New and Interesting Accessories You Love

[PedalUma]

I needed to mount a 90mm round battery for a little person's bike today and came across this water bottle cage. There is not much room in the triangle to remove and reinstall the battery. Because this cage expands and tightens, it accommodates bottles of various diameters and locks them in securely. It also has a spot for an air tag that is hidden.

What new accessories do you love?

I've gotten great use out of the Topeak trunk bag with panniers. Bought another one today as a birthday present for my son.

One of the handiest accessories I've found is this clamp. It can be used to mount a variety of attachments almost anywhere on a bike. It's made of cast aluminum with a variety of tappings on both sides, comes in several sizes and is absolutely rigid. A wrap of friction tape underneath keeps it from marring paint.

I use them for mounting things like gauges, headlights, mirrors, cameras, etc.

I solved that need a bit differently.
This non_slip grip shrink wrap works well and looks clean. I used to it on my handlebar horns as well.

The install is a few years old and still works well... Though they're starting to look a little beat up.

I concur... Really liking my Topeak bag.
I have no immediate plans to run away from home so I skipped the panniers.
Then I chopped the optional pannier supports to only handle my small side bags for a little cleaner look.

thats a little cleaner but I( like the larger surface and dirt was great on my long downhill on the tandem yesterday. help with my inner stress.

Mine is the Garmin Zumo XT GPS. It is a rugged motorcycle navigator that I originally bought it for ATVing. The screen is 5.5 inches and it is brightest enough to see it the daytime outside. The largest bicycle computer screen that I am aware of is less than 4 inches.

I just installed a 64 GB micro SD card in it this weekend. I have added a number of free maps that show bicycle trails. I wired it to a USB plug, so I just plug it into a power bank to power it on rides. I like the weather feature and it also displays the name of the artist and song playing when I am listening to Sirius XM on a Noxgear 39g Bluetooth speaker that is clipped to my high visibility vest.

My on the go prepstand when traveling light or my 3rd hand when working on a normal prepstand, for holding forks or handlebars etc.

A bit like the idea of the Altangle system but a reasonable cost price of roughly 20 euro (about 24 US-D).

works well on the go, clamping one part on a sign-post or other pole and it will hold 20 to 25 Kg, just need to be careful not to go "angry-monky" on bolts and nuts. Also used when clamped to a european style hitchmounted bike rack, easy for doing some maintenance and finetuning on the go.
