Just bought these https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/WPPX52...ncher-wheelset.

Think I've made a mistake, probably should have ordered these instead https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/WPPXC4...arbon-wheelset

Can be a little windy where I live, wondering if that extra 7mm will make a big difference.

Are those the carbon? Do you have a link?

[QUOTE=Diablito;17748585]Bought some 3t Aeronova bars

I was looking into buying a carbon set of these last week. How are you finding them? Where did you purchase?

You should be fine, the downside of the the 52s is the machined sidewall, they weigh 400g more than the others...the upside, better stopping power.

Just search 3t aeronova, they're everywhere...Art's has them, Competitive Cyclist has them, Chain Reaction Cycles has them, Wiggle has them. They've been out for awhile now, they're pretty easy to find.

Got a good deal at the LBS. Tried it on, much better fit than any of the other helmets I've tried. Visor and bar are removable for road riding. Ventalation looked surprisingly good considering the helmet style.

I bought a pair of specialized RBX sport shorts, 40$ plus tax 20% off. 30 miles test ride and they feel great, and are more aero than my baggy mtb bike shorts.

Miscellaneous parts and tools...

Took advantage of the USD-Euro exchange rate and picked this up:

Also found these at westernbikeworks at half off. 2 pairs @ 89.99 each. Worn just about every brand and these are my favorites, especially for 100+ mile rides.

How do you like the Magellan? I'm going back and forth between that an a Garmin Edge.

Recently I bought 27.5erMTB carbon rims for XC from Boostbicycle, weight about 400g.

Can't wait to get them then ask my friend to build into wheels XD.

Overall, it's "okay". I haven't genuinely ridden the Edge 810 or 1000 which I would say are the most direct competitors but I've toyed with them and in terms of UI and overall features they're really the same in essence.

I will say that the touchpad has this stupid feature where you need to hold an option down for it to select but sometimes device thinks you want a quick single click so I find myself stabbing the damn thing over and over for it to select an option.

No problems with connectivity among any of my Ant+ devices.

Still having trouble syncing it to Strava and sometimes my computer doesn't like it either and won't recognize it.

Had about 25% battery life after a 4 hour ride, then again this was with like a 1 minute+ backlight so I was basically using it as a heads up display.

So overall.... okay. Maybe you can give a better insight since you've owned and actively used both on the road. So please do and let me know which Edge it is you're comparing it to.

no more magnets on the Parlee...

Garmin Edge 500

I love it when you buy things because it introduces me to stuff I should know about but don't. I might have to do some shopping this week.

New wheels arrived today. £450 from Planet X :)

My CAAD10 got a new friend to play with. :)

Lbs fitting them with a new cassette and also fitting the new chain, hopefully have the bike back for the weekend.

Pitlock locking skewers (set 02) and a Kryptonite Evolution 4 integrated chain lock (mini-21); the first from Peter White Cycles, and the second from Amazon. Both should arrive within the next few days.

might be getting a used repair stand

I wore it on a chilly hilly 48 km ride last weekend ... and it was lovely! :) I was warm and comfortable without overheating on the climbs.

It was so nice, in fact, that we've ordered another. :D

Just curious, was that a 30-mile ride that you translated into kilometres for those who prefer the metric scale? I know that Canada and Australia both use the metric system, but I thought maybe the distances for bike rides are shown in the Imperial scale there. :)

That was a 48.65 km ride ... I hadn't given any thought to what it might be in imperial because we don't use the imperial system here in Australia. I thought Canada was a metric country, and it is, but Australia is even more so. A large portion of the population here would struggle to tell you what a mile is. So no, we do not measure bicycle rides in imperial here ... distance is in kilometres.
