    I just viewed a YouTube article by The Lockpicking Lawyer where he attempted to open an Abus 5700 lock. After seeing this review, I don't think I will get one Look at this video - . Also this one - . Look at the second video around the 3:35 time frame. He pops it right open. Scary.

    mission control, strava, power, etc. [warning: data!]

    @Stefan Mikes : Which of the available Mastermind TCD-W display statistics are sent to Strava at the end of a ride? How is that data formatted? What other data is sent to Strava? It looks like you also copy some BLEvo data to Strava. Without BLEvo, how would you get average assistance and Wh/km...

    @Stefan Mikes : Whatever version of the TCD-w I have on my 2022 Tero 5 communicates with the Varia. How do I determine whether I have Gen 1 or Gen 2?

    Is TCD Compatible With Garmin Varia?

    As Stefan pointed out, the Garmin Varia does communicate with the TCD-w. I tested that recently on my new Tero 5. There is also a Garman Varia app for your cell phone, as well as Ride with GPS works with the Varia. I have installed the Varia and my tail light on the back of my Topeak 29er rack...

    @Stefan Mikes : I can charge my phone from the usb c port on my Mastermind TCD-W controller on my Tero. I have a short usb c to usb c cable. Probably could charge a GPS with correct plugs on cable.

    Cell Phone Power From Mastermind TCD-W USB C Connector

    The USB C connector on the TCD-W head unit can supply 1 amp to a connected device as stated in the Tero manual. I connected my phone, an Android LG Stylo 5 to it and was able to run the phone and simultaneously charge it. This will solve the problem of phone batteries dying on longer rides. The...

    Wahoo ELEMNT (Roam and Bolt v2) on Specialized e-bikes (Garmin Edge compared)

    It seems to me that this implies that the tire circumference can be set using the Companion App. I thought that tire size could only be set by a Specialized dealer using their special tool connected to the bike computer. Or does this only work for earlier computers, and will not work with my TCD-W?

    Mission Control questions

    @Stefan Mikes : The BLEvo FB page is actually in a multitude of languages. Mostly Italian, but enough English so I can figure out what is going on. A few other languages, such as Deutsch. Still can't get comments.

    Mission Control questions

    @Stefan Mikes : Thank you very much, that's good info. I will spring the $10 for BLEvo. I wonder if, some time, Paolo will crack the Specialized code, so that BLEvo will be able to write to TCD-w. The info that is missing is right there on the TCD-w display, settable with the remote. As an...
