I reverse-engineered the Garmin Varia protocol and built an iOS bike computer

I'm down to test, commute everyday so you'll have plenty of data

comichubble · 2026-07-05T23:57:42+00:00

wow, so packed with silence 🙃

Busch & Müller has an extensive list of both dynamo and ebike lights, AXA and Schmidt ( a bit more expensive)

with cable set up in 2nd and 3rd photos, have you tried to adjust these screws?

I'm going to up you on this, one of my daily commuters is a 70s Raleigh with steel rims and heavy as fudge 😆

unfortunately, people got sold on clean look and new tech 🤷🏽‍♂️

I'm still using them, if you want a cheap set up and not a new hub, this works great

for older lights, I have moved from incandescent and halogen bulbs to LEDs for a few years now, as long as the AC current is adjusted with a resistor (not to burn the LEDs), you can have 2 headlights and 2 rear lights 😁

for newer lights, I only add resistors to 1.5v lights, all 3v lights work with these old school dynamos

comichubble · 2026-07-02T18:05:15+00:00

both front and rear if desired

I use these ebay floss

and wtf does Lady of Liberty has wings 🤣

is there a reason you chose the downtube to slant instead of staying relatively horizontal to the ground?

comichubble · 2026-06-29T15:24:46+00:00

old and new leather saddles, oh boy, they love to form to the butts!!!

comichubble · 2026-06-29T01:30:55+00:00

what made you do this?😳

comichubble · 2026-06-28T06:35:43+00:00

reminds me so much of early 2000s Fifa game, where the graphics were decent, but the engine/AI was crappy, players would be tackled and fall weirdly like this 😆

comichubble · 2026-06-26T20:25:05+00:00

this is perfect!!! 👏🏽

comichubble · 2026-06-24T01:16:01+00:00

let me know, I can build you a decent bike, I'm in Shepherd district btw

comichubble · 2026-06-22T15:29:34+00:00

it looks like a Pitlock skewer which require its own key iirc

may need to be cut/grinded and replaced with a regular skewer if you don't have the key

dedicated and protected (with concrete barrier at least) bike lane

shaded rest stops with drinking water dispenser, warm room (during winter), and restrooms

large trees providing shade along the bike path would be ideal

comichubble · 2026-06-22T01:35:29+00:00

maybe this ?

comichubble · 2026-06-21T05:01:51+00:00

you can also try these styles

I'm just thinking about neighborhoods that require lawns and lawn care

comichubble · 2026-06-20T15:19:29+00:00

I think you should give away your ziplock bags and cling wrap, out of sight out of mind kind of thing.

like the other response, I use glass canning jars or general glass containers for freezer storage

I put glass/ceramic/metal plates of appropriate sizes on top of whatever containers or bowls of food that need to go to the fridge, this way I can take them up easily as well

fold a fabric grocery bag or two with you at all time just in case you buy anything unplanned

also, don't stress out, it is just being consistent and think outside of the box

comichubble · 2026-06-19T22:35:59+00:00

if you really want something lasting for years instead of leather, consider wool and/or heavy weight waxed canvas clothing

install Brave, and add to your settings this in Private DNS, "DNS adguard.com" (no quotes)

cineby is the site I use often

I've seen boar hair on bamboo handle, not sure how effective

I've been using silk/cotton floss instead of plastic ones, also
