    Thanks for this - IMHO this should be the default setup!

    Could you possibly post a photo if you get a chance? My bike was all set up prior to my collecting it so I never had any input on where the buttons would go.

    I’d only worry about grit and whatnot getting trapped and wrecking my paintwork. Not sure I’d worry about anything more structural.

    Mostly faster and easier cleaning. I haven’t bought the kit yet so I’ll see how it goes.

    I think I’m going to invest in getting the bike ride-wrapped before much longer.

    It did, but they came off with a touch of degreaser. It’s just the slightly rough finish that holds onto the oil or whatever I think. It does come off but it’s not as easy to just wipe down as a gloss finish would be.

    I love the colour…but beware the oil staining it can suffer. Being a matte finish it’s quite a bit more work to clean (for me anyway).

    bosch nyon 2021 release date

    My pleasure - another recommendation is the Polar Verity Sense optical strap HR. It’s incredibly reliable, no hassle to wear, and has worked really well for me running, on my Concept2, road and MTB cycling.

    Nope. It should recognise it when you add a new sensor.

    bosch nyon 2021 release date

    The app HeartCast should be what you need. Once you’ve got it running your Nyon should see the Watch the same as any other BRLE HR monitor.

    It’s really more the fact that HR rebroadcast isn’t allowed on Apple Watch by default. It can, however, be enabled with a third party app.

    Nyon Display

    Apple Watch can absolutely rebroadcast if your app uses the phone as a relay. There are numerous apps that do it in existence now. The Polar Verity Sense allows simultaneous connections and has worked well for me across several sports. I’d recommend it.

    Nyon Display

    I mention the Apple Watch because it’s the best selling watch on Earth, is regarded as the benchmark product in the category, and because the alternative watches you mention are obsolete the day they’re released (Tizen has just been killed off). As for Polar, I’ve used their straps, watches and...

    Nyon Display

    Not “any smart watch” - just the Apple Watch, which is a very simple developer task when compiling the iOS app for eBike Connect. As for it over complicating things, it’s quite the opposite. One thing Nyon lacks right now is the ability for the rider to choose the start and stop point of their...

    bosch nyon 2021 release date

    Hmm, not sure I'd agree with "Apple does not play well with others". What's missing here is an Apple Watch companion app for eBike Connect. For anyone who isn't a developer, asking your app to also compile for Apple Watch in Xcode really isn't a very big deal. Yes, Polar's optical sensors are...

    Nyon Display

    Hmm. So my 2021 Load 60 light should turn on and off with the Nyon light button??

    Nyon Display

    Kia ora Stephen! I have a few feature requests. Firstly, I absolutely love the new Nyon, and the eBike Connect web service is really nice. What I would to see added: 1. Integration with Apple Health (the COBI smartphone hub app already offers this - why not on the top of the line Nyon?). 2. An...

    2020 Riese & Müller Load Review

    Chris - hi from New Zealand. Your excellent videos have played a large part in us choosing to go for a Load 60. I’m having a tough time finding out one or two small things and wondered if you might be able to help - if I order the high sidewalls and child cover, does the tarpaulin come anyway...
