  1. I guess its a good move with many of the Vida's closing down. and M&B Chai tea is good, much better than any of the coffee.
  2. I have another Kauai voucher to give away that expires tomorrow. Send me a pm if you want it.
  3. It may take a few months longer to get to gold, but it's still won't be too difficult. Still lotsa points to grab with online test, fitness assessments etc...
  4. You have to work the system... or know how to. If you were on the high performance option then I'm sure you would have got 600 for that.
  5. nothing really special about their photo's, they just stand and click away which doesn't justify their prices. If they took more time in producing quality, then I would happily pay it. Nice action shots, panning, use of slow shutter etc would be much better.
  6. you may have to log a call or complaint every few weeks, like we have been doing from the start of this active rewards change, but end of the day you will still get the savings.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. I have 2 Kauai vouchers that expire this week. Traveling so unable to use it. Send me a PM if you want them. edit. both gone.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. who's going suffering this weekend ? I plan to be there on Saturday... Will be on a matt blue Propel.
  17. Use what works for your system.
  18. haha yeah I mean take it easy so I don't fall off dead before completing a loop
  19. 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.
  20. I will be there this coming Saturday for some suffering. First time so just going to cruise around there.
  21. I would have been happier with Ultegra. I don't find these Giant brakes to sharp.
  22. Did you buy the bike new ? I would try to get the bike shop to get the brakes swapped for a new model
