    Thanks Brambor, I've never used any mapping apps before, so installed the free version of MapMyRide on my iPhone and it wasn't too bad. I turned it on after leaving work, tried a new route which was longer but along a trail, took a few wrong turns, crossed a few regular bikers along the way...

    Turbo technology in 2014

    Hi Brambor. This is the Third Eye Bar End rear view mirror selling on Amazon for $12. I think I picked mine up from our local REI store for $15 last year. I had this installed on my previous hybrid bike and it served it's purpose very well. It's very minimal, does not stick out too much and the...

    Turbo technology in 2014

    Thanks Court. I looked at the CirrusBodyFloat online but that was too pricey so decided to try the Thudbuster. I used one for a few days to make sure it was worth the money and only after that did I drill the hole to pass the light wires through. Great site, very helpful contribution from...

    I did get the larger battery. The commute is not bad except for the 4 miles in and out of my work place close to downtown Redmond.

I have a 16 miles round trip commute to work, the last 2 miles near my home being a steep uphill climb. I got into biking after a 18 year break and bought a regular Specialized...

    Turbo technology in 2014

    The Thudbuster seat-post is aluminum and it was fairly easy making a hole in the top. The better way of doing this would be to remove the elastomers to have clearer access to the top with a drill. Since I was not able to keep my drill bit in the same place due to the angle (notice all the...

    Turbo technology in 2014

    Hello everyone, my first post though I have been following all the discussions and commuter logs for the past few weeks. After reading up on everyone's experiences here, I decided to try out a Turbo at my local bike shop here in Redmond, WA who were gracious enough to let me test a demo model at...
