That would be impressively slow for 200 watts

Yeah, I've only ever gone downhill on that part. Not tried it the other way. I'm a total wimp when it comes to going downhill though so its a "brakes on" kinda slope!

Yep, I opened it and forgot to take a photo. Need to figure out what to do with it now. Can sew it onto my swimming pants.
I'm thinking along similar lines but with the intention of having one great do it all bike and shifting my other two. I'll change my mind by next week anyway
1 x 12 speed sounds like an excellent idea! Then again I often ride with effectively a 14 speed bike (3 x 7 but the smallest chainring is pointless) and with avoiding cross chaining and overlapped ratios I probably only have 10 actual gear ratios to use.

Took the easy way on Stoney Lane yesterday,
It'll be a dark day in hell b4 I try to ride up it.
Haha! What's the easy way?

Down it, I'm guessing

I have a new bike for when the weather improves and I am considering changing to Look Keo style pedals. Have anyone swapped from SPD-SL's to Keo before? Is there any downsides to it? The reason I am looking at doing it is because the velodrome bikes all use Keo and I recently became accredited there so it would save me ~£5 every time I go in not having to rent shoes. My current pedals I use are Shimano R550 if it helps.

Vectors use keo cleats, and powertap p1s are sort of compatible with keo cleats, so if you're likely to use either of those in the future that would help as well.
Soldato
I swapped to Keo from SPD-SL's for that reason, no real difference despite better pedals imo.
No difference, you seem to have an actual reason to need to swap, surprised they won't let you take your own pedals though. But probably easier to just get new cleats.

Vectors installed on the Commuter! Surprising amount of power considering tail wind this morning! They provide the crowfoot wrench adapter now so you can torque them up properly which is a bonus, saves me paying £4 delivery on a £7 tool!
Just need to get my old ones working now, seems to be an issue with the firmware. Bloody things!

All this modern tech, it's a nightmare.
I am missing my bike, so just ordered a garmin aero mount, multi-tool and saddle bag.

Has the speed sensor arrived yet?
I decided this wind was getting too much for my knees, so I put some easier gearing on my BSA to use while it's windy. Because a 78 year old bike is more sensible in bad weather, right?
48 x 21 for all teh spinny.
I realise I have now become incapable of using sensible bikes.
I'm back from my hols! Will do a bit more of a write up afterwards (lunchtime) or so... 
Doing some catching up having not read this thread for a week...!
Where from and how much? I found inline adjusters quite expensive and not many options when I last looked.
No difference between the Zwift and TR tests, they're basically the same thing - few warm ups and then just hold whatever power you can for 20 mins!
Good work, try more than 2 next time!
lol which ones did you get? The ones from kickstarter?
How did you get on? I've got the Castelli Squadra and it's a great packable, loads better than the DHB I had previously. The EQ2.5 I also have and it is a totally different beast - it's a jacket made for wearing during rain & winds and not really aimed at being packable or for warmer weather. Although with the torso 'flap' and underarm vents I found it fine in temperatures up to 12 degrees. I've worn it in warmer summer rain without a jersey underneith but it does become very clammy in higher temperatures, I do run warm though.

Roady is on holiday. So I am assuming the role of multi quote king, problem?
