    Garmin Varia Radar test

    There a survey of two cannot be wrong. Actually the research revealed no buyer remorse. Mostly very positive. As an adjunct to a cycling safety protocol it works . Plus for added safety. A reduction in the surprise close passs.

    Garmin Varia Radar test

    I have been taken out three times by vehicles clipping me from behind whilst hugging the edge of the road. Two caravans and a b double truck. Spat me onto verge with only rash. Lucky. One was on the vendetta with mirrors . The driver just had to squeeze by. Would the radar have saved me...

    I sense a disturbance in the 3rd Law

    On the Garmin edge it gives audible warning and visual indicator of speed distance and also numbers of cars. I think the dedicated head unit is poor. Might help with that surprise car when we inevitably drift off the mirror checks. I think you are right re brightness and would always run a...

    I sense a disturbance in the 3rd Law

    Hi ratz. I was wondering if you pursued any radar option. I see Garmin have the varia radar rear flashing tail light now out for over a year It is compatible with their current head units or a purpose built specific head unit is available which stupidly lacks an audio alert that the gps head...

    New indoor track 24hr record set this past weekend

    It does make you wonder what a clean pro rider could do over 24 hours. But as noted the lack of money keeps it real. An incredible effort off the charts and a new benchmark of commitment. Sportsmanship the winner here. Respect.

    Chain WAXing (yes it's that easy) - and other mysteries of this art!

    I hope so but the rock n roll gold is wax based and the chain is always shiney and clean. But I can feel it crunching as it were. So maybe I need to clean chain and wax more often too. Going to try a weekly schedule with two chains. I like to clean off bike so quicklink is imperative.

    Chain WAXing (yes it's that easy) - and other mysteries of this art!

    Ok I'm convinced all bikes going wax. Use in equal parts paraffin candle wax paraffin oil and for suspension xylene or mineral turps for liquid room temp application out of a squirty bottle. First two ingredients use as per entire thread crockpot melt soak chain wipe and bag Three...
