Hi fellow BikeHubbers, Wondering if someone maybe wants to join me early Saturday morning. Will be doing the Tygerberg Hill Trail System. For more info on (time, where to meet, etc) please contact me via PM. Take care. ~ André

Mooi fiets, hou van die colour scheme. Daai blackout Rockshox lyk cool.

RIP.

'Dale, I said it once, but going to say it again: "You got one damn sexy bike!"

Wow! Thanks for the heads up, I see I can buy a screen protector for it here. Will do it later on maybe.

Garmin Forerunner 310XT w/ Wahoo Tickr HRM. http://i.imgur.com/M2EAJMX.jpg http://i.imgur.com/p13esnS.jpg Quick test run (click here) Super impressed with it! Love Garmin Connect, so much detail, and the interface is very cool. I actually ditched Strava now and this will be my main tracker going forward. Perfect for my needs and did a morning jog too, so I love the versatile of it. Still need to test out the Wahoo HRM, but that's for another day. Off topic question, but does anyone know how I can share my results to BikeHub through embedded code? I tried to figure it out. I only want to show that image in the link. I don't want a link for it. EDIT: Forgot to mention that I love the weather widget with the results, now I can see how warm it was (and the wind speed) on that specific day.

Beautiful pics Veeez.

My dad and I are planning to build one this month, so super excited. Will it be able to stream the Absa Cape Epic?

Hi The Flying German, As an amateur photographer myself, I would suggest from my point of view to go secondhand. You will be able to save a lot of money and will be able to save that money for a better lens going on. As for my gear, I use a Canon 1200D. I got it secondhand with the following included: (*) Canon EOS 1200D including a SanDisk 8GB 40mb/s + Canon camera bag (*) Canon 18-55mm DC Lens (*) Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG Macro Lens (*) Metz 36 AF-5 Digital Flashgun (*) Manfrotto Tripod (with ball head) (*) Monopod All for R5000. Yeah, I know it is secondhand, but you will be astonished how robust DSLR cameras are, so do not be afraid to buy it secondhand. What I basically did before buying the camera was: 1.) Firstly the condition of the camera itself. 2.) Confirm that it was in a working condition. 3.) Check shutter count (basically the most important one, I would say). 4.) Lenses, by shining a bright light through lens seeing for dark spots. If it is clear, you A-for-away. But you should also Google what to check when buying a DSLR secondhand, there would also be great tips which I missed. Another thing you should check is dust on the sensor. Do not panic, it is not the end of the world. So, how to check it is easy. Aim for the sky (with manual mode on the lens) and set your aperture to the highest possible. Preferably check the image on a computer and if you notice black dots, you know your sensor is filthy. Go to your nearest camera store to ask them to clean it. Luckily for me Orms Bellville is near me and they do the service for free. Other than that, you are sorted. As for brands, Nikon's lenses tend to be more pricey, so just keep that in mind when buying. I was on my way to buy a Nikon, but that Canon deal was more worth it (in terms of price and what I was getting). If you have any other questions, feel free to PM me. I am more than happy to help you out! And remember, Google is your friend. Good luck and happy shooting,

Haha cool video!

Doing my first commute tomorrow for the entire year. Compares nothing close to the commuters here on this thread. Learn from the thread to get my stuff ready before morning, which I did. I am talking about school commuting haha, only 1.4km away (so 2.8km in total), but I am just happy I can use my bike to go to school (puts me in a better mood). And when I had a hard day, I can pedal it out going back home. http://i.imgur.com/TCdjajb.jpg

Yeah, about that... I needed to sell something. Thanks man! Really amped to go ride this weekend again, same track/route. #wheelerdealer

@andreas17777 Nice!

Okay cool, ended up buying the Sunrace 11-42 cassette. Thanks for all the feedback guys.

That's an awesome gift! I watch BKXC videos and he loves his. He uses it everytime.

Oh snap! That's a option. Thanks for that.

Hi JXV, I ride a Scott Scale 940 (29er). Yeah, it was quite tough... But can I blame my fitness maybe too? Atlas I do not climb so often and need to work more on it. My dad just mentioned it to me last night. I wish 2 x 10 was my cheapest option, but now it is looking to be a new chainring up front because I need to pay my friend for the two chainrings + labor cost. But will definitely start saving for a new cassette and will switch back to my 34T then. Let's say 1 x 11 only a dream for my current income (pocket money). Thanks for the advice bud.

Exactly my thought. But my legs... Not recovered yet, so will do the same route this weekend with fresh legs.

Very interesting, because I am still deciding between the 30T or 32T. Will keep this in mind. Going to borrow a 30T today and test it out.

Thanks for all the feedback guys. If I cannot get right by my friend with the chainrings, I will go with the 30T, otherwise 2 x 10 will by the way to go.
