WR 1.0

I'm with Naked and have not had any issues on my previous claim. When in doubt, your policy terms and conditions will dictate in respect of how the item should be insured. If you do not insure for the full value then you are not paying the full premium and the Insurer will prorata the settlement accordingly. From their website: How much should you insure your bicycle for? The golden rule is to insure it for what it would cost to buy new today. If the model of your bicycle is no longer sold, then insure it for the price of a similar one. If it’s custom-built, make sure you’re considering the price of every individual part. You do not own the carbon wheels, your comment state you were testing them. You cannot claim for them from your policy. Your buddy however can claim for them if they are insured on his policy.

I got quoted R1100 (found a guy on FB) to replace the battery on my 320 plus. (a simple 45 min ride drops the battery by 45%).

Actually sound Afrikaans but then he did call me a fkn boer so there goes that theory

Post on FB for a full indoor trainer setup ( Kickr, Headwind, Climb and Desk) Price was R20 000 then changed to R10 000. ( I've flagged it as a scam now) Poster is a Charles Bowen but a Lionel responds with a number to dial. Then the usual " Lots of interest, someone is on the way now, put down a deposit, ect" starts. Supposedly stays in Weltevreden Park. When I said I'm 5 min away just give me the address, lots of swearing followed. Number involved: 083 483 3801 ( Truecaller shows as Lionel Plett. Tent April)

If you can live with the odd 2 gig download ( mine is showing I need to download 6 gig's of content) This just after I installed the app again on my new phone

You are right, and it doesn't seem that the Garmin app is available on Huawei store

If the Huawei runs on Android, can you not install the Varia app on the watch?

Morning Does anyone have some real world feedback on these lights? Based on reviews the battery life far outshines the Garmin UT800 ( and it has more lumens) It does show that it can only integrate with Garmin Edge 530 and up but I'm assuming that's only for the control from your head unit and all other functionalities will still work fine ( auto dimming, etc)

Slightly off topic but still Disco related: Anyone else seeing huge increases on the Discovery Insurance premiums?

Here is the age breakdown

Previously I've sung the praises of the Decathlon strap and monitor. The second (or third) Gen currently available has let me down. Constant HR drops. I've changed batteries which solves the problem for about a week before it acts up again. Picked up the Polar H9 unit last week. Feels a bit heavier (?), but so far no issues, seems much more stabler than others I've used

Been toying with the idea of a tandem for a while now. What is the "correct" age to start the young ones on a tandem. Twins are almost 7 & half, and this could give us some riding together time.

I've been using the Decathlon HR monitor for a while. Much cheaper than Garmin and Wahoo and it's Ant + and BT. They upgraded the units last year or the year before. I've only had issues once the battery is close to done

Emails incoming with seeding

Supposedly via the Portal...

Just couldn't get it to work tonight. Woosh would just bomb out after 5min. After the 3rd time I called it quits. Tried Rolla but it wants me to download some or other app to do a virtual ride..... Couldn't find Rolla world or whatever it's called in the Android app store. The Rolla screen reminds me a little of pictures of the Karoo (the cycling computer obviously) screens......

I run Woosh on my Android ( Note 9 using Android 10). I do get some buffering and graphics issues every now and then. Issues: Sometimes I'll be in the middle of a ride and it will bomb out. If you then go into the app again, it will show the ride and allow an upload, but then you have to start over again - stupid if you were halfway through one of their challenges. I can't listen to music off the phone while riding. I would usually start the music, then start Woosh. Ride starts and 1-2 min later, the music will stop ( at the same time the Garmin will show Phone disconnected). If you try and go to music to start it again, yes, you guessed it, Woosh stops and you have to start again. Going to try and find a second hand tablet to use on Woosh so I can have my phone to myself again 🙂

Myself and another dad was discussion some of the bikes we see at the schools series up here in GP. You can clearly see who is there for fun, and who means business. Interesting also, is that in the Sub Nipper class, the bikes vary from 14 to 24", I'm sure there's even some small 29rs in there. My 7 year old, currently on a 20" Titan, had a go on the spare 24" we have but it is still a little big, stopping is definitely a challenge. Also, he doesn't seem to bother with the 7 speeds gears on the 20", but rather set and forget and rides it like a single speed

I had the opposite experience. Bought it but couldn't get it to work properly with my son. He kept leaning sideways and I couldn't get it tight enough on my seat post, even with a few layers of tubing to protect the post Probably user error but still something to keep in mind. I sold mine again within a month of buying it.

Naked is backed by Hollard ( as is Cyclesure). Had my car insured with them and had no issues when I wrote it off in April. to the OP, I'm assuming you are with FNB Insure ( direct) adn not through their Brokerage? The Brokerage places business with Santam and Hollard ( and others off platform). Or approach another broker ( corporate brokers such as AON, Indwe, ect usually has good offerings) , there are others that support cycling ( just look at some of the sponsor logos on the pro's kits - Efficient Insure, TIG, etc)

Jut a thought, Ant is saying the knobblies is sketchy, and everyone is now suggesting slicks or semi slicks? Won't he have even less grip?

That gent might have been me. Both tubes I had, had leaky valves. I had 2 Gents offer me bombs and another a tube. If you were one of those, I owe you a beer!

Nope. You can't. Not sure if you can still enter online

Your policy probably states under the General Conditions ( those apply to all sections of your policy) that the company will indemnify you via, " repair, replace or pay cash or any combination there of" the scratches will be hard to prove that it was as result of the theft - so that might be excluded. The first option will be to repair the crack

What to do next....... Following emails and WA's back and forth for the last week, the entry is now finally showing in my name. But they have clearly just replaced the 6 years old info with mine as the seeding was still in KK. I asked for a reseed and got the "request declined" message now. The whole issue is due to their system issues and not my fault. Do I know fork out extra cash and try to get into an earlier group via a charity batch? (any suggestions)
