It's a speed/cadence sensor for the Edge 705. A horribly engineered bit of kit provides more reliable data than GPS alone.

Mine are in the LBS but I can't get there till saturday but will be doing the guards, tyres and tubes on sunday morning and hopefully testing the new kit out for a quick blast in the afternoon.I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.0 -
- SKS chromoplastic mudguards
- Camelbak bottle
- New schwalbe tyre to replace the rear one which came with the bike which seems to be about as good as a net curtain at resisting punctures.0 -

The only examples I could find on YouTube were either DH mountain biking, or on car bumpers/dashes. I would also be interested in how rain-resistant it is.
If I had one I'd have to edit out the number of 'shoulder checks' I do when I pass someone worth a second look before showing my wife the footage
Tried it last night on my oh-so-windy trip home. It is incredibly small, about the size of my thumb.
Seems to work just fine but I need to play with the angle of the helmet mount because most of the footage turned out to be of tarmac :oops:. Will have a play over the weekend with getting it angled right and hopefully have some footage of Tuesday's ride in that has a bit more going on than 90 minutes of black stuff....0 -

My new 'cross frame arrived yesterday:
Might upgrade the forks next year, but will see how I get on with them. Fortunately, I have some Easton bars with yellow on them, so that will nicely match them outline on the decals.
Now have to go shopping to kit it out. Was going to switch some kit over from the commuter and use it to commute on as well as race, but not firmly decided on that one yet. Might buy a new groupset for the Scott next year or commuter and move the existing stuff down the chain. But that might not go down so well domestically, so will have a look round for cheapish kit too.FCN 2-4.

Cheers, WMC. I'm very chuffed with it. Only nine months old; been used for commuting only, no racing.
If I swap stuff over from the commuter, I'm very close to a complete bike - just need brakes, new cables and a 'cross-specific chainset (although this means I'll be spinning like a goon on the commute ). If I do this, I'll have money to buy wheels for racing. Decisions, decisions. Need to check out ebay.FCN 2-4.

Finally got my ass over to BLB to get a black machined deep v rim so i can build my front wheel to match the rear.
Now Carly has matching collar and cuffs (sig updated)
I'm getting quite good at this wheel building lark.... only took 2.5h :oops:0 -

Looking forward to Monday on my new Kona Honky Tonk (replacing nicked Specialized Allez...) I was all undecided between this and a "proper" commuter like a Ridgeback till I rode it round a bit. And I love the idea of having a cheeky bit of Dura-Ace on it...

Fitted the cat eye velo 5 I just bought - what a load of shit. I didn't bother reading the product info as I was only after the most basic of functions, unfortunately this lacks one of the most fundamental, simple functions there is - it doesn't have a time elapsed function, despite having a clock on it and calculating speed and distance it can't tell you how long you're been riding what's the point of that :roll:0
