If the device in the picture is yours - there's a firmware update for it here. If you don't have a Windows PC of course you're SOL.

Ooops – clearly my eyesight is as mole-like as my memory is elephantine. I say get wider handlebars

I think that’s what mr Wanderers was recommending (further up). Personally, I think I should probably just be a bit more choosy about my bike toys…

Ever one to drag up things from my elephantine memory… would something like this -> http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Minoura_Space_Grip_SG2_Handlebar_Extension/5300001170/ help your handlebar real-estate issues?

I didn’t know such a device existed until about 3 minutes ago.

Unfortunately the air horn screw has corroded and can’t now be undone, so it’s stuck where it is. Plus the bell needs a bit of room round the side where the lever is. And the light bracket got superglued on (long story, in my other blog) after I’d had the second one stolen in the space of a year.

Ah London, I don’t miss you a bit

I reckon you could have a reshuffle there and gain space. Would the airhorn fit between the bell and the gear change?

(I’m new back to cycling so I don’t have quite the same issue as you (only bell, speedo & light on at this point, although I may shift the light to the stem instead – perhaps the GPS might move there in your case?).

Well, there’s still Bigtown, plus who knows where I may end up…

Do you still cycle in the urban environment, or is your idea of urban now anything with more than 2 houses within 1 miles of each other?

Err… *frantically googles mixte* yes, it is…

The bell is for rural use (don’t frighten the horses) whereas the air horn is needed for the urban environment, so I’m keeping them separate for now.
