My old Garmin Forerunner bit the dust, so I replaced it with a Wahoo Element Bolt. So far I'm pretty happy with it. :-)

Looking at the T2 Pro XT myself.

Just bought the bike (2011 Felt F15x) about two weeks ago. Bought a new rear tire (Vittoria), new bar tape for it and my old Trek 1200, and a holder for my phone while I’m riding.

Arrived Last week, Never posted a picture in this thread.

So my stubbornness ended up winning today. I picked up a can of high temp spray paint this morning & painted my rotors properly. The longest part is the prepping (taping and cutting around with a scalpel). Result is great. Cost me 5$ instead of 200$+ for dura-ace rotors :) Not sure how many grams the paint added to my bike though, but I am happy with this!

After getting coal-rolled by some sentient filth in a red diesel pickup several weeks ago I started looking into bike cameras, and ended up picking up a Cycliq Fly 12 CE, like this one. Took it on its first ride today. I think it'll be quite useful if anything goes down to the front of my bike. If I like it I'll probably pick up the Fly 6 rear tail light/camera combo unit as well.

Be sure to register and upload to UpRide when you catch some asshattery on camera.

Wow, so I just went and looked at some of those. Makes me almost not want to go ride anymore. Success will be if I never have any video interesting enough to upload there. :-)

I'm just wondering if the assclown who coal-rolled me several weeks back will do it again. The area I was riding through is 100% residential, so he probably lives nearby, so there's a pretty good chance we'll pass each other again. If he does it, and I'm able to make out a license plate in all that smoke as he passes, that's going straight to the sheriff's office first, then maybe UpRide.

I've been riding with my Fly12 for a little less than two months. So far, I've uploaded one punishment pass.

In the short term, I've found that I'm able to keep my temper in check a little better - knowing that I have evidence and can do something is better than the usual, frustrating helplessness and means I'm less likely to seek ulock justice or similar. In the long term, I look forward to the time when, "uh oh - that cyclist might have a camera..." enters the consciousness if the average driver and they stop thinking that there's no repercussions.

I just received a Mirrcycle road bike mirror yesterday, I have Microshift levers but was able to hang the mirror. Went for a short ride to adjust it and it’s going to be great to have.

I hear ya. I've been pretty fortunate over time. I've had some very close passes that appeared to be more due to inattention than malice, and a few folks shouting and hooting at me or honking their horn as they passed just to be jackasses, but the coal roll was the only deliberate, more-than-vocal hostile act I can recall in recent years. Still, it's nice to know I'll have it on tape if/when it does occur. And when I start doing group rides again it'll be nice having a camera in case someone goes down and it would help to have a recording of it. I'll need to pick up the Fly 6 rear camera too. We've had people go down hard on at least two or three group rides that I can recall. On a huge century ride I did several years ago (several thousand riders) a guy went down hard who was right behind me when it happened. I turned to see what happened but I couldn't stop just then, and saw several others stop to help him, so I kept going. That would have been good to get on tape, especially if it might have helped him with any insurance or other issues.

that is a good method for mirror mounting, much better than at the end of the bars. If it's going to be permanent you could poke a hole through your hood and make it purpose built.
I just ordered a new seatpost (I like my nuovo record seatpost, but hate adjusting it with modern seats), and also a carbon seat because I'm curious if it will be any good compared my good ole trusty leather saddles.

I just ordered a Cyckit Aeroclam P1 from Amazon. I got rid of my seat bag and decided to carry everything in my jersey pockets. I got sick of that today so I ordered the P1 which is a hard shell and fits very tightly to the saddle.

I just got some Continental GP 5000 tubeless tires. I mounted them this morning. I was very concerned about doing it since there seems to be a fair percentage of people that have a hard time mounting tubeless tires. I got lucky with both tires I guess. I'll give them a test tomorrow morning.

What a weird saddle that bag appears to rely on.. no saddle rail behind the seatpost clamp?

Just recently bought a Bontrager Flash Charger minus the pump. It’s about time to refresh sealant. To help with that I also bought a Kool Stop Tire Bead Jack.

I also bought a Bontrager Velocis helmet. Very nice! I’ve been putting a hurting on my CC.

Two more fabric cageless bottles.
