Not a separate phone (been there, tried that) ... I just use my Nothing phone mounted on a Peak Designs Out Front Bike Mount V2. It is there to make it easy to access my podcasts/music whilst riding.

MY 2024 SuperCharger 2 with Rodi Tryp 35 EVO 27.5" tubeless-ready" rims. These rims are drilled for Schrader valves. If you are thinking of converting to tubless, just be forewarned that Rodi may have drilled the valve holes larger than specified. I tried two different values, and the LBS did...

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...

Glad you found a solution that works for you. For me, I have settled on a Mirrcycle Barend Mirror, which I find very effective. It also has the bonus of tucking under my bar end. Ergon GP3-L Biokork Grips by Andrew Priest, on Flickr

Fascinating insight into the electronics [well for me].

Which race did you enter? My thinking is to do it with my son, who rides an analog Canyon Grizil 6. He is still building up his kilometres, so 60 km would be the ideal distance at first.

Nice work! I have been considering entering a gravel ride or two, but I just have not got around to it. You are making get off my butt, well maybe :)

To quote myself in full [context matters]: "I do not factor in what others do, and I do not assume what I do is what others do.* I hope that where I make a contribution to a discussion where context matters, I provide that context. ," [The discussion had moved on from Spezialied to more broadly...

I do not factor in what others do, and I do not assume what I do is what others do. I hope that where I make a contribution to a discussion where context matters, I provide that context. For example, this thread is about the use of a Wahoo Elemnt Ace GPS unit; hence, I think it is reasonable to...

Good to know.

If I were thinking 'outside the box' by using an automotive GPS not designed for use outside the vehicle, I would also be taking steps to protect it from water, but I would not do this in the first place. Each to their own, however. Personally, I prefer to think inside the box and use a device...

I am converting my 27.5" x 2.35" rims to tubeless (they are tubless-ready, tyres are tubless-ready), and I am considering taking this opportunity to go over Clik Valves or staying with Presta and Muc-Off Big Bore values Required (Clik or Presta): Tubeless valves - Clik - $62 Tubeless valves -...

I have never experienced that with my Garmin units or with my phones, currently a Nothing (3a) Pro (previously Google Pixel and Samsung models), which are generally mounted on my handlebars via a Peak Design Out Front Bike Mount V2, and similarly when I was riding a motorcycle. The screen is...

What sort of screen technology does Garmin use? As I stated previously, the Garmin screens are not perfect in the rain, but at least my Garmin Edge 1030 did work.

Thanks, that is useful to know. As an side do you know if there is a manual for the Ace? My Googling has not found one.

The problem with the Ace is that some functions, such as changing or selecting a route, require the touchscreen, and to be honest, if you need to or want to use the screen in the rain, it should work. After all is meant to be a premium bicycle GPS. I am hoping this is just my unit and I can get...

In the rain, just while the screen was wet. Have you had any experience with the Ace in the rain yet?

Rode in the rain (light but enough to wet the screen on the Wahoo Ace) and discovered the touch feature was no longer functioning. I know it was sometimes annoying with my Garmin 1030 but at least it was still responsive. Sadly with the Ace it was not responsive all.

To quote myself: "I am looking for ideas to 'lock' the unit to the bike for ducking into shops, overnight camping etc."
