It would be nice if they did a software update to address this. My garmin shows different colors, orange, red and green. It would be nice orange for approaching, red for collision or close pass, green for clear. Not sure if they could do that or not.

Now that I have a varia I ralrely look over my shoulder at cars approaching. I don’t imagine it would do much good. I’d prolly end up diving off the side of the road for no reason. That’s a lot of bike replacements.

I really dig the bontrager blender system. I picked up another bontrager stem yesterday for the ritchey. I’m starting to become a vain cyclist I guess. I can’t stand having mounts on my handle bars. It looks awful.
The blender system just makes everything look pretty.

You know I am yanking your chain. I would not cut it until/unless you are 100% confident in the fit and also have no plans to sell it.

On my MTB, I don't like the idea of the mount being ahead of the bars, and more exposed to impact. This mount is a spacer under the stem cap that puts the computer over the stem.

With World Champs coming up, the feeds are filled with rad bike checks. I like how Hanna Otto's featured used cranks and cassette (probably lighter that way 
)

pulled a staple out of my rear tire (GP 5000S TR, 30mm, tubeless) and while there was no immediate PSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH it was fully deflated when i came back to it this evening. about 800 miles on it.
spun it around a few times, pumped it up to 40psi... tiny little dot of sealant at the staple location. waited an hour. still at 40 ish. spun it some more, pumped up to 70psi. holding steady. LOVING ROAD TUBELESS at the moment. would otherwise be f'ng around with tire levers and tubes at the moment, wondering if i'd have a ride in the morning or not! fingers crossed, knock wood.

I also like the downtube storage. If that bent guy sees me walking, I'll be the subject of his ridicule even though I have all the usual survival gear. Like having no bag.
