A hard shell container that fits in one of my bottle cages which my rain cape/jacket nicely fits in. Hate the bulk in one of the back pockets. Was tipped by another BF member about it on Amazon. Thank you

I will not be getting them for a number of weeks, but yesterday, I ordered a set of Hed RA Performance disc wheels, plus the QR set up. I have been looking at wheels for awhile, was leaning towards Campy Zonda disc, but kept going back to the Hed website. I used a coupon from Hed for $100 dollars off. The wait time is stated as 6 to 8 weeks and I am ok with that. I cashed in my change jar mad money, which covered 2/3 of the $665 final cost. l could have purchased a new box spring/mattress set, which I need, but it was my mad money, the wheels won!
well hello there

New Cycliq Get 3 Fly 6 rear LED/camera. The last one lasted ~3 years until a small semiconductor burned out and the whole thing had a seizure. Not great for a >$200 piece of kit, but then it went on every ride, rain or shine, and took an awful lot of road crap in the process, so maybe 3 years is reasonable. The LED on these is very bright, and the camera excellent, with decent battery life (>4h) and video looping. Actually used it on the first day out when an SUV buzzed our group. We got the tag#, and I'll be sending the footage and the details to local law enforcement - possibly a futile gesture, but we have to try.

In case you’re looking for an under saddle mount, I got a Cycliq to Garmin adapter from shapeways.com. I also bought a pair of generic under saddle Garmin mounts from Amazon so I could easily swap it from one bike to the other.

Usually I’ll lay my bicycles down in the bed…
Bed was full of water from last night’s rain…I saw this at the new bike store, “Boss Cycle and Locksmith”, that I had visited a couple of times…

Two XOSS G+ computers and up front mounts for our Trek Verve 2s. The bikes are on order and won't be in until November 😞. I don't need map capability, just want a basic device that will connect with cadence and HR sensors and save ride data.

Continental Speed King 26x2.2 tire. Speed King for the rear tire and Race King for the front is quite the dynamic duo for our local trail system. 😊

In the past I have used clipless, used clips and straps more than clipless, and wanted to try Power Grips on a new to me Schwinn Peloton, New MKS Sylvans and the Power Grips arrived Friday, installed yesterday. It was only a short ride today but am really grooving on the Power Grips. MKS pedals are MKS pedals... no surprise there as I always go MKS.

I just got a new 105/SLX chain and I'm pleasantly surprised to see it has a quick link and not a pin. When did they start that?
