Power Meters / Powermeters (SRM, Powertap, Quarq, Ergomo, Vector, Stages, power2max, P2M, 4iii, InPower, Cinch)

Confirmation bias then- I was clicking around looking for something that showed a rise over time.

Whoops.

Neil.

Auto-zero is the arch enemy of accurate power data! Always turn off.

Glad you sorted it :)

Wiltshire Grand Prix. What it took to get round.

How much do you weigh? A few of my friends were racing there too, a few made the the break, some got dropped, two made the podium. As per usual, Marcin smash.

skinny can't be weighed using normal scales. You count his atoms.

About 70kg.
Not that skinny. And not that good. First year stepping up at this level so just getting round is my main goal.

Marcin is super strong! Clearly on very good day, making late move and then still having enough left. Also no lunge and beat dean!! Ha.

Has this been discussed? Measures L/R separately, just saw it on the twitters.

Yes.

In other News. Any Vector users get a low battery warning every time the temp drops? My mates get upset everytime its below 5C. Which is often when you're doing Nordic mountains. Garmin are being crap about it, as usual.

Yeah seen that on vector forums.

Garmin are frustrating feckers for such a large Company. He had Chain - battery cover clearance issues too. With both Record, and DA cranksets. WTF?

Hes has electrical tape over the pods to show any rub.

I can't believe people would ever use Garmin's aviation products if they first were made to live with cycling product. But £200 for Tamigotchi levels of technology seems like a nice little earner.

My Edge 500 buttons are wearing away to nothing and I don't think that rubber bezel is replaceable :(

^too many laps. Literally.

Most of the garmin pro's are still training on the rotor power cranks.. Says it all really.

This is your mate with the BMC and crappy cable runs? Sounds like he needs a normal frame with outoboard cable runs, a powertap and some mechanical dura ace

That seems to run counter to everything you hear about Garmin (UK), who send out replacement GPS units about as freely as Wiggle send out Haribo.

The shifting is fine now With Di2. We both suspect a worn lever working with a less than idea cable run.

Really?

I think hes in contact with Garmin - Denmark. I'll recomend the UK Office to him.

My past experience with Garmin (UK) has always been as Tester describes... very quick and easy. I've had 2 no-questions-asked replacement units for broken screens when I dropped mine.

Was that in warranty period or out? My screen is also cracked..

It is 2.5 years old though. And was a freebie from Strava.

You get a replacement. My 705 cost me £82. Bought on here.

I think you've kind of got that the wrong way round.

Low levels of technology in aviation are pretty standard (look at MH370) because new technology is expensive to adopt and potentially unreliable: in short, risky.

The difference between aviation Garmin users and cycling Garmin users is that aviation Garmin users get weeks/months of training in how to use anything inside a cockpit, whereas cycling users get no manual (except on the device, lol) and no help.

I've always thought that the poor UX/user unfriendliness of Garmin's products comes down to their background in aviation where things don't have to be easy to use or intuitive.

^ I read in the aftermath of MH370 that developing a new airline passenger seat can run into $100Ks, because of how stringent the testing is. Not sure if amazing or ridiculous - suppose the two are not mutually exclusive!
