Boxed cycling stuff
Spare tube stuff #
After that puncture last Sunday, I repaired the tube (and posted a photo). What I didn’t realise was that the nail had done more damage than just punching one hole. Long story short, the tube was damaged beyond repair and I was out of patch kits.
I had no spare tubes left. So, I immediately placed an order for four Conti Race tubes and a patch kit. Mastermind Bicycle Studio were prompt in delivering them. Here they are:
Apparently Park Tools has collaborated with 3M for the adhesive technology used in GP-2.
The good part is that these tubes are compatible with 700x25c tyres in case I decide to swap my 700x23c’s.
Borrowed Mobius stuff #
One of my colleagues, Dhananjay Deshmukh (a tech enthusiast in general and an aspiring ham radio operator in specific), lent me his Mobius Actioncam so that I can mount it on my cycle handlebar and shoot some footages of my weekend rides.
The camera has a base mount and an USB connector. There are some tidbits inside but they are of no use for me. Dhananjay threw in some zip ties that came handy.
I had the mount of my stolen bike light. I unscrewed the top channel. And lo and behold! I was left with the nicest bike mount for the Mobius cam. Two zip ties did the rest of the job.
I mounted it on the handlebar and took some sample videos. The quality is pretty good. I will swap out Dhananjay’s 2 GB MicroSD card with a spare 16 GB one lying somewhere in my boxes. That would give me some extra minutes of footage.
From L to R: Mako Night Rider bike light mount, Cateye Strada Slim and Mobius on a Planet Bike lamp mount.
