2022-0824 Maintenance Log - new computer, new derailluer

 Received the $40 "Coospo" GPS/Ant+ Cycling computer, learned to program it, synced up Wahoo TickR HR and Garmin Cadence/Speed Ant sensor. Seems fine so far, BUT most notable observation is the device is physically HUGE, like 4x the size of a Garmin 500. Hilarious. Readablity looks good, I hope the backlight will turn itself off in the dark.


Task 2 was installation of a new Shimano 12speed MT8100? rear derailleur. I was bummed that the device looks exactly like the one its replacing, I hope the internals are improved. New casing and cable too, of course.
