Yeah, but it works really well, and is AERO to boot.

I was planning to use its alerts to keep me at the pace I'm aiming for.

Typically if you're willing to pay Garmin some fee (equivalent to buying the replacement unit), they will send you the replacement right away, without waiting to receive your return. They've even overnighted mine on more than one occasion (its probable that I'm more of a PIA than you are).


Then you still send it your broken one and when they get it, they credit you back the $ you sent them.


If you sent your unit today, you might only have your $ tied up for a day or two total.

You're supposed to use the HBD emoticon with that word. Fixed.

Actually, no. Skin is slow.


There is a reason why skin suits are long sleeve.

Well it will be a good exercise in pacing by feel, then.


And you don't even have to pay a coach to tell you to do it that way.

Well, I don't think WhyFi is contemplating a skin suit...

Wrinkles make me cringe. When someone shows up at a TT with a wrinkle, I know they are not taking things seriously.


Ditto for a watch.


Or a bottle cage.

First ride on those tires and first time I use tubulars, so I have nothing to compare to. I have been using the Relix clincher this year a lot though, and I'd say they are alright. Comparable to other high quality tires like the Corsa or Open Pave. The tread pattern is a bit ridiculous.



I didn't carry any spares, nor did I need to do any road-side maintenance. I think whoever said they take the same space as two tubes is wrong. They seem much bulkier than that. I am still not sure I'll be using these for anything but racing. Gluing was not too bad, except for the removing the old glue part, which was a pita, and putting the new tire on, which took some effort. I don't think I got it perfectly straight but close enough.

Is there any particular tubular that is small enough to be carried as a spare? I still wouldn't feel super confident having to do a roadside repair, especially the removing old tire part, but I don't get flats very often (I'm at five all-time, two of them happened simultaneously) so maybe I'll risk it once in a while.



Finally someone that understands me. :thumb:

As a lay philosopher, farmer, general jack of all trades, I disagree with your take.

These Garmin rubber band mounts are awesome - you can put them anywhere. Say, anyone know how to enter stroller stats in to Strava?

No problem. Go to your activity, then click the pen icon on the left side panel. Under "sport" select "crossfit", then hit save.
