Decided to upgrade the MTB...she is a bit dirty now

Anybody seen a proper marked improvement going from HR to Power training that is not a pro athlete? It makes indoor training sessions easier to execute, but I am not 100% sold on the bike.
I normally just hang on up the climbs and recover till the next one, repeat. Will a power meter make a difference?
If you know what to look for yes, but for the average cyclist without a coach it is like a bragging tool to say you smash 400watt up Llandudno all the way to the top.
When I used to be coached they were able to analyse data better, at the moment I am a recreational cyclist and I just look at my power once a while to see how my fitness is but normally when you k@k off it means you pushing out higher power...your hrt will also be higher.
Wouldnt say it is a need it is more a luxury. Just my 2c

Perhaps Arianne want to peak at the Epic where the others is already starting to peak?
@johan_bester
wonder if he will start in the back again now, since he climbed the ladder in the seeding field due to using performance enhancing drugs...which fun ride is next? Durbanville Durbie bash?
Rather get a K-Edge mount
Doesnt work with my handlebar, have one already lying in a box...
This Garmin mount finally arrives and I rush home in a state of excitement, only to discover that my Garmin unit doesn't seem to fit.
Disappointed!
Where did you buy that mount? I am looking for the same one.
Interesting that the tires are blue so "close" to the centre line. Usually you only get it on the two outer quarters.
Still a newbie....the bike was basically like new but after the weekend the blue part is like gone 
Took the plunge on a pair of Assos NeoPro S7 bib shorts. Super comfy #CWC
Got the Sworks shoes on Saturday... #OLYMPICCYCLES#AWESOMEPRICE!!!!
:clap: All in all I had a BLESSED July with regards to cycle kit! 2 bikes, shoes, bib, Oakleys, toolkit
:thumbup:
How do you find the shoes?
I love my S-Works although they are the previous model a upgrade is due soon!
I loved the new route...the climbs was perfect! Longish climbs which we don't get often in races. There was a small break in the beginning but we managed to catch alot, only a few got away...last climb there was a attack by some Abantu and BMC guys where I followed...finished in about 2:58 if I remember correctly. Will definitely be back next year!
the Ultegra Di2 is about 5k less than SRAM RED, in that case I'd try go for Red 22spd...
It is lighter than Di2 - 350g (or something there abouts) - wanted to go Red22 but the price difference is crazy! Force 22's weight is the same as the 10spd version - just over 2kg's. Di2 is 2.6Kg's
I went for RED shifters, Force RD and FD, brakes, Casette and chainrings as weight saving is minimal and price difference is huge! (I use the powermeter crank so only needed the blades). Could have gone for the brakes but didnt really think of it at that time, lol.
That's not enough, more needs to be done.
e.g. identify all the hotspots, get the cycling community together and find out if cameras or a security guard or security company will help or get a private investigator, etc, but get together and dicide what is the best solution going forward and then get the money to fund it.
Im sure if you get a few bike shops together to sponsor they would be able to wrap everything up within a month
What model ultravox is that? 2013?
are you getting rid of your p2max?
The latest 2014 one, Ultravox RS-1
I am keeping my power2max as I use it as a training tool, just took the blades from the crank and put it onto my rotor crank. As the bike is in the pic the build is complete...did it Friday evening.
From his physical condition the most millage the bike has done was being pushed from the store to his car
:clap:
Guys picked up a wallet, they handed it in at the restaurant. Black wallet, loads of cards was next to a BMW.
I didnt pick it up someone else did but asked me to post.
drivers license say SW Louw
If anyone lost a Garmin Edge at table mountain the police has it, I assume the station at Green Point as they do all the patrolling...
They asked if it was mine, I said no but I can put a add on the website, they dd not want to give it to me then...so anyway here goes.
It was on Saturday, 21 June around 9am
Being quite a loyal customer at www.wiggle.co.uk they have a system where you get a client rating based on the amount of purchases you do during the year, eg. silver = x amount, gold = y amount and platinum = z amount....with this client rating comes a discount, eg. silver is 5%, gold is 10% and platinum is 15%...so currently I am a platinum client receiving some good deals.
The idea for SA stores why don't you start something like this?
Surely if a regular client ends up spending 15k+ a year some discount would be quite a good idea? (5k = silver, 10k = gold and 15k+ = platinum)
Not only will this win you some clients over but also keep clients satisfied with some killer deals as they will be buying more and more to get to that discount rating?
everything is available online which is included th my monthly ADSL internet subscription? Not to burst your bubble but I don't think your app is going to make it as it is paid for....people like free stuff.
a PM is just a tool. Proper training and understanding of yourself is a motivational thing. they are not related in the strong mind. Only a weak mind seeks solace in gadgets
Have you ever trained with one? I have been training with one and made tremendous progress, yes sure a solid mindset helps but I done races before where my mind said you can still win meanwhile my legs said f*%^& you I am going home....a powermetre can monitor such things.
I don't have this product
(Rolling with a Quarg)
Recommended highly:
Power2Max
Crank-based
Solid after sales service
I only hear good reviews from those around here.
Agree'd....I love my Power2Max, gives me everything I need.

Anyone using Zwift?

I use Trainer Road, programs work better for me. i also experienced issues with Zwift where it is delayed on the slopes/decents but it might be as it is a 3D riding experience(need 10mb+ internet then) and Trainer Road is block based programs, since moving over to Trainer Road had no problems with my trainer disconnecting. I connect to laptop via bluetooth and then the ant+ usb picks up my power meter and hrt monitor.
