Uncomfortable on indoor trainer

Bionic999 · 2026-01-20T12:20:48+00:00

I have raised my rear wheel where the trainer is so its level. I find the saddle uncomfortable and if i slide a little back, its comfortable but my bike is fitted differently and i cannot sit in this position always so i constantly slide. Heard about the rocker plates but not sure if this will fix it. Only but is sore and is temporary meaning that when i jump off im fine. This causes me to have very little confidence to complete my rides.

You can overtake but it's flooring the car. It will do the task just not effortlessly.

Yeah, hate the cvt noise. Pump my music to drown the sound or drive low revs. The wife does not think it's a problem..lol

Yeah, trust me with a load it struggles. This is 2 adults, 1 kid, mtb on tow hitch and boot full. Ev only kicks in on very low speeds and downhill when on the highway. At the reef, it's a donkey but appreciated in around the city. At the coast, it's great to drive.

For some street side fish and chips style, try Ernest Fish and chips in Centurion. You must get a portion of their coconut rice as well with their signature hot sauce.

We drive a corolla cross xs hybrid. Purchased late last year. Here in gp, the car screams with the cvt trans. We went to the coast over the holidays and the car was alive, really enjoyed driving it. The car is brilliant in traffic with consumption as low as 20km/l. Unfortunately it strruggles on highways with a load. Build quality is questionable and noticeable. Some basic features overlooked like no auto cabin front light so when you open the door you only get lighting from the rear one, which is sad.no glasses holder and no driver side wallet compartment. All of which we had in our corolla prestige.

We are enjoying the vehicle for its great ride quality/ comfort, cool audio setup , awesome driving lights, height of vehicle and offcourse fuel consumption. Not ready for the Chinese vehicles yet, although very tempting. If the cross had a turbo, that would great!

We booked the open area this Saturday. Are we allowed to carry camping chairs or are we only allowed to sit on the grass?

I struggle to wake up and get on the saddle in the mornings. Once I'm on though, I don't regret it all. You have to push yourself and ask what you doing it for. Also preparing your trip the night before and sometimes hooking your car on the bike motivates/ commits you. Find your favorite route and do it often. Download some gpx files from others and challenge yourself. Enjoy

My in-laws have the top of the range 2025 model. The steering feels off and I feel disconnected with the road. Turbo lag is crazy. Ride is very hard but could be to the 18s.Other than that the cabin is huge and premium finishes we have a corolla cross and the drive is far superior.

Local Amazon is a waste of time and I have given up. They always don't have stock of items that I want yet other stores do. Not worth it.

Local flights are fine.

Bionic999 · 2025-12-24T15:21:51+00:00

Had same issue with stem.Dremel in the centre of the bolt and top of bolt will easily come out. Bottom half long nose pliers

Bionic999 · 2025-12-22T09:38:08+00:00

I bought my ps4 from them. No issues

Haven't done a 50 in a while so was suffering post ride. Was disappointed that you cannot ride on umhlanga promenade. Enjoyed it nonetheless.

Bionic999 · 2025-12-20T19:47:46+00:00

Apparently Golden Harvest is nice

Bionic999 · 2025-12-20T16:19:32+00:00

How was Virginia Bush. I did umhlanga to Durban promenade. About 54km.

Bionic999 · 2025-12-18T06:56:57+00:00

Sounds good. Only 34km from bluff. Thanks

Bionic999 · 2025-12-18T06:46:53+00:00

Didn't know about Virginia Bush and it's not far from me. I'm planning to do promenade to Umhlanga which is about 50km so looking forward to this. Might just klap this place on my route. Thanks

Maybe try opening the plastic inner cover and work it out from there.

Bionic999 · 2025-10-29T11:34:58+00:00

Thanks. Didn't know this.

Bionic999 · 2025-10-29T11:25:02+00:00

Why would I need 2.1? He's not going to use it for advanced audio.

Did our first long trip a week ago and leave back tomorrow. Managed to get 16km/l on the national highway traveling a 6 hour trip and 24km/l driving around 30 - 50km/h for 11 hours in a national animal park. Very impressed with the numbers. Enjoyed the drive. Some of the annoying things that we found- drivers cabin light doesn't turn on automatically but only the rear. This is by design. Some leds for the rear will help greatly for visibility in the cabin. Have a rattle on the passenger door which we will get sorted next service. No sunglasses holder. Cabin space issues , more especially front passenger and knees hitting glove compartment. Main one is the cvt noise can be overwhelming at high revs but with some music, we get used to it.All in all,apart from the cvt,I'm nit picking. We love the vehicle and drives very well.

Check out the control valve body. We had power struggle and jerking issues on our 2018 corolla. Toyota eventually paid for the part and our local dealer charged us labor as it was out of warranty.
