Ha yeah, quite. Seems like I made a PB 2hr, 3hr and 4hr power out there in the wind! Times like these you value a power meter - my average speed alone wouldn't have told me anything useful.
Haha yeah speed can be massively misleading. I was late for dinner last night and pushed quite hard ignoring all numbers to get home quickly. I just seemed 'slow', but riding from cold I went far too deep.
Cue absolutely blew myself up on the only real ramp in less than 2 minutes. Fatigued a little, stressed, running late with cold legs and headwind are not a good combination! Maybe I need to practice my Zwift starts more...
Working perfectly today after spending a good 2 hours messing about with it yesterday... I can now reinstall all the maps I deleted in anger!
Map problems on a Wahoo device? I've never fiddled with the maps on my ELEMNT, or felt the need to!
indexing makes sense on the back because the derailleur controls the position of the chain absolutely. On the front the derailleur suggests where the chain should be with a wee shove and then leaves it to its business.
there's about 10 clicks in a campag ultrashift front shifter, which means across a huge range of different frames and cranks i can always have my front mech where it needs to be, rather than one of 3 or 4 semi-fixed places
di2 front mechs constantly roam around in response to where the chain is on the back. It's like that but mechanically controlled by the rider
I hadn't realised Campag did anything different wioth the FD, is that across their range or just a 'gain' of Ultrashift?
I'm not sure that I'm that aware of my front mech, not more than 4-5 positions at most, but then that is an ignorant Shimano rider who probably uses inefficient chainlines and crosschains far more than I should...
I'd like to bin it off but £52 for the Garmin set isn't quite an impulse buy...
No prob and yeah totally agree with you. Kinda the reason I went the Wahoo cadence sensor when I needed one. I like the Garmin magnetless ones but for the price (and rubbish crank arm rubber band which I've snapped at least 2 of) the Wahoo was a good choice. There was more of a price difference when I got it back then as Wahoo seem to be pricing higher and higher these days...
Ha ha, yeah, we'll see. I'm generally not good with practical mechanical work either. I'll watch a bunch of YouTube videos on it. How hard can it be, right?
It's not hard, it's the concept/practicality of 'holding' the cassette, basically independant of the wheel, so you can rotate the lockring (which is screwed onto the freehub) to undo it with a combination of tools...
Also without pulling the freehub off the axle/hub lol. You'll do it at some point and scare yourself silly (depending on hub design will depend how easily this happens & how easy to 'solve')
You'll manage it, at the end of the day you're practical enough to mount a bike on the wall and it hasn't fallen onto you while you slept, yet!?

52.631km in an hour in training? Will be interesting to see what he manages out of training.
Oliver Bridgewood (GCN) attempted to beat Eddy Merckx record the other day and came close but slightly short with 47.593.
Great numbers! But really expected power output to maybe be higher. Shows how slippery and aero he is with those speeds.
Let be honest,
Oli came close, much closer than I expected him to but his numbers are just 'normal' for a good club type rider. He's no TT specialist, WT pro, or track cyclist like Dan B.
Infact compare those 2 data sets and you'll see the difference. Not a huge difference in power (50-60W) but massive difference in speeds (11mph+):

Throwing a Dowsett peak hour TT comparison on there too would be good, but I'm struggling to track down a flat TT.
