Another vote for a basic wired Cateye. Started using them in college and never felt the need to change. Have a journal where I write down the mileage at the end of each year and to add any important notes. Also, I don't ride enough to really justify anything more. And I enjoy not having my cell

Nice looking mounting of the basket to the Nitto rack. How do you like the UltraDynamico tires? My plan is to cut down the Wald struts and use a couple angle brackets along with aluminum bar stock to make a "rasket". Finding a long strut to go from the fork to the rasket isn't going well. Riv h

The Ultradynamico tires are nice. They are very comfortable and the bike feels great (and fast) with them. I’m running the Rose up front which holds fine on the loose dirt around here. On pavement it rolls fine with a bit of a whirring sound that’s not as distracting as full on knobbies but also

Reading through the blog post makes me wonder if anyone has ridden a bike with a carefully calibrated cycle odometer - maybe using the "roll out" method to determine accuracy - along with one of these GPS units to see how accurate the GPS really is. Seems like riding through areas where the sky

GPS mapping software is smart enough to understand a brief break for tunnels. Bridges & underpasses are not a problem as there are multiple satellites feeding the data all the way across the horizon so you may lose a more overhead signal but not one coming at you from in front or behind. As for
