Headlight Upgrade 😳

Finally settled on a light to replace the Lectric Elite Headlight.

It's literally night and day! I was expecting a big upgrade but holy crap.

Lectric Elite vs. Fenix BC28R - both of the same unlit scene.

The Fenix costs 10 percent of the XP4 long range retail price but with replaceable 21700 cells it should theoretically last longer than me.

World Cup is over but the funky displays are still up. The XP4 looks funky too, I really like the way it looks!

GPS navigation driving me nuts...

Recently got an ebike to help me get out and about since I had to stop driving some years ago.

It's awesome but one thing that is keeping me from enjoying the experience is I keep getting lost!

Google Maps constantly gives me wrong or confusing directions, constantly getting lost and going in circles.

I thought maybe pedalling with the phone in my side pockets is missing up the sensors.

I tried putting my phone in my backpack and listening to the audio prompts but still the same issue. Just constantly rerouting me.

Even tried using my smartwatch with its own GPS and still the same thing.

Any ideas? It's a Samsung phone on the latest update.

Difficult to attach case to mount

I bought the Out Front Pro bicycle mount with the case for my Samsung phone.

What a terrible experience. It takes way too much effort to attach the phone to the mount.

Yes, I know you want your phone to be secured but this is overkill. It takes way too much effort.

The case itself is hard to remove too, feels like I'm going to break my phone. Maybe that's normal for cases but it means you can't use the case only when riding.

Oh, and I know someone will chime in shortly with "it's a user problem" so don't bother. I have seen others saying the same thing.

But it's nice I can spend more to change the colour of the plastic ring. 🙄

Kanken Mini vs Classic for taller folks?

I was looking for a good backpack for riding my bicycle around town.

Found the Kanken Mini and fell in love with it, so adorable.

Picked one up in the new green color but I think it's too small for me. The straps only work in the biggest size and it's still quite high and tight on my back, making it sit high and the plastic tabs rub into my back.

I'm 6 foot 2 inches and average weight but I fear the Mini won't work for me?

Should I just get the Classic? It doesn't have the adorable factor but it does come in the midnight purple color which is my fav.

Rear derailleur problem?

Been having a rough time getting my new XP4 to shift properly...

I guess this is my problem? The anchor bolt is tight but the entire assembly just pivots as shown in the video.

I went to adjust the B screw tension and noticed it does nothing because this is the state of the derailleur...
