New Quarq DZero and Praxis chainrings (and GXP bottom bracket to suit) to replace my 9000 series DA chainset with Stages PM. All in it's about 80g (c60g chainset, 20g BB) heavier than the DA/stages setup but I'm hoping it'll prove to be more reliable!

yeah, but its been years since the 705 and 800. i would've thought they ironed out everything for the 820...but that screen got smaller and so did the physical size. i got a 1000, but even those were so large, i went back to the 810 which is my perfect size.

so I can still wait until Garmin does edge to edge and eliminate the super thick bezels on all their devices.
If people like Apple are still struggling to get this on their devices at the right price point, I think it'll be several years for a company like Garmin to do it to be honest.

3T Ernova LTD 40cm 171g with inliners. Just renamed Ergonova and prob thats why these are discounted hardly (salden.nl, bike-discount etc.). For 190€ pretty good weight/price ratio.

Bought PRO disk wheel from ebay. Before purchase asked the weight and was told its under 1000g.
Received the wheel and weight with tyre was 1690g. Tyre is ca 350g, so the wheel is ca 1340g. I asked the seller where this under 1000g came from. He said he gave the wheel weight without the hub :shock: :shock: :shock:
Never heard such nonsense before. Its same as telling your body weight without legs.

what full disc wheel is under 1kg.. exotics only likely... You should have looked up the weight on mfg site... if the seller told me that.. no way in hell I would believe it.

Well.. this sellers body weight without his head vs. with his head is probably the same as well... thats the most ridiculous story I heard in quite some time :)

The image literally points to the website where you can buy them (you can click on it) - the gloves are Showers Pass Crosspoint Waterproof Knit Gloves
