Jealous yours works. The battery on my 1st gen 2gb bloated and killed the screen. But apparently there was a recall on them years before, so I sent it in to apple and they sent me a 7th gen 16gb, which I still use. At the time it just felt like an upgrade, but now I kind of wish I just fixed the 1st gen

Even then, I think this is going to be a tough sell, even for pros. Or when they’re forced to wear them, they’ll complain about them a lot for the first couple seasons. But then it will actually save a life and it’ll shut them up. But will probably never be commonplace in amateur or recreational cycling.
Only thing I can think of is the ridiculously loud free hubs that are way too popular on high end bikes now. Still way quieter than their beloved Aussie v8s, barras, etc
