Rimbrake FTW !! Just open the caliper and continue your ride

With loads of rain expected for the weekend, I decided to put in the hours today. Started off with some mist and a light drizzle, and end with some wind and a lil more rain. AssSaver saved the day. Late start at the office but who cares when you your own boss !

why would you need a quick release bottle cage ?

Sorry but I don't want my number on an open forum for scammers and spammers. While it may make things easier for you, its not ideal in the current world we live in. Anyway if you lose out on a deal because the item is sold already, then you were snoozing... Not the sellers fault. You snooze you loose.

What a morning in Kloof

Easyish solo Saturday grind, from a nice sunrise to thick mist.

Yes shipping costs from the east are about 400% higher vs 2019/early 2020. Freight between the East and USA are alot higher and the lines make more cash on those routes so all containers are moving to the states. Almost a year now with this mess.

If you wont be selling your current mountain bike, then get a road bike. You have best of both worlds. Regarding the brand, no idea what it is. Looks like a brand from Brazil or Aliexpress. What is your budget for the road bike ?

Not really, unless you grab them on special.

1st morning out in 3 weeks, recovering from iron deficiency We have also a fair amount of rain and some crazy wind, so was good to have a lekker sunrise.

Its already been 5 days, you should have had your money back by now. Name and shame, hound him. He needs to refund you NOW NOW !!

This. Had the same issue with the wife complaining about my alarm, so now I have 2 alarms set on my watch 5 mins apart, just in case.

Fatigue, headaches, dizziness, high heart rate and higher resting heart rate, and then almost blacked out during a ride 2 weeks ago. Woke up on the 2nd of Jan, extremely drained out. At first I just thought it was from all the late nights and early mornings, chasing Rapha500 etc. Waited it out a week but did not really improve. Now we think everything is Covid so after 10 days I had a test done which was negative, then off to the doc for bloods. Iron was really low and had to get an Iron IV done earlier this week and now on supps for the next 2 months and will test again. Starting to feel better and just sticking to the IDT for now, doing Z1/Z2 rides just to keep the legs turning.

The part I hate about tracking fitness !! Ran into issues with my iron levels dropping really low, and as a result had to skip any serious training since the start of this year. Now just watching the numbers go down :thumbdown:

Have a good coffee and a banana around 4pm, that should help you out. But if you really want to try a pre-workout, you do get stimulant free stuff so look at those. Might still mess with your sleep but won't be as bad as those loaded with caffeine and other stims.

Yeah for now, until they decide to change it again. 50000 points for single member 100000 points for member + 1 adult

We did our tests on the 29th, and was short 1900 points to maintain diamond. I am fighting with them on the BP measurements, it was in range but they have not allocated the points for it. Now back to gold after like 5 years...

With them allocating points from 2019 due to Covid, it messed up the totals if you were doing well last year and had better results from health checks etc. I also had a problem with a few things, was chatting to them on email but had no luck at all so eventually gave up. Best to log a query on their website, you should get a reply in a day or 2.

Awesome pics, well done !

They are great, have mine for almost 2 years now, and after trying a few other brands these are still my go to
