The all new Atlas Pedal features a sleek new body design

That looks exactly like the old one, just hope the bearing sealing is improved so they don’t last a couple of hours of riding!

Don’t have an ebike, might never get one. Who knows?
Don’t have a bike computer. Had one once, might never get another one.
Don’t have a smartphone. Dumb builders phone, lives in a pouch on my bag strap. When I get a smartphone will probably buy a bigger pouch.
But that display mount, that’s proper ingenious. Nothing difficult, just a different way of thinking about things.
I do expect others to steal the concept.

That looks exactly like the old one

40 sheets each time for the rebuild kit. Never again.

Is that Ricky Gervais?

£27 for valves? When did that become a thing?

Positively good value…

Reserve Fillmore valves

Depressingly, not as recently as you might think.

Odd how much cheaper they are attached to an inner tube. Also who is ever going to use the spoke key valve cap? It’s the cycling equivalent of that thing for getting stones out of horses hooves or a leather needle on a pen knife.

I think it’s more that the valve core remover happens to work as a spoke key, not that someone thought that needed to be a thing.

@tomhoward looking at the images I think they’re distinct, so one cap does spokes, one does valve cores and I’m pretty sure my spoke keys wouldn’t fit a valve core.

Happy to be wrong but the only way I can see the core remover working on nipples is it was made the wrong size. Of course that could easily be the reason.

That’s funny, I was listening to the excellent Jack Pearson last night. If you want to hear more then here he is with slide guitarist extraordinaire Derek Trucks of Tedeschi Trucks Band. But it’s all about Jack Pearson’s playing so make some time cos it’s 31 minutes long:

£160 for pedals 😳……

That computer mount looks, if anything, even more vulnerable than out front. My knees come pretty close to the bars sometimes.

@fursty ferret

Having tested it, I can safely say that it is a lot less vulnerable than the on top of the bars mount. I had an OTB and the screen was entirely undamaged even though the bike went end over end.

fancy metal valve caps my arse… replaced my Rimpact ally caps with old plastic ones, after they seized on the valves. One of them unscrewed the valve core when i took the cap off, deflating the tyre!

Been a thing for ages. Got a crappy old steel 6-way one of these I use as a valve core remover. And occasionally a spoke key if I can’t find the Spokey.
