Cois

I wanted to get on the trainer tonight, but I am one of the few lucky people that received a flu injection this morning. So I am a little drained. But will do a session tomorrow night.

Thanks, but I have a mother of a fan. I just have to adjust it to work. It was a little low.But that looks like something that can move huge volumes of air [emoji23]

I could only do 5km tonight. Started feeling very nauseous and dizzy. Guess my body will take some time to get with the program. Thank you to every one for the support over the past two years. Some days have been bloody bad, but I have a mission and I can’t let everyone on Bikehub down! I have to win this!

Trainer collected. Little on the heavy side, but will be able to manage. Can't wait till the end of today... I wanna go and ride!!!

It is one of the bests of 2021 this far. We really enjoyed it, just because it was not the junk the USA pumps out these days

My wife loves her mushrooms. But mushrooms is a high risk food for me. I can tolerate a bit of mushrooms, but I tend to get very sick from it because it takes a bit longer to digest. So I run a risk of landing in the hospital with every bite. But I must say, you can't make a chicken pie without mushrooms.

A huge thank you to @Muttley for the help in the purchase of the trainer. And Mr Muttley is a huge inspiration for me and someone of note to follow on Zwift. Oh and well done on over 9000 km logged on Zwift Sir Reinet is really impressed.

Just finished watching the last episode of Shameless. When we started watching the series in 2011 we opened our doors to the Gallagher family every week when they were showing. And I must say it is a bit sad to know they will never come to visit again.

The one driving force to stay with Apple in SA is the launch of Apple Pay. ABSA was keen to get me to connect my cards to my phone and watch, and the process was easy and without any trouble. I saw the Garmin had the same idea but never loaded my card onto the Garmin. I have been using the Apple watch since the launch of the Watch 2, the got the Watch 3 (and I am still using it now) and the Watch 6 that died on me. Reinet has the Watch SE and she is happy with it. At the moment I will keep to the Apple Watch 3. Till I can do some homework and get to a place where I can compare the features and find a device in the same form factor. The large screen size is a problem. And the reason I do not wear my Casio G-Shock at all.

Made a purchase today that I hope I will not need to use soon... (but I needed it last month) Got a 2nd hand wheelchair. I really hope I will not need a wheelchair, but I needed a wheelchair twice in the past year. It is not the best chair on the market (Saturn Hercules) but I do follow the old boyscout saying of be prepared! So may I never need the wheelchair. But at least if I loose all the skin on my feet again, I will be able to move at least.

ThanksThey asked that I bring the Scott to the shop for them to make sure it will work with the trainer. I am a bit sceptical about the gear ratio, but I have no idea how my body will react to being on the bike again, so I might dwell in the easier gears.

I got the Tacx Flux S Smart TrainerWas R12500. CycleLab quoted R13999 for the same device, but they do not have stock in Pretoria. Garmin has the RRP as R12999 on their website. So I am glad that HotSpot Cycles had it on sale for R12500.

Took the plunge and got a trainer today[emoji3060] Joined up on Zwift. Will do a quick test ride when I receive the trainer next week. I can’t wait to get on the trainer and get some kilometer on the bike.

The Apple Rings of shame...

Thanks Muttley.Will pop you a PM shortly. Thank you very much for the willingness to help. Means a lot.

Not yet Sir.They should ave it by Wednesday morning. Went to pay for it this morning. They only had a 11-50 10 speed sprocket. So might ask them to swap the cassette of the Scott... unless Zwift has some wicked hills.

Got a trainer. The bike shop that did not have stock will order me one. The shop is Hotspot Cycles in Pretoria. Will pay the trainer tomorrow.

I am addicted to the rings of shame. Think that is one thing that if Garmin had it, it would be an option for me

Okay, another bust. We show stock on our websites, but our website is wrong. So the hunt continues

I might have found a trainer R500 under the price on the Garmin Website.. Not like CycleLab selling the same trainer at R1000 more than the Garmin Website

Thanks. Now I know that little information as well. Will have to do a lot more homework on trainers and the terminology.

Was to late in any case to get the trainer. It has been sold.

I tried to do some reading on ERG mode, but it all is vague in what it does, so I am not sure if it is needed or not. And I could not find English videos on the trainer.

Sorry for only replying now. Had a crap day at the office today.It would indeed be an option. Contacted the seller.

The problem is the curved screen. If it was a flat screen it would not have been a problem, but anything with a curved screen is an issue.Same with the Apple watch, the curved screen made a screen protector an issue, so I got a watch protector that encased the complete watch. Sadly I could not find a body / screen protector for the Garmin at all
