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
Nice, tinfoil hats coming in handy these days...lol
Always handy to keep a few spare.
Based on the "if you are not paying for a product - then you are the product" rule, this is like stated before, a cleverly surprised mailing list, with added benefit to the companies involved of physical tracking of the person, this can then be related back to products and services in the "area of travel and interaction" of said cyclists.
I'm not buying it. Pun intended.
Exactly why I signed up with a temp mail account. They can email my disposable address all they want.
Well the app itself does not work very well at all, everything under profile is broken. Everything in the store is “coming soon”.
For now it’s really just a shifty ride tracker.
I was bleak to find out at Sportsmans Warehouse today that the Garmin Electrode Strap does not qualify for the 25% discount
That actually makes perfect sense to me, I’d never have expected that to fall into discounted stuffs
I also struggle a lot with the bank rewards. Vitality? Yup, get healthy, makes sense. Insurance? Yup, drive better makes sense. Bank? Spend more, huh!?
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.
so just to confirm that I have succeeded in this regard by "being forced" to migrate to Discovery Bank and await another NEW Card, and as would be the case about availability -
the IStore have taken my details as NO WATCHES ARE AVAILABLE due to a 2 - 4 week waiting list
Where are you, I walked in and out with my watch just last week.
I think so.
You can’t activate the benefit without it.
which kind of sucks as it mean removing your mask in the shop.
For those who go all in, OS 14.6”5 with WatchOS 7.4 will enable watch unlock for when a mask is detected.
It should roll out soon, they at public beta 6 for both.
First half of the peg wall, home workshops really coming together now.
Year pass at Jonkers (4 people) = R700
Year pass at Wannabees + Helderberg = R1100
Year pass at Helderberg = R700
Other trail centers like Tygerberg, Oak Valley, etc also in that price range.
No restrictions on time, and quality of trails are much better (maybe with the exception of Wannabees).
What a joke with those prices. Why would anyone pay that? Are they offering anything that actually justifies those costs.
They targeting the guys that can afford the 200k spez bikes and want a noddy badge trail ride to go with it.
Those have always been the ridding restricted times, and one could always join. Used to be managed by one of the bike shops up until last year where it was R700/year but no day passes of any kind.
Personally I felt even the R700 was a bit much given the restrictions, the inability to ride alone and lack of trail markings. It’s a nice trail but it’s not actually anything special. I’d slap it square in the middle of wannabes and oak valley.
Thanks! Yes I will be wearing a HRM ;-)
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.
Will this work, yes or no?
Zwift Cycling Account - Linked to Stava and Garmin - Garmin Linked to Vitality.....will I earn points towards weekly goals?
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 me the sweet spot is a max of 3 weeks after roasting. I don't claim to know a heck of alot about coffee, so that's just a preference thing for me.
The Woolies at Waterstone has a roastery with a few beans to choose from, the Kenya AA Blue Mountain is my favaourite (this is not the prepackaged Woolies stuff).
As for Merkava, ok in a pinch, but hell their coffee is burnt.
Anyway, this all kinda points to the ridiculousness of putting a kg of coffee beans into a bag when people's taste / preference, and even coffee making equipment they have available to them varies so much.
This lucky packet thing will fail in 6 months if they don't deliver at least what is promised (and even then it's a gamble).
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
I am trying to understand how this works....
You pay R498 for 3 months and then get 1 (ONE) box after the 3 months for a total price of roughly R1500?
Or
You pay R498 and get 1 box after each month that you pay like a normal subscription box?
First one
and even then I don't buy more than 500gr at a time otherwise it gets old before I can use it.
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.
hope it is a new device and not a refurbished unit or being fixed.
The watch still falls under the CPA of 6 months.
If the charge me all hell will break loose. Just sucks as I am at a very bad time of my treatment. I need some of the functions of the 6. Including fall detection as I passed out a few times due to the medication I am on. Just glad every time happened at home. But if I am site, I need my wife to be notified that I fell and that she would be able to contact my office to send help
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.
Don't know what you expected. Lucky packets have traditionally been a load of crap
True, but based on what they describe one would expect only some of it to be crap, like which item was the “premium” item?
You have yet to reach the best phase, non bean to cup machine
That was this morning no power to machine to take the bean to the cup…
The problem is that every person is unique and they don’t all have the same taste in a specific brew method. So your idea of what is the perfect cup of coffee might not be the same for another person. For some people, they enjoy dirty dish water, aka instant (chicory) coffee, whilst others enjoy filter coffee, or espresso, or a bean to cup, etc. Doesn’t make their choice right nor wrong.
Someone can spend >R30k on a machine if the budget allows it. Will they? Your answer and my answer and another’s answer won’t all be the same.
It’s the same as a weekend warrior that buys a R100k bicycle. Will they be faster than the person that trains 15+ hours a week and rides a R30k bicycle? Probably not, but if the bike gives them satisfaction riding it, then good for them.
What I do like though, is having a variety of methods of making coffee, and finding out which method gives the taste that is enjoyable.
Your Aeropress “method” is very similar to what David (Truth) mentions with the Clever drip method - do I like it? Not as much as other methods.
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.

I do agree, the 34 on the front is just to small, i was actually thinking of getting a 36 or 38 tooth for the front.
Nino rides a 38, go for that.
Just make sure you have a Clutch type derailer, it helps a lot with Chaindrops.
I wore mine out, they say it was the oval, the internet’s however torn on that. #Shrug
Bike Insurance - What works best?
in The Bike Room
Posted
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
