is the best one the ADZ climb or the Ventoux one?

Top freeloader tip from me. To make best use of those free 25kms do your rides on the Ventoux. I managed 3 free workouts using that method last month. I'm paying for Zwift from this month till probably August. Doing a little program to keep myself committed.

For me if you want gamey, Zwift is much better than RGT. Free RGT was fine for the summer for when the SE humps for a week but I'm too tight to pony up the $17 a month for Zwift when I'd much rather ride outside, or surf, or run, or maybe wash the dishes. Top tip. You can join events and ride other people's magic roads as part of the freebie. The free workouts are limited but ok. I really wish Zwift would do a family option like Rouvy. $17 is too expensive IMO.

Ok so 20 minute round trip on that beastie? I pretty much like 1 type of bike. Race replica superbikes. But a Triumph Rocket is a special thing. What possessed them to put that motor into a motorbike is beyond me but I'm glad they did.

I've never understood why DSTV advertises DSTV to people who are already DSTV subscribers. That's like me constantly telling my wife how big or not so big my man bits are. I'm pretty sure she already knows. While we are talking pay vs not pay. The one service I'm paying for which I'm MORE THAN HAPPY to pay for is Youtube. R109 a month. 6 Family members. No adverts YT Music Downloadable playlists YT music (ad free)

It's because your wrist is not straight and that pinching of blood pipes messes up the reading of wrist based HR. I've had exactly the same issue with both Suunto and Garmin forerunner 45. If you're cycling it's best to get a HR strap.

Thought it was just me. @the OP I have a Garmin Forerunner 45 which is pretty much the cheapest HR/fitness watch you can buy and I'm very happy with it. Apart from the hassle of having to reconnect every time I want to sync. I got it for R2999 on takealot. You can get it for R2699 on Cape Union Mart. IMO buying a used fitness watch is like buying a used Golf GTI. You might get lucky but you probably won't. https://www.capeunionmart.co.za/products/garmin-forerunner-45-watch/1550860100001.html?gclid=CjwKCAjwsJ6TBhAIEiwAfl4TWMCwVlujH7v_JHUV48Wsyh4wQK1fPX4Ymt1Zd6OC0Vyaiqvv-4OesBoClNsQAvD_BwE

Yeah. They are talking production capacity in the thousands and the guy in the youtube clip hinted very strongly that the investors behind the project have very deep pockets and aren't looking to be conservative. If even half of his claims come true they are going to be a major disruptor in the motorcycle space. If they've got a motor and battery that has decent range and power there is no limit to the applications they can drop it into. Commuters, Moto, Mini Superbikes. Imagine an 80 BHP road going motard based on that thing. I truly believe that the real future for EV's is 2 wheeled. Honda Cubs move WAY more people around the planet than Ford F150's

There's an electric bike coming out soon called the Stark Varg. https://starkfuture.com/products/stark-varg They claim the same range as a 450 with a full tank of gas. And it's fully tunable ITO power. So you can tune it to feel like a 125 right up to a fire breathing monster that makes 80 BHP. I think a standard 450 makes around 60 bhp. And those are hardly lacking in the power department. The bike looks pretty advanced. The test rider has been Sebastien Tortelli Who's no slouch on a dirt bike. I've watched a few vids of the guy who runs the show on the Gypsy Tales youtube channel and they don't seem like a bunch of garagista's

If you want free you can try a thing called Spivi. They run it at my step daughter's gym. No ERG mode so you have to make the power with your gears. I tried it and fir a freebie it's ok. If you run mac you can try mywoosh. It's also free (for now) but only runs on mac.

It's not pretty but it is functional. If you look carefully you can see some wetsuits hanging in the toilet. There's also a bunch of helmet and riding shoe storage in there. Out of sight is a shelf where all the running and dog walking shoes live.

Credibility gone. You have to praise all Hope and Garmin products irrespective of your personal views.

I had a set of Hope V2's. Got them from CRC. I went big with braided hoses and floating rotors. Multiple Alps trips. Many many many full pulls of Pleney. No fade. 0 bleeds. Then I got a bike with Shimano Saints. I have a bottle of mineral oil in my garage.

So serious question time. It's getting to the time of year where we need to start running with lights. We use a light called a Giant Recon HL 500. It's a 500 lumen light that we use for cycling and running. What makes the lights great for us is that they are tiny and they make use of gopro mounts. The mounts for the bikes are so small they literally live on our bikes permanently. Which leads me to my question. My wife runs with a chesty. She's quite slight and the mount and light sort of move around a bit. Last year I would zip tie my light to an old hydration pack but it's time to get a bit more serious now. I'm thinking of taking the chesty for myself and getting her a shoulder mount. Anyone on here run with gopro chesty's or shoulder gizimo's?

Hey! No judgements from me. It's a TCR with a different colorway. I absolutely love this time of year the lovely crisp mornings before the sun comes up are just so special. You really feel like you are getting the jump on everyone else.

This guy knows. Went ANT+ a while back after my laptop forgot it had bluetooth drivers installed and I couldn't reinstall them and I've not had a single dropped connection since.

A fairly prolific (male) poster on this thread was spotted on chappies this morning riding what looked suspiciously like a Liv Langma in a very nice purple. I was pre sunrise and I do have ballie vision and I was bleeding through my eyeballs so I could be wrong but I kinda sorta think I'm not........

I'm so scared of that hill. I'm always super careful going down there. Which is probably actually more dangerous coz I'm likely to be collected one day by some chump who hits his drops with his knee coz he's trying out the Froome tuck for the first time. Ok hijack off.

So how's this? On Suikerbossie they have been trapping every weekend for the last 3 weeks at least (I personally have absolutely no problem with this) But..... There's a clearly visible traffic van close to the top which looks to me like it's a decoy. Coz the actual trap is much lower down. 😄 They have also been having regular road blocks. Funny thing is when they see my Malinois's head out the side window I get waved past.

You're looking at it backwards. The laws are only enforced on those that will comply. Like when riot police descended on HB beach to stop people from walking on the beach. Those same riot police are strangely absent when there is an actual riot going on.

For me the advantage of a Zwift type product is that it's on my bike in my garage in my time. So this would be a hard pass for me. When you try to push it into a class environment it will lose a lot of what makes it good. and the whole let's ride together idea flies out the window cos Fris Chris pumps out 6 watts per kilo and I put out 2.5 watts per kilo. So even if we do the same power based workout I'll only see him at the start. Plus if you read their terms of service they are fairly specific about not using the service commercially. There is a gym specific thing called spivi (I'm sure it's not the only one) that they run at my step daughters gym. This seems more suitable to a class type environment. It has structured workouts that the instructors run and they throw in their own music. It has a point system and you ride in a little virtual world much like Zwift. The difference seems to be that you ride against your ftp. So if Fris Chris rides at his 6 watts per kilo and I ride at 2.5 we will stay "together". So it's spinning class meets Zwift. Better for that environment IMO. *Edit. I tried spivi yesterday. No ERG mode which is a huge limiting factor. It picks up my smart trainer and HR monitor but you need to use the gears to make power. Your little man rides along in the cartoon and you have to stay between the lines onscreen so keep in the correct power. You can redo classes that have been saved or you can do your own workout. Great for a class environment.

https://www.poobienaidoos.co.za/ Cheap shoes. But don't got to a shop. Get good advice and buy from poobie. That's a dick move

I'd get professional advice rather than put it to a forum. But FWIW. I have a pair of GT2000 8's They are finished so they've been repurposed as trail running, dog walking, gardening shoes. I bought a pair of Kayano 28's which are the more premium support shoe. They run hotter than the GT2000's and the toe box is narrower. Very happy with them but if I could rewind the clock I'd get the GT2000 10's *disclaimer. I run 15-20km a week VERY slowly.

My vote goes to the Elite Suito. Great trainer that folds up nice and small when Summer comes around. I have an Elite Zumo and it's not given me a minute of trouble. * btw no one is going to say I have an xyz trainer and it's total shirt so your entire thread is essentially a survey on market share..
