LED Lights
I'm looking seriously at lights, and my dream would be a set of K-Lites. http://www.klite.com.au/ But at $729 for a set, that won't happen too soon.
On the other end of the spectrum is the following (which includes free shipping). A work mate ordered some LED torches through this website & has been really happy with them.

What kind of experiences have you guys had with cheap/expensive lights? If a $39 light lasted through winter, then blew up, I'd still be happy!
Garmin mount alternative
Saw this little beauty called the barfly. It seems like a great idea to get the edge off the stem/bar and out in front.
Not so good on a mtb but would be fantastic on the roadie.

Killed my Garmin Edge 800 with OTB!
Went over the bars today, came away a bit shaken but apart from that, just a few scratches...... except for my Garmin Edge 800 which bore the brunt of a rather hard rock, smashing it's screen. The little fella was bravely beeping away on the inside, even though his screen was destroyed. Has anyone else cracked their 800 screen and what was the remedy/how much?

Dang!
I went shopping this morning for a replacement for my Garmin heart rate monitor strap which carked it at the Mont, and bought a speed and cadence sensor as well, with the aim of fitting to my Cannondale Rize.
Got home, ripped open the packaging and read the instructions (yeah, I do that - weird, huh?) then went to put it on the non-drive side chain stay and .... stopped.
Bugger. How's this gonna work?

I haven't tried this but someone might find it handy.
torque wrench
I'm using a few carbon fibre bits on my bike now, and I'm consciously aware of over tightening certain bolts!
What should I be looking out for when it comes to torque wrench's for MTB? Can anyone recommend a specific brand, size and all the bolt sizes so I can smarten up in this area?

Missing Search Button
Tech help
I have been using Garmin connect for over a year and during the last 2 months I have noticed that the search button is missing from the explore page, normally the search button is next to the “keywords” and “start near” boxes.
Has anyone else had this issue and if so do you know how to fix?
I have contacted Garmin twice and no reply.
