These tyres to go on this very slow Single Speed build project.

 

EDIT: I was told in no uncertain terms by that "Chewie Toy Guy" that the logo needs to line up with the valves, but when this pic was taken it was to only ensure the tyre fits into the rear of the bike ... so all necessary protocol will be adhered to with respect to tyre / valve alignment!

Second hand buy from a Hubber. Used to the Garmin interface, but this GPS is solid. 

 

If anyone knows where i can get an out-front mount (not online, brick and mortar shop), I would appreciate a recommendation! From the research I've done, better mapping than Garmin middle-range products, so it seemed attractive for Maluti and RTTS. Next will be their "smart" lights, but that's for another day.

Not cycling related but will make watching my collection of riding films more enjoyable...

Sonos Beam.

Picked it up in Aus for about R2000 less than we pay in New Zealand. It would have been wasteful if I didn't buy it  :ph34r:

 

EDIT: Holy Crap! I thought the NZ price was bad typically about R6500 - R7000 equiv here). I see in SA they're around R8500. Crazy! So yeah, the R4900 odd I paid was not bad indeed.

I've been tthhhiiisss close to buying one. Using it as the front TV speakers (naturally) and then using my two Play 1s as rear speakers. How does it sound and should I be more enthusiastic in buying one?

hahah, well now is a good time. Harvey Norman and JB Hifi both have the Beam for around 505 AUD and Play: One 2nd Gen's for about 254 AUD. If I wasn't concerned about trying to get my Ikea stash back to NZ, I too would have gone the 1x Beam and 2x Play:One route.

 

As for sound, I have yet to use it. I got home from the airport at 1:30am, so have only set it up.

 

Also, if you have a King Living smart couch (or are in the market for a new couch), King Living make special brackets for the Sonos One/Play/SL that run the cables neatly and utilize the couch's power. The big boy home cinema style couch has a special place for the Sonos sub too. King Living also sell other accessories that run off the couch power like wireless charging side tables, reading lamps etc.

 

I have the Delta II couch (like so, but without the wireless charging side table thing)

Then ultimately the speakers will be mounted like this:

(here's the Sonos bracket on the home cinema couch)

(this is where the sub goes)

 

 

Not the kinda couches you put your bike on for photos... if you value your life :lol:

 

But yeah, I digress and am ashamed to admit that my couch (and the fact that a large part of my home is automated with Google Assistant) prompted my decision on the Sonos setup  :ph34r:
