Bike Computer
Hello fellow bikers.
I'm seeking advice on which bike computer to buy. I want something reliable and not too expensive. (I've spent all night researching them and can't decide!)
I'd like it to have:
Wireless
Altimeter
Backlight
Any suggestions?
So far I've almost bought a:
Cateye CC HR200DW
TREK Incite ACH
VDO MC1+
but I can't decide! $200 is the absolute limit and I'd prefer to spend less.

Flat bar
Hey we are currently trying to find the best setup for Vaninas bike, We are looking for a narrow flat bar to borrow and see if that works. It would be best to get one with a 31.8 clamp as I have more stem lengths to work with but either will do.
Cheers for the help.
Bottom Bracket Replacement Tips
I am replacing the bottom bracket and crank on my Trance X0 tonight and just wondered, is there anything that is a big no no or a must do when doing this. Something like, greasing the BB threads etc.
Vibration from braking?
On my last two rides, my rear brakes have been howling and sending severe vibration up through the frame of my bike. Does anyone know of what could be causing this and/or how to deal with it?
I have the rotor centred fairly well and tightened the cone nuts with no success.
Appreciate any feedback....
FYI: Trek Fuel ex7 with Avid Elixir CR brakes (7 inch rotors)
SS 69er
SS = Sweet & Simple
I took the soon to be 69er (went out with a 26" front wheel) for its first ride.
Sweet & Simple, need a lot more legs! for the hills...and need a wider Handle bar, as Damien suggested already!
I look forward to use it with the 29" front wheel soon.
Damien, it is a nice ride on a SS, I could get used to it!
I can understand you guys, Damien, Paul, Andrew... it is a nice, different kind of ride.
Lets see what the 29" front wheel and a wider Handle bar will do to it! The wider bar is defiantly needed!
Q: Which handle bar should I get?

Another nobmob kit order anytime?
Hi Rob.
Will there be another order going through for Nobmob kit I wonder? I should probably make an effort for Toasted at the Sydney 24.
SOLD! Brand New, 'Large' 2008 Scott 24 Hour Jersey
CORC recently had a clear out sale at which I bought a few items. Sadly the 'Large' jersey ordered is more like 'Medium' so is a bit too snug for me.
So anyone enter the event (or want to pretend they did) and want to take if off my hands for 50 bucks?
It's 'Large' (more like medium) white with white on black 'SCOTT' on the sides and 'Ride.24.08' across the chest, 'A decade of dirt' on the back. Red highlights on the sleeves. Large red mud blotch on the back top. Usual sponsors logos everywhere. Oh, surely you've seen them?
