    questions about power meters?

    Those are all brand-new just released I don't think anybody can actually even get them yet. the forged aluminum ones come in sizes down to 165. For most of the sramm (who owns quarq) aluminum stuff outside of a apex is actually hollow example: rival and force aluminums were hollow and could...

    We run them on the front hubs and they are indeed a bear to mount so much so that I have one per wheel and don't move them. They have to be on the front no matter what you'll never pick the signal from the rear wheel on the road through your body. Now that said, do you need one with the Kickr...

    If using a Laptop and ANT+ dongle works best; and you can use ANT+ Sensors. The built in BT on most PC's rarely works and you would need a BT dongle so not worth it. Mac's work find with the build int BT. Android and iOS work well with BT. Yes I have codes, and no you can't combine the...

    Since we went down the training rat hole here is a very instructional graph. Notice the hard bend in the power graph downward. That's an athletes mFTP indicator. The cliff you can't avoid. Every single person's power graph has this shape. There are no exceptions that's just how it works. They...

    No worries, lots of info out there; lots of bad opinions; Mostly that's because it's a lot of info to digest; if I can distill it in a meaningful way then it helps everyone. I usually experiment on myself to make sure I know what I'm talking about. Much of what you see now is based on what we...

    Hi Ted, Big topic but here's some answers. TSS, IF, FTP and a host of other metrics are objective measures for planning workouts in a structured fashion. They allow us to scale workouts based on the fitness of a rider as measured by a power meter. These are all published measures from...

    Finish Carson (city blues). New FTP is still kicking my but. Blew out on interval 5 and had to finish out at 80-90%. Pretty much like last year week one sucks but hopefully will get around the corner by Tuesday. Next up shower and hopefully awake enough to actually register for the event. Yep...

    S30 buildup with Volae Comfort Carbon L seat.

    The Silvio forums were merged; same with the Vendetta ones. All the posts are still there; and they even have the same thread names so bookmarks into the brag forums would still work unchanged.

    Sure enough checked the website only ships with the full Kickr. That's lame if they can sell it profitably for $40 they could include it with the SNAP as well for little to no impact on the profits....

    There's a recipe for configuring the Garmin 1000 for following a route with turn by turn that's really reliable. It's a combination of the correct setting and the correct type of route file. If I get some time I'll document it. I had to scrounge the internet 2 years ago to find it and get it...

    Didn't they include an RPM with your Kickr? All the RPM's are now BT/ANT+ dual channel.

    Definitely a unique problem I always ran a 130mm drive wheel and never had a problem using the Supplied Skewers from Kinetic... Isn't this the one Jason is using? https://www.amazon.com/DT-Swiss-Tandem-Steel-Aluminum/dp/B00NCTFTIO
