Garmin Edge 305 battery replacement

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

I noticed that the battery life on my Garmin Edge 305 had (over the last three years) dropped to about 6 hours from the 12 hour typical battery life that it is meant to have when new. 6 hours is not enough for a 100km enduro race or a 24 hour race.

Trail fairy

This must be one of those trail fairies that I have heard about. He snuck into my tyre when riding at Red Hill yesterday and I got a sidewall tear. Good reminder to carry money with you when riding

Derailleur Hangar Repair - disaster averted!

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

The Scummer's been an absolute joy since the rebuild, and I've been out getting in some long hard k's while the tracks have been drying out after the rain. But, disaster struck last week, a 'slam' gearchange, going onto the big ring at the front while shifting to one of the bigger cogs at the back with too much load (I should've known better), and the rear derailleur twisted out of the hanger, stripping what was left of some very tired thread after nine years of use. With a road bike, the hangar is usually permanently attached, and in my case, bonded into the carbon frame.
