Reme Le Hane

Full comprehensive, no point getting anything less. It’s lower than my previous insurer, but never come close to paying what some peeps are mentioning here. Think my highest was like 200 odd for my last bike which was 80k

Holy shot that’s expensive, I have 1 bike worth more than those 2 combined at 125k fully insure for R166. What on earth is OS smoking.

I have one that I am pretty sure is 25mm. If you near Somerset west you can have it. Came off my silverback

That actually makes perfect sense to me, I’d never have expected that to fall into discounted stuffs

It’s all about promoting good, manageable debt, what’s a better and more manageable debt than an exorbitant credit card… /s Personally I have very high limits, have not gone close to them and have only ever spent what I could afford, it was a rewards credit card, not a source of unlimited finances.

Where are you, I walked in and out with my watch just last week.

You can’t activate the benefit without it.

First half of the peg wall, home workshops really coming together now.

I know someone who has already tested, Garmin chest strap I think it was, started a workout, got his HR up to 80% in like 2 min, took it off and sat down with a beer. Apparently because it had no data, it assumed your HR never changed so you maintained the 80% avg for the 30 minutes that he let the workout run for, and got his 300. I presume by now that’s been fixed.

Where is your HRM? That’s actually all they care about, as long as the HRM data is being sent with Garmin then you are golden.

For sure, I must give Woolies a try, I know what brands I like, and I do like trying new ones, but not a Kg at a time. I prefer the small bags purely so that I can rotate. Lol

First one

That actually depends on the coffee and is more applicable to the every day rubbish you get at the grocery store. Your higher quality coffees have a longer shelf life and can even taste better after settling for a while. The first few days/weeks and sometimes even months are their settling phase during which the flavor can vary. These will usually taste possible better or at least more consistent between days if allowed to settle. I have found that Terbadore has a good shelf life, I usually buy 6+ 250g bags, my last order was 12. They never taste old, and I have actually tasted old coffee. Tastes miff. The guys like Merkarva, 18 and Balance are likely to be the same, you’ll find the mass produced ones will probably go old faster as they have a more rushed roasting process, hek they probably burning it right then and there.

The 6 months is repeated fault, and in you have taken it in now, and get it back repaired and it happens again within 6m of them having returned it to you.

True, but based on what they describe one would expect only some of it to be crap, like which item was the “premium” item?

That was this morning no power to machine to take the bean to the cup…

I went through all the phases, instant, filter, nespresso, aeropress, plunger, bean to cup. Sure aeropress is nice, but I don’t have 8 minutes to sit and grind coffee, boil water, let it steep and then slowly plunge, and to be honest even after all that my bean to cup tastes infinitely better and the machine did not cost 30k. A quality machine that can make quality coffee does not need to cost a fortune, quite frankly there is more to do with The Who and how than the actual tool. I’ve gone into a coffee shop with a 200k+ coffee machine and tossed it in the bin cause it made frisco seems like a good idea. So sure maybe that dude needs a 30 grand machine to make coffee, or maybe he just needs to learn how to use normal people tools. I get an absolutely stunning cremé head on mine, one that even rivals that of my local coffee shop, a good non bitter, non burnt smooth flavor all for not 30 grand.

You clearly still think Koffiehuis is coffee.

If you near Stellenbosch you can taste it at Hellsend Bike Compound at their coffee shop

We have soo many options I pick random ones every time I need to top up, Merkarva always being a great option if I realize too late.

That’s the whole reason I don’t shop there, tried it twice and it was a las, waiting for a reply only to find out there is no stock on sale and being offered more expensive stuff, it felt a lot like a bait and switch scam. If I go only to buy something, it’s to buy it, not to hope to maybe find out in a few days if I can possibly, maybe get it. They would literally be my last stop, I would sooner drive to all my LBSs than deal with them as driving is less of a las, at least when I get to said shop I get a yes or no.

Eina, which rock was that?

I used to do that, not sure how I ever stopped but I literally went through 2 to 3 watches a year until back the I splurged and got a GShock and other than a few dings and a dead battery it’s all good, think it lasted almost 12 years. My fenix actually looks pretty good but it is the replacement unit so only a few months old.

Friend and I had a good discussion as we both agree with the visual, however at the end of the day it’s first a smart watch and you negatively impact usability and user experience with making it round, it actually removes a massive amount of space for for information and related interactions. At the sun, I would rather have it more useful and more issuable than more round.

It gives VO2, not O2, very different functions. 02 came with the 6 series. That’s a hardware feature that cannot simply be patched into the 5 series. Personally if I did go Apple I would get an Edge, been waiting a larger display for the bike for some time, the watch is less convenient for seeing things on rides, but having a 5x makes justifying one tough. I have just had this replaced for a dead battery with an OOW cost of like 4K. So in like 18 months time or so when it dies again then I’ll get the like 8 Series Apple and a mid range Edge along with the Polar Oh1. For running and every day use the Apple, especially by then would be far more useful, and will be perfect for the daily gym session and once a week 5k run.
