Loving the Clem Jr!!

[Ron Frazelle]

Hi all, 

Just thought I'd pop in and let you know that my Clem Smith Jr L is probably one of the best riding bikes I have ever owned. I have a smidge over 300 miles since I picked it up in mid-November! That's it. 

It's pretty wonderful.

I agree that Clem L's ride so nice! How do you track miles? I'm looking to buy a GPS unit so I can use it on any bike I ride so I'll get cumulative miles not just per bike.

@Doug I am not the OP but I just use apps on my phone. Strava or RideGPS. My phone plus a quadlock mount is the best GPS system out there. Depending on the app you can assign rides to certain bikes but still see cumulative miles. I have quadlock mounts on all of my bikes.

[Doug H.]

Johnny, that may be the easiest and least costly solution. I wasn't sure how much battery drain but I'll give it a try. Now I just need to order a quadlock.

Make sure to spy the Quad Locks for motorcycles, too. We have lots of room on our big swoopy Riv bars so you can use the bar mount instead of bike stem mounts they sell.

I use a Wahoo Elemnt ROAM. It uploads automatically to Strava. And I use a K-Edge time trial computer mount. It goes on the bars that are out front on a TT bike, so it has the 22.2 clamping size that fits the bars on my Clem. Works great.

Quadlock or not, I too like the simplicity (= "Do not duplicate electric devises praeter necessitatem) of using my many-gens-old iPhone to track miles and routes, and I heartily recommend Cyclemeter, free version, which I've used for 6-7 years. I tried Strava and didn't like it for some reason (too long ago to remember why), and I've tried other apps but Cyclemeter seems to be the nice balance between information provided and hassle of use. 

The big benefit of phone apps for cycling like Cyclemeter is that you can have just one electric device for as many bikes as you like; no need for a separate computer for each bike.

And forget Quadlocks; this is the reason God invented rear jersey pockets.

Here is a shot of my cockpit. You can see the mount and computer on the left of the stem. Very clean. I have a Wahoo mount on all of my bikes so I just use the one computer for it all. I deferentiate the bikes on the Strava app.

I haven't worn a jersey in 15 years and the world thanks me. Baggy t-shirts, baby! 👕

[Patrick Moore]

Chest pockets -- wool knit jersey, of course -- are where it's at, baby.

I second the Cyclemeter suggestion. I was given a tip that if you operate it in airplane mode it saves battery use. Also, you can set it to automatically upload to Strava with the paid subscription which I highly recommend. And you can upload routes as well though I have not tried to do so yet. I did the back pocket thing for a long time - I finally got the quad lock and it’s pretty great even though it does disturb the “clean” cockpit.
