What power meter have you decided on?

Almost certainly a stages power meter. It's the least hassle and the most discreet as well as easily swappable between both my bikes and usable with my 3 wheelsets etc.

I'll probably get the slightly cheaper Stages Ultegra crank as it will mostly be used on the Ti, and I think you would be hard pushed to notice it on the offside of the R5 w/ DA cranks.
 
Planet X stuff arrived this morning, good quality stuff. Bargain for £17!
Tracking says that the Pearl Izumi jacket was out for delivery 8am this morning.. still waiting...
 
Post decidedly lacking in details. Spill...

SSCX; Cotic Roadrat with Sugino drive train, Velocity A23s on Hope Pro 2 Trials / Evo hubs and hydraulic disc brake stoppiness.

Never been an MTBer so never had hydro disc before and I've been looking forward to it. A group from BR are organising a semi regular CX ride from Richmond Park to Box Hill and back so I can't wait to try them out.

Just waiting for mudguards and lights. Looking forward to going out for a cruise when the weather improves a bit.

This ride of mine has been flagged on Strava, don't know why.

If one of you have the time can you please take a look and tell me what would make you flag it? http://www.strava.com/activities/83919044

Thanks

I'd try asking strava what reason they gave for flagging, nothing looks odd with it. Speeds look normal, you haven't stolen any KOMs with double the avg speed of the next best person. Any segments where you got a top 10 look to be in line with the others in top 10.

Nope, can't see any reason why it would be flagged.

edit: Actually, did you ride with those other 4? Could be strava has wrongly linked it with one of them so they flagged it to get them removed? Only thing I can think of

Any decent UK suppliers? $800 doesn't seem too bad, and they even look good. I'm guessing they are ant+ compatible?
 
rode to work on my road bike this morning. It's actually annoying how fast it is - on the work hack i flow in with the traffic, on the road bike im continually irritated by their slowness
 
My Garmin had a spaz this morning, did 10km then crashed and didn't update speed or distance. Hoping it works tomorrow....

Felt like I was riding a brick on the Giant compared to the Cervelo!
