  1. Zwift works best with a smart trainer. 

    I have find the Tacx Vortex trainer and this would be considered the baseline for an entry level smart trainer. 

    I find the Vortex good value for money and it works. 

    I previously had a Giant indoor trainer and for me i got quickly bored of it. 

  2. Having done a bit of car detailing i was shocked to see the pricing of shampoo's, cleaning equipment for bikes. 

     

    You can use any form of All Purpose Cleaner to clean your chain or bike and it will work.

    My recommendation is that you don't dilute it for your chain. 

    1/4 ratio for your body. 

    Green clean, Shield Blade, etc etc all do the same thing. 

     

    My only recommendation is if you going to use this on your paint work is that you use some sort of polish afterwards to keep the shine (liquid polish, quick detailer spray, etc etc)

  3. Tx for the inspiration

     

    I'm in the polishing phase, how long did it take to do the polishing?

     

    Which compound did you use to get the shiny finish?

     

    I bought the same attachment as you did, however it's gone black and depositing a fine dust on the frame and it requires hard rubbing to remove it, did this happen to you?

     Compound is too remove contaminates and marks from paint. 

    Polish will bring out the natural shine. 

    Wax is to protect your paint and also provide a shine. 

  4. I went back and forth for about a year on the coffee machine I wanted to purchased.

    End of the day it depends on your budget and what you want from a machine.

    For me I wanted something long term that would offer the best coffee extraction I can get.

     

    The Nespresso is great as it's easy to use/clean and offer great variety but becomes expensive long term due to the costs of the pods.

    The bean to cup machine also a great option but from the machines we had in the office they became high maintenance if you want consistently good coffee.

    So a year later I got me the Breville BES860 Eespresso machine from at Home. Costs R5600.

    Took me about 2 weeks to master the skill and get the right settings.

    I'm very very happy with my purchase especially now that i'm the Red Espresso buzz which none of the other machines can do.

    I buy small batches of recently freshly roasted beans from my local coffee shop so now you don't find me that often at Seattle coffee.
