Cyclocomputer

I always wondered how fast and far I ride so I bought generic cyclocomputer from ebay.  It works well, but it's a little sluggish with it's readings because of the cold weather.

It's easy to read, has 2 big buttons, water proof, and feels solidly built.  There are a few minor issues though.  The instructions, and the screw used to attaches the fork sensor could be better.

This unit does what it's suppose to and it's only $5.  I would recommend it for anyone looking for a basic bicycle computer.

P.S.  I'm gonna change the way the wire is routed.  Just too lazy to do it now.

UPDATE FEBRUARY 20, 2012:  Without going nuts, the top speed I can achieve on this bike is about 20kph (12mph) on level ground. 

Removed The Fenders

I removed the fenders a week or two ago for no particular reason.  It was just something to do on a cold winter day. haha

This won't be a permanent thing.  Sooner than later I'll have to put them back on.  So far, the winter in Toronto has been dry and mild enough to ride without fenders.

There are a few advantages for removing them.

• It's easier to transport in my car after removing the wheels.
• Knocked off a bit over 1 pound or 477 grams.
