    Cheers for the replies. I have a Saris H3 I can pick up the WiFi and tether my phone but I’m a couple of garages in to the block so running power cables not an option. WiFi just about works but might look at a way of boosting the signal further.

    I used to get through 3-4 pairs of spd-sl’s cleats on my commuter per year. That went down to one a year with clear covers.

    I have the same issue. I will probably buy a replacement back and do the same. Using my wahoo at the moment. But is not as good for navigation.

    i’ve moved jobs and have less traffic lights to deal with so hopefully it will be less of an issue. I have patched up various pairs in various ways. Even using old overshoes to reinforce the new ones. I have also duct taped my winter shoes like a mythbusters style challenge before too. 

     

    Cheers for the advice.

    Bugger. Between that and the small screen it puts me off. On my edge 1000 I use 7 data fields and get the map every time i need a turn. The bolt just doesn’t do what I really need/like. Shame as everything else is faultless. Screen is too small for more than a few data fields and my eyesight is brilliant according to the optometrist. At over twenty mph you can’t use more than about 6 fields. 

     

    Also the out front mount, isn’t really out front enough.

     

    Shame really. Hopefully the roam is better.

    Just remembered an alternative tubeless repair is to squeeze some rubber glue (e.g. wetsuit repair glue – https://www.amazon.co.uk/McNett-Black-Witch-Neoprene-Adhesive/dp/B000SCJQYQ) into the hole and leave for 24 hours or so. I’ve also heard of people using superglue to repair tyres, though that sets hard which can cause problems.

     

    i fixed a largish hole with flexible superglue, ran that tyre for another year. Sector28s!
