Spot on Pete!

That's an audio signal or with the red side shading when using a Garmin device as a monitor?

I haven't yet had a chance to ride with the CB I bought but I did do a MacGuyver on the cheap rubber mount. Pulled out the hard plastic bit with its brass threaded insert, cobbled up a Cestbon bayonet-type aluminum+plastic Garmin mount so the 5mm FH machine screw works with the CB attachment clip. Much more solid mounting to my seat Selle Royale seat's rails that hung from a rubber band off the seat post below.

Sunday's supposed to be 78°F here, sunny with some SW wind gusts to 24 mph so I fully expect to be riding once again for this year! Will report on whether the CB adds to the experience.
