deur die kloof die week tussenin.
