Answering my own question...Yes It Can: https://blog.wahoofitness.com/elemnt-adds-varia-radar-support/ https://cyclingtips.com/2019/08/wahoo-updates-elemnt-gps-firmware-now-varia-friendly/...

Back story: Wife was in a catastrophic crash last year, fractured her C2 vertebrae, had emergency spine surgery which fused C1-4. She'll permamently have restricted range of motion in side-to-side rotation ...and yet she wants to get back on the bike. (Eventually.) We're modifying her cockpit...

I have a couple sets of wheels w/ DT460 rims. No complaints, and if I needed another pair I'd use them again. ...that is, if DT stiill makes them. Seems like every time I need a new wheelset DT has "upgraded" their rim models and so it's actually rare for me to have two sets w/ the same rims on...

Hooray! finally Cycling Forums can compete with Bike Forums.net for epic troll pissing-match drama. Took long enough; this site used to be nothing but newbs asking the same three guys for advice on "What Do You Think Of This (insert name of product, accomplishment, or sales pitch)?" Thanks for...

It's the ones who don't need tools to break bike chains that you need to worry about!

Markleeville Death Ride has a total of 15,000' of climbing: You go from ~5,000' to ~8,000' each time you do one of those five climbs.

Don't quote me on this, I just got this tidbit from another internet cycling forum, but it was suggested that if you're looking at SIDI and decide their regular models aren't wide enough, don't just switch to the "Mega" version, but also go up one size. So iow if you normally wear a size 44...

"Average Pace" is for average people.

Irrespective of whether or not it's wise to want to obsessively flush everything out from your chain ...you might want to try removing the chain from the bike and - putting it in an ultrasonic cleaner filled with a citrus degreaser; then - flush it with a water displacing agent (aka, WD-40)...

Next month I'm doing the Triple Bypass

All of my bikes have a pump clipped to the frame and a saddlebag containing (2) spare tubes, a pair of tire levers, & a multitool strapped to the saddle. Never leave home without them.

Are you replacing the Rival crankset with a Red crankset? If so, you should grease the new spindle bolt. Or, are you re-using the existing (2012) Rival crankset? If so, you should remove, grease, and reinstall the existing (2012) spindle bolt.

Thread drift: The best reason imho for putting the valve stem at the label is for when you get a flat: Once you've found the hole in the tube you now know exactly where to look on the tire for that piece of glass, metal, etc. E.g., if the hole in the tube is at the 3 o'clock position relative...

Aren't Bell & Giro owned by the same company?

OP, you may be asking the wrong question. Rather than "What color headlight for best night vision?" consider "What color eyewear lenses for best night vision?". There's far more research and empirical studies that support that approach, going back to the early part of the 20th Century.
