    I’ve just got a Di2 bike and was thinking about GPS trackers in bikes (as well as strong locks). It looks like the current GPS trackers are mostly rubbish and a common problem is the need to keep them charged. So, I was wondering why no-one seems to do a GPS tracker that is powered by the Di2 battery? It could live in the seat tube along with the battery and then you’d never need to charge it separately – just keep your Di2 system charged.

    Anyone fancy putting one together?

    Dunno about you but it’s much less hassle to charge my Garmin which lives inside the house, than my bike which lives outside.

    Yep, that’d be one drawback.

    What Garmin do you have that provides GPS tracking? (i.e. if it gets nicked, you can find out where it was/is)
