or use your phone?

phones are really bad at that stuff tho

if you really want something like bike computer then garmin 20(or 25 if you need those ant+ sensors) (around 100 usd iirc) (alternatives are Lezyne models and giant neos)

the "no nonsense" option is most likely something like cateyes velo for 30 usd or so

sadly "not too botnet" comes only with money

not that you need to connect any of those things to internet

(or let the apps connect internet on some cases)

@Tervy got any links for said gps anti gibs trackers?

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/VJOYCAR-Bike-GPS-Tracker-For-Flower-Drum-Dynamo-Supports-Riding-Rechargeable-GSM-SMS-Tracking-Anti-Theft/32888013469.html? as example

disclaimer i dont know how bad the apps/pcb/etc on those are all i know they exist and have worked at least twice successfully on same bike

also consider local laws about tracking unsuspecting people etc

amazons offer https://www.amazon.com/certified-rechargeable-wireless-electric-control/dp/B074GCKS3Y

other good countermeasure as theft prevention is https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Anti-Theft-Vibration-Motorcycle-Waterproof/dp/B0734QN8KR these kind of litle things

glued and/or ziptied under the sadle if possible

they are loud as fuck and trigger on vibration

(tho they will trigger if the bike falls over/somebody kicks it/etc

them having remote also makes it good toy to sit on cafe and spook people walking on street next to your bike

yeah for theft @Matthew

Hello fellow chinks

welcome

*to hell*

Getting a soldering iron from Ali
Yay or Nay?

there's some good ones

TS80/TS100, T12 clone off the top of my head

I'll check those out

the former are plug and play mostly, but you need to provide a power supply yourself

the latter is usually with a built in PSU but you need to get a decent one and/or do mods to it (which require another soldering iron) like properly grounding it

>73 eurobux

it has pretty much 0 competition in what its supposed to be

so yes, they can charge $70+

even a soldering iron is usb c now but fucking bluetooth speakers? noooooooo

Normies can't into USB C

But people that are using soldering irons, are most likely competent enough to understand how to USB C

if you are looking for a non portable, option, I have this and uses the t12 tips that are internally heated cartridges in hakko irons. Heat up time is really good. Gets to 350c in less than 5 secs for sure

KSGER does sell already completed kits if you dont want to DIY it too

yeah that's the second option i mentioned

i got it from the same store and mine wasn't grounded

neither the case nor the tip

the case not being grounded can be bad for your health
