  1. I have reason to believe not all hub advisors above understood the question correctly... am i correct to assume the disc brake bike has hydraulic Ultegra (R8020) brakes and cable shifting? The Dura Ace bike has Di2 but is a rim brake bike?
  2. The one I had drained a new Duracell battery in hours... Dave Brown form Bicycle power responded (in last week) to my e mail enquiry to Bicycle power , and directed me to Cape cycle systems as the brand was sold in 2018 to CCS. CCS did not bother to respond to my enquiry to them. My take is : If you have a Powetap hub and it is working - use it. But if you have one with issues - accept there is no support and that is outdated. Move on and get something else... pedal base or Stages etc...
  3. The only reason for the oversized headtube is to save them from another recall due to internal cable routing …
  4. Just be careful on the older Kickr models as Wahoo don't support them anymore.Kickr 1 ;2 and 3
  5. Did a firm ware update successfully on the Axs app. Unfortunately the hub is still not working properly. Believe it is the micro plug that connects the power cap to the wheel. Did get it to work at one stage and then it drained a brand new Dura Cell 2032 coin battery overnight. The red o ring is still 100% and looks new. Sprayed some electrical switch cleaner on plug but no success. See if you search hard and have deep pockets with Aramex global shopper, I can still buy a new power cap, but not worth it - beter to go the Stages route then... Nee wat eks gatvol gesukkel!
  6. So is there a Powertap app on Apple? Thanks for advice!
  7. Powertab G3 hub – no power reading Believe the hub was in storage for a while and firmware might got outdated – wild quest! How do I update firmware on a Powertap G3 hub? It is Bluetooth and Ant+ Battery replaced and can see a green and red light It has no USB port inside where the battery is changed – thus cannot be connected to a PC via USB Phone is picking it up in Bluetooth mode but require an App to link There is no Powertap app on Playstore Poweragent is not working Some say via Rouvy? But I don’t have a subscription and not going to join just to see if it MIGHT work. No success with a Google search or YouTube … Mailed info@bicyclepower.co.za Dave from Bicyclepower directed me to Cape Cycle Systems as the brand was sold to them in 2018 Query logged at Cape Cycle Systems but unfortunately no reply…
  8. I have a 46cm one if you interested. It opens the lungs for better oxygen intake🙃
  9. Sorry I am confused now. Is Buffalo a courier option to select while still buying stuff on AliExpress or a shop / online market like AliExpress? Currently I use Aramex Global shopper for my AliExpress purchases.
  10. No age groups then. just Cat 1 Cat 2 etc.
  11. Could you see the different calipers on his photo before buying it? Assume you used Bikehub pay?
  12. Let's hope the next generation smart trainers will supply power and not consume it. 🤓

  14. No worries - basically 99% of all statements made on Bikehub are source less ... and this is my source less statement for the day 🙃
  15. Don Henley : "For the record, we never broke up, we just took a 14 year vacation" 🙃
  16. Any take on Chris Froome for next year's Tour ?
  17. I am also 189cm or 6'2" Had many Giant road bikes in the past (6) Their XL has always been too big for me. Result was saddle all the way forward - Just have a look at Peak Torque from YouTube saddle position on his Giant bikes... 😬 On the other hand on their size Large I ended up with a huge amount of spacers under the stem and excessive seat post length Currently on 60cm bikes (both Trek Madone and old rim brake Supersix). The geometry on theses bikes is just more in proportion to taller riders in my opinion. anyway enjoy your new bike! looks fast!!!
  18. No matter what the bike fitter tells you. Don't cut the steerer tube yet after first bike fit...
  19. For the breakaway to survive till the end was super awesome ja!!
