I bought a new handlebar from a vendor that was recommended by Priority. It is the UPANBIKE Urban Road Bike Bicycle Retro Handlebar 31.8mm Moustache Shape Wide 640mm (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072347G4M?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details) and cost $24. I haven't installed it yet, but...

I have that mirror and like it pretty well. I also have the electric bell/horn. It is pretty loud but walkers tend not to pay attention to it. Perhaps because the sound is not a normal bell sound or possibly because so many folks are wearing ear buds.

On the other hand a couple of weeks after I got Tannus installed I had a major flat involving a sharp stick. Bleah.

Yesterday a little old lady on a Gazelle passed me on a narrow paved trail. About a minute later I caught up just in time to see her miss a sharp turn and fall, landing upside down and whacking her head hard on a large rock. I think she would have been seriously injured if she wasn't wearing a...

I use an app called Komoot, which can even give turn by turn directions.

Wow that is a full load.

Nice ... but no junk food?

My soft hide is begging for a softer ride. My credit card is begging me to toughen up.

I bought the mirror from Priority and mounted it next to my grip. It works fine for me but I do something bang into doorways. My light has never moved, not even when I fell over when trying to 'launch' at a light :), but I do believe the light is not removable.

Here is another Gates video: , and an article that talks about tension settings: https://www.gatescarbondrive.com/resources/handling-and-tension.

Thanks. That voice seems right out of the 1950's. Just like me.

I have to say I notice no 'mushy' feel in my ride since having Tannus inserts added.

Here are a couple of shots of my Current enjoying a view. John

There is something similar on Amazon for about $15, the Gates 91107 Krikit, which says it is for cars. Looks the same. The official Gates Carbon belt tool for bicycles is $65 on Amazon. That is the one Priority recommends. Looks nearly identical to the 91107.

I have had bad luck getting any sort of consistent readings from the Android app for checking the belt tension. Has anyone bought a tensioning tool? I seem to remember a post somewhere. Anyway, there seem to be a bunch of different ones available. If you bought one, which did you buy and...

I am interested in a belt tension tool. Which model did you buy?

yeah, my tires have tubes. Priority recommended this calculation site: https://cycleschinook.com/tire-pressure-calculator/

Speaking of Goodyear 650b tires, what is the recommended inflation? I saw somewhere that the max is 70psi, but number is best? Does it depend on the rider weight?

Thanks so much. I am not very mechanical and would likely pay someone to do it. Were you able to reuse the grips?

Good idea, and much cheaper.
