As a former owner of the GoPro Hero3 Black edition, I’m anxiously waiting the Garmin. Sad to the the Countour go. Price drop on the Sony camera has piqued my interest, but I’m still going to wait somewhat for the Garmin.

The Garmin looks interesting. Not sure about the formfactor. I like the increased battery life and ability to connect to other devices. Also, the adapter for GoPro mounts is a plus. I could use a Garmin camera on a K-edge handlebar mount. Price is a little high I think but I’ll wait and see how the reviews come out. GoPro may up the aunty soon as well.

I may wait until the GoPro Hero4 comes out. Plus, Garmin is releasing a camera next month that I want to check out.

[bluerider]

Hmmmm….. I will have to check this out. In the market for a camera but I haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

I have the Krypto NYC Forgetaboutit mini U-lock. I love it. Its heavy but thats the point. I use a cable in conjunction with it. You never know what trouble will come your way so thats all I ever use.

Large chunk of the PA Ave bike lane blocked starting around 5th. I can’t swear to it, but it sure looks like zebra installation. There was nothing there yet, but it looked like they had drilled some good sized holes where the bollards used to be.

They are installing flushed mounted flexposts. Basically the same as before but easier to maintain. Zebras later……hopefully.

I like the Cinelli. The headwinds not so much, though on some level I’m sure I deserved it.

Man, I really like that.

Man, I would love this. However, 56cm is really my max size. Price seems I little too good to be true though.

Thanks everyone. Does anyone here actually own the Black Edition? Your thoughts would be hugely appreciated.

Hmm, I haven’t had any problems with still photos. Seems like a normal view to me, not fish eye. You can change the setting I think. I really like my gopro.

Yeah, I am looking at some of the pictures taken from the GoPro and they looking pretty good. If its to wide you can always crop them. Leaning Silver or Black now.

The still photos are pretty crappy though since they’re all super wide angle. The video quality is top notch though, especially at 1080p.

That’s a good point. Still photos would be very wide angle and have the sort of fish-eye effect no matter how good the camera is (i.e. even with the Black Edition). Am I correct?

Hmm…..

I had the exact some thing happen to my Blinder 4V. Returned to it recently to the dealer and got a new one very quickly. Starting to question the durability of the rubber stuff though.

Re-hashing an old thread due to a great experience I recently had with Knog lights. A year ago I purchased a Knog Blinder 4V pulse rear light. I really love this light. It is VERY bright, has many blinking choices, charges by simply plugging into an available USB port, charge lasts forever, and it doesn’t require an additional mount so it can easily be transferred between bikes. My only concern for some users is that it only mounts to your seat post, so if you do not have much seat post showing or you have a large seat bag it might not work well for you. For me, it works great on all my bikes.

SO, a few weeks back I noticed that the rubber clasp was ripping, and not long after the clasp broke completely rendering the whole unit pretty useless (I zip tied it on to my post temporarily). A quick email to customer support with a picture of the culprit and before I knew it a brand new one arrived in the mail… no other questions asked. The new clasp looks a little beefier and some additional instructions are provided to help explain the best way to attach the light. All in all a pretty cool experience.

Gotta say it… I love a company that stands behind it’s product… well done to those Aussies for designing a great light and a company with integrity!

Another recommendation for the Thomson X4 stem.
