Travelling randomness that made my day: Talking cricket for 15 minutes with an Uber driver in Los Angeles. He was from Bangladesh and his favourite player was Michael Bevan. The man knew his cricket! 🏏👌🏼

In follow-up to the single unit testing here's some side-by-side testing of the Trek CarBack Radar up against the Bryton Gardia R300L and the Garmin Varia RTL515.

I'm giving this unit every opportunity to prove itself....

Further testing of the Trek CarBack today. Side-by-side with the Bryton Gardia R300L and Varia RTL515.

Results up soon. There's no surprises. It's on-par with the units.

240m? No. The ACCC would eat this alive if this wasn't such a niche product/market.

Not a full review in any way. Just a capture and talk-through of my testing today to follow-up on previous Tweets.

Today I put my money down and was keen to test claims of a significant improvement in technology I use on a daily basis.

What a total let down.

Trek CarBack with clear line of sight to traffic. Straight road. No obstructions.

Furtherest detection: 146m 🤔

Mount is garbage on an aero post too.

Yellow carding this device already.

Got one!

240km detection range and tested on a Garmin 1080 Solar. 🤦🏻‍♂️

BR typos aside... This looks to be the first radar in the ~76GHz range. It'll be interesting to see if that makes a difference.

Anyone know where to get one? The Trek webpage throws up a 404 on this. 🤷🏻‍♂️

GCN Tech with a useful high level overview of the issues with power meters and accuracy. They’ve done all but call out a particular company by name. The comments people are posting on the video fill in the gaps.

With an impressive screen-to-bezel ratio the iGPSport iGS800 has finally delivered the form factor everyone has wanted or years in a bike computer.

The question now being - Can iGPSport deliver on features and usability?
