Is this where I apologise to Mrs warthog1?
:lol: No. I have told her how effective the Varia radar is, how it works and how useful it is. She worries about our drivers too and their effect on my safety. She likes the Varia and likes me using it. :)

The brackets are a tour de force — a tap on the shoulder to Garmin, Trek, Bontrager, Bryton et al about how to make a proper, stable and quality bracket — not silly rubber bands!


They are very good 8)

Are you restricted to moving the mount/light upward because of what I perceive as a wider width of the seat post in that photo?
A number of riders I have seen very recently (last weekend) have part of the lower edge of the Varia obscured by the tyre — something I notice that Garmin themselves point out. Two I saw last weekend are actually pointing at 45°+ off the horizontal (!)
It can go up to where the rubber blank is but has no need to.

The bike looks like a blast...especially interesting that there is no chain... are you taking this zero friction stuff to the next level..?

don't need a chain when all your rides are downhill with a tail wind

:lol:
Old touring cyclists' maxim:

'For every downhill there's an uphill...for every tailwind, there will be a headwind...'

That was a photo when I used the wipes Christopher sent as a forum prize :)
Waxed chains, also a chain swap ;)
