    I think the solution to this problem is embedding the tag into the frame in such a way that removing it would be destructive or at least highly impractical. That’s my plan at least. Waiting for my Chipolo trackers to arrive.

      How would you do that, and what’ll you do when it runs out of battery?

      Embedding it also reduces range by a lot. Gplama did a test

        I haven’t done any designs yet. I’m thinking about the steerer tube. It’s carbon so it shouldn’t impede the RF. Another option is somewhere within the saddle. Or maybe inside a reflector, on the wheel or otherwise. Possibly within a pedal, depending on the style of pedals. Or on the inside of a crank arm. Possibly epoxied to it. When the time comes for replacement, chisel it out of the aluminum, epoxy another one. 🤷
