REMINDER: battery changes, tune ups etc

I just got a flashing battery signal on my little yellow computer on Sunday. Just a reminder to change out batteries, final services, get race tires, latex tubes... anything else you need to do.

One more run and the second RR and we are then in to the taper.

Where do you all buy your Quarq batteries?

I get mine at rite aid CVS

Any recommendations on where to get latex tubes? I googled latex bike tubes without much success.

I bought mine on Amazon, but you better hurry if you want to ride on them once before the race. http://www.amazon.com/Vittoria-Latex-Tube/dp/B003LDKXT6

I ordered the same latex tubes from Amazon - from one of their third party sellers called BikeSomeWhere. I placed the order on July 3, and I did not get them until July 12, with expedited shipping! I would try another online seller!

Performance bike has latex tubes and ships very quickly. I haven't used latex yet. Maybe that's why I got passed so much on the bike at Vineman

Don't forget to delete history from bike computers and GPS watches, too! Don't want anyone running out of memory!

@Jess ... very good reminder!

on the Garmin 510 is it DELETE all RIDES?

and on the Garmin 310/9.. is it delete ALL activities?

@Tim - Thanks!

@Rob - You can quickly and easily Delete All (I do... I'm not a data junkie, though!) on both... or you can go through and select individual rides/runs to delete (time consuming!). Best is just to load everything up to whatever program you use and Delete All, IMO.

@ George - a little late to this but I got some latex tubes at Placid Plant last year should you not get the amazon order in time.. They had lots in stock on Wednesday when I arrived but don't know about later in the week.
