Atonal Miserabilist (AFKA TRO) Mar 2017 3:05pm, 23 Mar 2017 14,559 posts	0 Atonal Miserabilist (AFKA TRO) I had a Tomahawk. Getting my first 5 speed racer was the crowning joy of my youthful cycling. Think it was a Carlton. Naturally the first upgrade was a pair of cowhorn handlebars. What I remember most was the fucking thing punctured all the time. My tubes ended up as much patches as the original rubber. Anyone remember fitting a dynamo? Slowed you down by about 5 mph in order to emit some feeble pale orange light....

Damn program has to be coaxed into working most days with ANT+ stick, and then tonight it's randomly uploaded everything on my watch so I have to unpick the double entries. How can a company make such good watches and fail miserbly to produce a decent bit of software?
