    I just use a tiny bit of contact cement (tin from Amazon).

    For removal I take off the bezel. From the under side I get a guitar pick / blunt knife and can pry between the bezel and insert. If I use too much adhesive I’ll dip a cotton bud in some isopropyl and dab between the bezel and insert, that softens it a bit.

    Thanks. I ordered a complete headset/bearing direct from Acros in my rush before doing research over Easter weekend.

    It’s about the same price from Kinetic Bearings anyways. I’ll just have to wait a bit longer.

    Anyone have a spare Acros upper headset bearing?

    Mines for some apparent reason has seized up on my 2 year old canyon ultimate. I believe it’s a 44x35x5,5 bearing.

    Just to keep me running until my headset order from Germany gets through/delivered in a weeks time.

    Yep, I’ve been running the Raceware wahoo and GoPro mount for the H31 on my CP10 cockpit.

    Embarrassingly clipped the newish bike lane curbs on Park Lane/Hyde Park and went flying whilst going home in the evening on Christmas Day.

    Destroyed my front wheel and my dignity.

    The bracelet has solid end links.

    It’s similar to a Omega Seamaster bracelet having fully articulate 5 piece links.

    Having sized it now, it’s very comfortable and will remain on the watch. I really wasn’t expecting this and was going to put it on their nato that I added as an additional extra.

    New watch day!!!
    Just took delivery of this Maen diver which will be my new daily work watch. Met my requirements of a small/thin diver.

    • It was a surprise the bracelet is screw link rather than push pins as suggested on reviews. I’ll keep it on the bracelet for time being rather than the included custom rubber or nato.

    The new 40mm case does actually have a larger crystal as it press fits into that low profile bezel unlike the SKX series where the crystal is press fit into the case.

    I want to get one but I’m waiting for modders to play around with theirs so I know what double dome sapphires are on the market.

    Got the Veloflex Masters from Bike24 during a sale a few weeks back.

    I’ve only rode Vitorria’s current Corsas and the tread on the rear wheel would wear out by 200km.

    It became an expensive habit so went back to back to GP4000s. From what I understand the Corsa Controls has the same rubber compound as the Corsas but just thicker. May give them a go if I ever find a deal on them.
