The URL above has to be copied and pasted. For some reason it doesn't work when linked.

How about with Chris King R45 hubs on a sunny day on a rural road in the middle of nowhere? What's Garmin's excuse for that behavior? Like I said GSC10 sensor does the same thing with E1K. Are the new sensors allergic to titanium framesets?
