    Gazelle E-Bike Firmware Update

    A friend of mine asked if I want him to do a firmware update on my Gazelle Ultimate C380+. I last time I had that bike at my local bike shop, they didn't say anything about a firmware update. Does anybody happen to know what the updates are?

    Should I Buy A Pedal Wrench?

    I bought some replacement pedals. Should I buy a pedal wrench? It looks like it is probably easier to swap them out with the use of a pedal wrench. I have also seen that some that have handles that are extra long. Is it worthwhile to buy one with a longer handle?

    Getting What You Need From a Cycling GPS

    I use a Garmin Zumo XT on my bikes. That device is actually a motorcycle GPS, not a bike GPS. I want it for navigation. It does have an internal battery, but it won't last on longer rides so I have power banks that I put in the handlebar-mounted water bottle holder to extend run time.
