Rode over to Eurosports today and the service mgr said it looks like the
sender that's leaking, so he's going to order one and let me know when
it gets in later this week.  He advises not riding the bike till they
swap it out, but I dunno, it was high 60s here today and might break 70F
tomorrow.  That may be too good to pass up.

Laters,
