  1. I had this and it was my gait causing the problem. I was running with my left femur /leg in a wider stance - angled slightly outwards from center. Pain went away after I stopped doing that. I now use the cue of knees brushing 2-3cm apart to keep the leg angled correctly. My pain was also on the side of the hip, I hope you get to the bottom of what's causing it.
  2. Duty on bicycles is 15%, not 26.25%. Tariff heading 8712.00.10- "Rate of Duty-General".
  3. Try wetting the heart rate strap /your chest before you go run, it's not reading properly until you break a sweat.
  4. A raver keyboard for lan parties, eh. I've got something similar and keep the lights off 'cos they reflect in the monitor.
  5. That's for the rear, you need this for the front hub (if you have hope pro 2 hubs). Also, you'll need to have your wheel dished as the extra 10mm is added to the drive side, and the rim won't be centre anymore.
  6. You have to tap/thread your fork steerer to fit the edc tool system - and have to purchase the one-up tap to do this. I got the topeak ninja, which ended up not fitting on my spaz. Still looking for an alternative...
  7. The 650b version of that enduro is 65.5. Maybe 29 handles similar with a steeper hta.
  8. I've moved from altras to supernova 9's and find the toe box, at least, is just as roomy.
  9. I have one.
  10. I've had a 5 for about two weeks. It's smaller than the 3. 5x is the same size as the 3. Mini review: Apart from some UI changes, some additional performance metrics, it's pretty much an incremental update to the 3. Not like the big jump from fenix 2 to 3 was.
  11. Trade in deals?

    Are you calling us fat?
  13. I went to a biokineticist at the sports science institute in newlands. They did a functional assessment - pretty much tested strength and movement wrt running. And some video analysis on a treadmill. I think they do shoe recommendations as well - but they'll give you exercises and stretches to correct your running form which is more important imho.
  14. If you can't pump your tubeless up with a footpump, keep adding a layer of tape to the rim channel until you can. The tire and rim just need a tighter fit.
  15. Luckily I'm forced to get an annual permit to commute through Rhodes and around table mountain to work. So Tokai is on like donkey kong.
  16. Flat pedals and a powertap, I'm impressed! Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
  17. Try altra instinct. The only box not ticked is the 4mm drop. I'm so gatvol with my feet I've started cutting my shoes up to get them comfortable. I only get rid of the rigid heel counter (haglunds /achilles bursitis), but Google showed me other folk cutting holes in the toe box for better toe splay, a hacksaw and shoe glue to change drop /stack height. After 6 different pairs of shoes not being what I need, Ima dala what I must. At the moment happy with the altra instinct and superior (minus heel cups). Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
  18. What's the fit like?
  19. I have an Asym i35 wheelset, you're missing this from your cart.
  20. Check out achilles bursitis. An easy tell is that the heel has less discomfort when you aren't wearing shoes.
  21. Die Burger MTB? Gonna be a tough choice... not.
  22. Hope.
