Garmin's latest firmware update for the '40 series and, presumably, the '50 series (I have not checked) indicates that Garmin and Bosch are now talking to each other. I have not investigated this further; I am not a Garmin GPS user, nor do I have a Smart System, but it may be of interest to you...

Fascinating insight into the electronics [well for me].

I am curious as to whether anyone has come up with a way to secure a Bosch Nyon 2 head unit to the bike (Supercharger 2 in my case). I am looking for ideas to 'lock' the unit to the bike for ducking into shops, overnight camping etc.

First, each bike has its own pump, so I don't have to worry about remembering to switch pumps, which leads me to this week's dilemma.

If you have an Anker powerbank 10000mAh, you might want to check to see if it is Model A1263 and get it replaced. Details on Anker's website here.

I was looking around for a downtube bag along the lines of the Revelate Joey DownTube Bag (see review here) and came across the Appidura Expidition Bike Charger Pack [1.6l] which I could use to carry my Bosch charger when I need to and otherwise use it for other storage. They describe it thus...

I am looking forward to your ride report, @Stefan Mikes :) https://bikepacking.com/routes/kotlina400/

If you were looking to buy an action camera for the front of the bike today, its primary use would be daytime riding on the road, and its secondary use would be capturing footage of interesting bikepacking/touring rides. What specific features/specifications would you consider a minimum? I am...
