Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

Picked up one of these (in red) for my 8yo's new Christmas road bike: http://www.cyclesurgery.com/pws/UniqueProductKey.ice?ProductID=CTRK0379RR There's blue ones as well.

£7.49 for a wireless computer seems good. Yes, it's basic, but he's 8.

I've been tempted to get one for my nephew for a while and that looks perfect, but im worried he'll be watching the speedo trying to break his top speed and not look where hes going, am I just being paranoid?

Yes, he will do that but that's part of life's learning curve, you can't protect kids form everything.

Doesn't stop me looking down at my garmin regularly either. Caused many a speed wobble i can tell you

 

[oldfatfool]

Right, that's that. Wheels, cassette, tubes & tyres (Vittoria Rubino's) for less than £120. Can't be bad can it? I'm sure they're going to be an improvement over the standard Triban wheels & tyres...

Don't forget the rim tape!!

I think its more a case that everytime i take him for a bike ride I'm reminded/lectured about all the possible dangers (eg. cars, darkness, ice, the river, the lake, strangers/weirdos ), so im trying to show that its healthy and relatively safe as otherwise he'll be indoors staring at a screen 24/7. Thanks, ill order one.

Get one that records the max speed - when I'm nearing my top speed (downhill of course), I daren't look down to see what it actually is - I just look afterwards

That's true that! I can't actually see the thing becaue my eyes are streaming and the bloomin thing is bouncing around

Just ordered a set of Raleigh glasses with smoked, clear and orange lenses from £30 down to £10 with free delivery, may not be for Sunday best but should be good for the commuting! Get them here

Wheels turned up today, very nice and only the front wheel needs a tweak of the spoke tension but im talking about a 1 mm at max play at one point.

Could you do a comparison of the 501s to what you were using? Flex, ride quality, perceived weight... that sort of thing. Im sure a lot of people with CXP22 and OEM alexrims types of wheel will be interested.
