What have you bought for the bike today ?

To provide a slightly larger mapping screen than on my Edge 530. It's not a getting older eyesight thing, honestly

Since it arrived this morning I've also had to order a couple of replacement out front style mounts as the current ones have too short an arm and the larger Explore snags on the stem bolts on a couple of bikes. Moving the mounts elsewhere on the bars is not an option at it just looks wrong when the GPS is not directly in line with the stem.

Nice. I did the exact same upgrade earlier in the year - 530 to EE2. It's not just the bigger map screen it's the faster processor, which also helps for recalculating the routes quicker, and the touch screen is a lot more user friendly than the 530's buttons.

I bought a pair of those a while ago.They aren't really typical of most bib shortsh as the material and pad are thin.However they will give you an idea of what bib shorts feel like but the difference in feel between them and say Altura is noticeable.
The Danish Endurance long sleeve tops,Sport Pursuit,are really good though for the money.

The Danish Endurance actually had an imperfection (Small hole) upon arrival - so I got a refund……after never getting to try them.

The replacement cheap set (FDX Brand) have been ace so far in 200 (?) miles total and 3 x continuous 50k rides.

I should now think about upgrading for sure. I’ll look up Altura….thanks ! 🙏

Having now got ‘comfort’ sorted on the Trek FX3 Disc:

(Via set-back seatpost)…*And hopefully this has been confirmed via today’s 50km ride with zero right hand numbness which I ALWAYS got on this bike…….

I decided i need some more Silver to go with the Polished seat-post and pedals.
So to break up that slab of Black upfront [Bars, levers, stem, grips etc etc] I’ve today purchased:

Titanium: Stem to bars bolts x 4, seat-post bolt x 1, and stem to fork steerer x 2:

And also some Titanium stem spacers:

Should break it up. Plus I’ve saved a shed-load 🙄 of weight in the process…..

I have some FDX bib tights that have seen many years use.Very comfortable and the only problem has been loose stitching on the pad.I'd be happy to use their equivalent bib shorts.
