Did the ponza solve all your woes?
they had an article on these on the latest version on bbc click programme, last week, I'd thought they might have now put a camera in (for taking names), but, seemingly, not yet.3d printed a Garmin Varia saddle mount,
It is super nice to have it alert you of cars behind before you even hear them, makes cycling much more relaxing! The plates/camera is kinda pointless from my pov, I'm not there to catch bad driving I'm just happy to have an extra pair of eyes behind

Jockey wheels - after some advice for my 20yr old Sachs (new success aris) RD.
These, have assymmetric bushings, the ones on the inner arm having larger holes,
I assume, none of the shimano (who seem to predominate market) ones will have that, so I'll have to re-use those.
.. and the next question is whether the plastic wheels will have the right groove diameter to take these bushings which is about 17.3mm,
plus, will take the 10mm outside diameter bearing shaft, and, be 7.9mm wide - all too much to hope for ?.
The tacx ones or BB roller boys, are another option, but not much info on their size, and the flange on the inner plate maybe a problem.
It stopped raining! Not sure how OMS motivates enough to keep banging out the big rides even in the wet!
Thanks, unfortunately I'v done multiple tours of the webHead over to retrobike.co.uk. few folks there in the road section with some pretty specific knowledge in this area.
Shimano are all one size, sram do some models that have two holes(one for the bolt and one locating hole).
The only ones I've come across with a bigger hole on the inside are sram 13 tooth wheels for 1x mechs. Totally wouldn't work on that.
Why not just stick a second hand old(7700,6600,5500) shimano mech on there?
Oh it's amazing what you can spot sometimes. Even more brutal is the ones you miss and think 'I would have had that for that price'Definitely, looking through Gumtree and the bay, still need to get my head around the components and understanding if its a good deal or not but as you say just need to keep looking. I was in the depths of "how to build a bike" last night on youtube and it looked a really cool project so that might be something I look at also!
That's very neat & cool! Looks pretty solid & robust, good work!
Does the latest have ANPR? I've thought for a while about some of the newer security cameras and all the image side processing the now cameras do themselves (compared to previously, like ANPR) how we'd not seen a 'cyclist cam' with it.@jpaul to be fair I prefer it without, this is the earlier model the r510 rather than the latest 515.
Sportful Fiandre Light. I've got one of these and it is superb just to sling over a summer jersey. So light and thin it's very breathable, but anything more than a shower you get wet. Although spray from wet roads after heavy rain it's utterly useless. I've got a Castelli Tempesta which is pretty darn good, but have not ridden in it in really heavy rain, nor in really hot summer showers. But feela very breathable and the material seems to keep far more rain out than it should. Keeps out more than a cape as it's multi layered, even more than my premium NFTO cape (which is as good as my jackets).Yesterday was a winter bike day and the full guards help a lot, but having said that it was too warm and muggy for a coat so just got wet.
You should find some of your older more smaller shops more than happy for you to do this - some might even be really interested in what you're doing and want to see the RD. They're generally older guys who are real bike geeks!... or find a willing bike shop with a set of callipers.
Thinking of replacing the Bontrager R1 tyres my bike came with, but not really sure what to go for, anyone got any recommendations for good tyres? Currents are 25mm, but I believe I can fit wider on there so may look at 28mm
