Yup, added after I got home. Used the free Garmin VIRB edit software. Just have to merge the footage and .gpx navigation file together, then add the gauge overlay. Gotta press record and start both cam and Garmin unit at the same time, though.

If no garmin virb can use the software?

rubbish, no one will give a **** on what you riding. $20k bike,$15 k wheelset, no one give a damn

usually they will admire those who are strong, even though they riding norm bike.

that's the reason nowadays i don't talk about technical stuff, waste of time.

Any man who cant afford to be in the same league, would have reacted the same way

Then, don't fall down and be more careful.

can someone talk about bike storage? as many here.. i am hdb dweller.. and i have problem storing my bike in my room. do not want to put it in the living room as i afraid my mother might trip over it.

any diy way or simple way to store 'hanging on wall' type .. without much drilling? are those poles that i see reliable?

Inform family members or ppl you stay with about where you cycling to and roughly how long you will take.

Hi,

My current tyre is 700Cx35, I have 2 questions.

1. Which tyre is more puncture resistance?
2. Can I change my current tyre from 700Cx35 to 700Cx40 without changing the rim?


Thanks in advance.

Yup, can use any cam footage with the VIRB Edit software. But you'll have to press Start (on your Garmin Edge, for example) and Record on your cam at the same time, so that the footage and navigation etc data will be in sync.

Probably Continental tyres, avoid the race-type ones if you want better puncture resistance. Can change from 700Cx35 to 700Cx40 without changing rim, since both are 700C. Unless your rim specifies that max it can take is 700x35C. Best check if your bike frame and fork also has enough clearance for 40C tyres.

Schwalbe Marathons are the gold standard when it comes to puncture resistance.

As Theo says, you have to see whether or not your forks have enough clearance for such wide tyres. Don't know why you need such wide tyres, though.

Thanks Ironmac and TheoDR for the advice.

Same type of tire? I have been cycling about 200-400km a week for the past 7-8 years and I only have gotten one puncture during a ride. Or maybe I am just lucky.

I normally don't get puncture cause I don't ride in the gutter
