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.

toad strangler rains?

Come on down to Newport Beach, it probably won't rain again until September or October
