News, product pages, technical briefings, and historical backgrounders are renewed and re-organized to give customers quick access to the information they are looking for.
Online customer support is improved, with a new product registration program that offers a free extra year’s warranty on some products in addition to the statutory EU 2-year warranty.
The website is presented in both English and Italian.

Tate Labs offers alternative Garmin computer mount
NOVATO, CA (BRAIN) Tuesday April 10 2012 11:14 AM MT—Tate Labs is offering a handlebar mount to fit Garmin's Edge 200, 500 and 800 GPS bike computers. Tate's Bar Fly mount positions the computer ahead of the stem, similar to the position of the SRM power meters head units used by many pro racers. The position frees up handlebar space and allows the rider a better view of the screen.
The product is made in the U.S. of Delrin and fits 31.8 mm handlebars. It retails for $39.95.
