Here you go, I use it to route the wind port around my handlebar bag for touring. The only thing I don't like is that you need to remove the RWS from the Phone Booth to open the booth, which makes battery swaps a pain.

Hi Peter

Thanks for posting your photos, how do you find the RWS does it make your readings better as in more stable?
This is my RWS its a ET tube connector portex 7.5mm

i wanted to try a RWS but as i am in the uk it can be costly to get bits shipped over so i have found something that work for me, the 7.5mm end of the ET tube connector is flexable and shapes it self to the phone booth, i have done several rides now and i am finding my power readings much more stable as it can catch the air am pushing without obstuction from my bars or stem, and i can keep the iBike lower keeping the look of my bike how i like it.

i will post photos of this when i have tested it on my TT bike.

Want do you think!

I think I actually need to redo my calibration ride, even when I *know* I'm riding into a light headwind the dash is reading negative -- it takes a really strong headwind to read positive right now, but I did the cal ride with no handlebar bag and no RWS -- I mostly got the RWS to prevent water from entering the wind port when I ride home in the toad strangler rains we get here in N. Cal.
