    Arrived in JHB last Friday morning. Woke up on Saturday with a scratchy throat, then Monday with a head cold. Blocked nose , ears etc... Throat is feeling good again, nose gets blocked at times but generally better. Back to Durban on Sunday and I hope this bug stays behind.

    I gave both the rollers and tyre a wipe down with thinners. Did some intervals in slope mode up to 380w and it seems to be fine. Will have to try it out on a route or in Erg mode to make sure all is fine. Thanks all for the tips.

    cool, will give it a wipe down now and have another go. not good to hear... I had the fluid2 before this and could get a much better session in. Used the powerbeam twice now and it also frustrated me so just packed it up. But there must be a solution to this. Will give the guys at BicyclePower a call tomorrow.

    Thanks, will maybe have to get a trainer tyre. I have adjusted the tension knob a few times and tried different tyre pressures also as suggested from some other posts online. Still no luck.

    I recently purchased a used Powerbeam pro, and experiencing some tyre slip when putting down the power. Anything over about 260w or a 6% gradient on a route and it starts to slip. What can be done to solve this ? Will a trainer tyre help, I am using a old gatorskin at the moment.

    I got 600 for 56km at Suikerbosrand on Saturday and 600 for a 65km at Cradle yesterday. The high performance option works well for me.

    What an awesome place to ride !! Didn't push too hard so it didn't hurt like hell, but now I can understand why you guys keep going back for more. First timer, did it in 2:58, is this average or poor ? Met some cool guys from standerton and rode about half the loop with them, helped take the mind away from the pain.

    Looks fast too. But that's where "fast" ends. The engine is running a very mild tune and doesn't have the performance to match.

    who's going suffering this weekend ? I plan to be there on Saturday... Will be on a matt blue Propel.

    Use what works for your system.
  14. Veebee
    haha yeah I mean take it easy so I don't fall off dead before completing a loop
  15. Veebee
    I haven't received a mail yet, but don't think I am going to do it so will let you know if I do get in.
  16. Veebee
    I will be there this coming Saturday for some suffering. First time so just going to cruise around there.

    I would have been happier with Ultegra. I don't find these Giant brakes to sharp.
  18. Veebee
    Did you buy the bike new ? I would try to get the bike shop to get the brakes swapped for a new model
  19. Veebee
    These are the 2016 brakes.
  20. Veebee
    I'm running 25mm gators on my 2016 Propel Adv 0 and have no issues with the cables running. I think they have installed a new style cable holder on the newer models. Will take a pic in a bit for you.
  21. Veebee
    What's the easiest way to get in and where do you park ? Never been there before and don't know the area well at all. Will be coming from Centurion so probably best to use the N3 ?
  22. Veebee
    First week on the high performance category and I racked up 1950 points. I did have a busy week on the bike though but for me this still seems to be the easier of the 2 options.
  23. Veebee
    Yip PPA members got in. we just have to wait a bit longer
  24. Veebee
    From sounding very good it starting to seem dangerous... Anyway I will be in Jozi next week and will try this out on the 4th.
  25. Veebee
    I'm keen to try it out. Will be in Jozi first week of September so will give it a go then. Just going to be a trek out from Centurion. Can someone share a strava/gpx file for the full loop please ?
