I've had an Avocet model 50 for about 18 months. I haven't replaced the 
batteries in this time. However I've only had the cadence option attached
for about 3 months. The altimeter is good during a given day but is not 
stable from day to day or longer periods. i.e. needs recalibrating. This is
easy (just go somewhere you know the height of and adjust the computer to that
height) but would probably be irritating for touring etc. In New Zealand the
weather seems a little to variable for it as well. Often I'll ride into a 
rainstorm and my height will drop by 200 ft. Worrying if you're near sea
level already !! However on days when the weather is stable the altimeter
seems quite accurate.

Rema patches are available in bulk boxes, I think it's 100

Yes, I wondered if that switch might have been part of the reason I had

The body responds very differently to sugar intake *during* exercise.
Blood sugar levels stay much more constant during exercise, so eating
simple sugars during exercise will probably not cause your blood sugar 
level to rise too high, which could trigger an insulin response.

Eating sugars *before* a ride causes an insulin response in *some*
cyclists, which prevents the body from effectively burning the sugars
in the bloodstream.

In summary, don't worry so much about eating sugar during a ride, but
some cyclists need to be careful about sugar immediately before the ride.

I just tried a radical new "powerbar", and I think they're going
to make it big time!  They seem to be available at almost any
supermarket, and have a nice, light, natural flavor.  I understand
they're high in potassium, also.  They're bigger than the average
powerbar, but a lot easier to eat, because they have been designed
to be a lot softer.  This requires that they come packaged in a
somewhat bulky, padded wrapper, but it is easy to open with your
teeth on the bike, and is totally biodegradable.  However, it's
only available in one flavor, and the packages are distinctly
low-tech yellow.

They're also a lot cheaper than any of the other powerbars on the
market.... not to mention they taste great sliced on your morning
cereal!

I think they're really on to something!

Every mountain biker I have met who use the Tioga tensioned string disk
wheel says it absorbs a noticable amount of shock.  You are assuming
that all of the flex is in the rim as opposed to in the "disk".
If it makes you feel superior to scoff at the experience of other cyclists,
go ahead - it in no way makes your viewpoint any more correct than
the cyclists who find the Tioga disk does help absorb shock.

    Go to any big Tandem ride, and you will see lots of them.  On a
tandem the stoker cannot watch the road if front of the bike, so if the
captain does not call out all the bumps, it is a BIG pain in the ass!
After getting a Hydra post, I have quit calling out all but the biggest
bumps.  The little ones do not make any difference to the stoker.  The
only disadvantage is the good ones are heavy.

Such a saddle pillar will not just increase your effective top tube
length, it will also place you further behind the pedals and it will
probably adversly effect weight distribution.  You will not have a
good bike fit until you optimize both your saddle/pedal orientation
and your saddle/handlebar distance.  If your top tube is so short that
you have to go to such extreme measures to keep from being scrunched
up than you eventually will need to look into a new bike or frame.
Using a saddle pillar that allows you to position your seat further
back may make your poorly fitting bike more ridable but it is not the
best solution.

I need to get a set of 177.5mm Dura Cranks.  Anybody have some
for sell?

Thanks,
Cliff
