  1. Where has my bike taken me today? To hospital after smashing a rock with my shin on the Subaru hunter series 4 yesterday. My bike took to me to the finish 9km away after the fall. Know broken bones just soft tissue mess. Swopped the bike for crutches for a little while
  2. Lekker race. The tight rocky ascent at about km26 of 38 was pretty hectic. Nice tho
  3. Thanks. Sorry for the tangent. It's just that the park tool and similar are quite pricey so was interested in what the cheaper versions were like.
  4. Nice. Tangent: what bike stand is that and would you recommend it? Tx
  5. Dunno. Anyone got a gpx file for the needy?
  6. Nice race. Well organised good sign posting and marshaling. And good Copper lake beer afterwards. Well done
  7. Me too. Then mine get corrected prior to the next points tally on the Friday. One set of points per day in my experience Disco and I aren't friends at the moment
  8. Well done to my boet. First timer. Finisher
  9. Are Those The Magnesium Nukes? DMR do something similar too
  10. V12 Pedals. From CRC in UK. All inclusive R1200 delivered to my door. Brilliant http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/mobile/za/en/dmr-v12-flat-pedals/rp-prod118165 I use them with 5 tens stealth rubber shoes. Good grip
  11. Indola. Can get direct from Indola for a tad cheaper than most shops
  12. Did this. Unfortunately the data then shows on Garmin as being from an unknown source. Disco would not accept it. This after numerous emails and calls. Solution: I have removed Disco from Strava and Garmin. I can train in peace knowing that I am not providing Disco and co with free data which they then sell to 3rd parties. My T's and Cs. Smoothies make me fat(ter) anyway. Vitality points already maxed.
  13. Nope. I sent data from Trainingpeaks to Strava to Garmin Connect using Tapiriik. Garmin Connect to Disco. Disco to not accept the data as it's considered to be from an in known source. Have discussed the authenticity of Trainingpeaks data to Disco but they are not at all interested. Solution: If you want the points it's more convenient and acceptable (in Disco's view) to just swipe your gym card 3 times per week to get the minimum points. After that do not upload subsequent points for the week then you required total will not increase either. Basically, 1 swipe for points and the other 2 swipes to collect your weekly smoothies. Pathetic really since some of us are actually exercising but Disco will not acknowledge same
  14. Unfortunately the comment above makes sense... Annoying, Disco are
  15. Cycleops 4x per week. HR with cadence, power and distance all linked to the world accepted Trainingpeaks training software. Unfortunately Disco do not associate (currently) with Trainingpeaks so the data is transferred to strava or Garmin connect and then to Disco. Disco will not honour this because it's 3rd party data and considered unknown source. I have requested comment and justification from Disco to no avail. Perhaps somebody from Disco who is on the forum would care to look into this. No opinion or self experience from the clever okes, just the simple fact and finality from Disco would be nice. So would a 911R... Thanks
