I prefer to mount on the front bonet, that is if possible.
Belakang- scared kiss from behind, a minor one will endup with considerable damage.
On top-scared of clearance, tree branches la, smart tag lane cause of involuntary steering action.
For me, just lump it on my vehicle back seats. You dun want to hang your loves one outside and on top right because too dengerous... Just to confuse you a bit, welcome newbie thumbup.gif

i sked u not kena bang from behind... u bang in front cos kenot see getting blocked by the bike on your bonnet... worst still, the bike fly forwards and perform a 720 somersault through the air and then perform a world record attempt of maximum barrel rolls over the road for you to see...

there is logical reasons why this hasn't been done yet...

cadence/gradient come together with the speedometer. just sell ur cateye and get a new one with cadence/gradient features.

maybe this?

Go this today in my post box. The 4mm longer axle pedal for my odd feet position and to prevent my shoe rubbing with the crank. Came with blue cleat too but i will still be using yellow cleat.

anything that tickles your fancy will do lar... miao already taruh his poison mar... if you have to balls to go further.. get the color version edge 800...

what to consider with your cateye... not like it can be upgrade by plugging in extra modules....find some water fish and see it away while it is still worth dua kupang...

even if you are not worried about safety.. i still doubt if you have enough strength to tighten the pedal compared to a pedal wrench...and you didn't grease the threads... bring it back to shop and ask them to grease and reinstall it for you...

still, get them to tighten it up... a less than 10 cm allen key will not produce the same torque as a 0.5m pedal wrench...

if it comes lose, you risk un-threading your crank arm...

Thank you Miao and Butt Kor, when buying, we pay in gold, worth 2 grams, now to push to the waterfish, worth 2 kupang = 20 quids? I think my cateye will go to my museum or on my spare bike.

I remember reading, it cost a nucleur bomb for the Power watt reading, abunden I saw top salesman brows.gif with the screenshots, I was ..eh rclxub.gif this not suppose to happen, rite! Anyway is it the "Edge 500"? Veli important must have gradient reading ho?

Maybe I have to live with bread and air koson for the rest of the month to ge it.

yes, edge 500. and it has gradient data. and of course u will need to survive on bread and plain water for many months. but it's worth it.

because skimping on bike stuff purchases is too mainstream.

tat is why... dun ask for wat u cant afford... miao is very heavy handed on this...

yes tat is the edge 500, it is the defacto standard now... gps logging, alti, hr, speed, distance, user configurable display, ant+ support all in for a sweet 1k with some loose change for a mcvalue meal...

else the sigma has one tat has alti, speed, distance, hr but no gradient calculations for a handier rm400+

edge requires constant charging while the sigma uses coin batts tat last around 8months to a year

as i say, it depends if gradient makes sense to you, much like hr...if u dun find a use for it...why go out of the way to get it... i dun even wear hr strap now even i have it... neither do i watch the gradient reading as well... just need it to track my trip climbs

sell an edge with srm crank wan bonus already, sell a cervelo r5 california i mah shop also have to give u?

torque wrench tak da guna for pedal, it needs brute force and thise force usually exceeds the 5nm torque of carbon parts... u end up have to buy 2 torque wrench... 1 for big torque and the other for smaller more finer scale... will cost a bomb

pedal wrench can tighten easily with long handle and less risk of messing the octagon hole on the pedal with this much force...

save wat lar... there is such thing as installments nowadays bro

call 755 2525 to check it out...
