I guess the thread has been hi-jacked by Table Tennis! :) haha. Yeah - I really love Table Tennis too, and even had a TT robot to practice with. At one time I played competitively - I know kind of hard to believe - "Larry competitive" - but there was a time when I was younger and had more...

I might call the Stages folks directly. I have heard that they are willing to work with folks that don't fit into the mold. Certainly won't cost anything to ask.

I was really curious about this when I got my first Cruzbike - a Silvio, but I was not able to find much to point me in that direction. I just started riding ultras and kind of forgot about it.. :( In my view it will take some custom machining to make it work, but it would be sweet not to have...

Yeah, but make no mistake - I would also like to move to Redding too - Rick, maybe build some kind of bikers-bunkhouse nearby for us all.

Thanks Bob, Lief. I have ridden the KICKR for 5+ hours just with the Wahoo app as my display - basically looking at wattage, HR, cadense. However I was listening to music. There might be a little bit of art to it, but having a goal, a workout to follow, something to occupy the mind really helps...

Ratz, Thanks for your detailed analysis of all the Q-rings power data, and also Regular rings too. It looks like we both ended up with "about" the same conclusion: That the KICKR appears to record a higher wattage output than "other" power meters. My Vectors seem to be more off than your Stages...

What a haul Charles! Great job and great pictures!

Regular Q-rings testing complete: My conclusions and spreadsheet at the bottom if you don't want to read all of this Here are my 2 tcx files from my "Reegular" Q-rings power testing comparing the power readings from my TrainerRoad program using KICKR for the power with my Garmin file using...

Hey Bob, Wahoo did not send me a new firmware version, they just said it was available (version 1.1.3.32). I connected my I-pad up to the KICKR and it said there was an update - I OK'd the download and it installed. Had to toggle the Bluetooth on and off on the I-pad, and then cycle the power on...

That is the little "pod" of the Garmin Vector Pedals. Holds that battery and transmitter I suspect. No - not pedaling from the middle of my arch, however my toes are pretty much pointed straight up when I pedal. Little odd, but that's the way I do it. :)

I don't know if I'd be willing to spend this kind of money on something just to be cool -I'm too cheap for that! ;) In my experience the Q-rings really do smooth out the pedal stroke and get the most out of your power stroke. I did not have a power meter to test on when I got them, so do not...

Can't wait to see some pictures of them on the V when you get them back!

Great choice and Congrats - we'll all be eager to see you with it!

Very nice

Bob, nice "present" for Mrs. Rats. I've been watching her workouts and her progression through the winter. Her progress is nothing short of incredible. That recent set of power intervals - almost hitting 300 watts, and pushing her HR to 175! wow. All I can say - now that she's going to have a...

I am currently doing some power meter testing now. I think my Q-rings are making my Garmin power readings low. I keep re-calibrating everything for every ride, and I am seeing up to 20% lower readings. It is really frustrating. Does anyone else have a KICKR trainer (or other power trainer)...

Here's my latest attempt at speed and downhill form "practice" (Strava said I hit 52mph, but Garmin VIRB only had me at 50), although my downhill form is nothing compared to Bob's. (No one-handed riding here either) I also pretty much had the death grip due to heavy gusts and cross-winds making...

it's like the circle of life - or - what is old is new again. I guess that's why my wife has all these 20-30 year old clothing in her closet - eventually they will be back in style. Me - Blue jeans and tees shirts just never go out of style! ;)

Not sure, but I don't think anyone has mentioned the "theory" of drivers appearing to fixate on objects and lights they are coming towards and actually unconsciously steering towards them. Could me an urban myth, but I sure have seen a bunch of video of HP guys stopped on the side of the road...

Thanks for that image Jeffrey - I must share it with my wife over dinner tonight!
