    NCX Seatpost with Garmin Varia radar?

    Hi, does anyone use both of the above? Where do you mount the radar, as you can no longer fix it to the seatpost? It's a standard quarter turn Garmin mount, so I'm thinking maybe something that attaches to the seat rails, or a "riser" mount that fixes on the seatpost below the suspension unit...

    Adding security/killswitch to Cube bike

    Is there a way to electrically immobilise my bike when I'm not near/on it? I'm thinking some sort of proximity sensor, or hidden kill switch. Would be good if the display was coded and removable, but I don't think the Purions are?
