I'm hoping for no further unexpected purchases from now on after getting the bike back tonight after its visit to hospital. It looks beautiful again.jasonc wrote:I'm about the same.g-boaf wrote:Running total: Obscene!
The rear hub doesn't seem to freewheel as freely as the old one. It's a Bontrager RaceXLight hub by DT Swiss. It'll actually try to spin the pedals around slightly.

It's the quarter turn kit for the 310xt (part 010-11215-02, $25.00) plus the wrist strap (part 010-11215-01, $27.50).
Only thing to note is the Garmin ends up running along your arm not across like you would expect. Obviously makes no difference to the operation, it's just a bit more awkward to read while running.
Cheers,
Dave
