Introducing CycleOps PowerCal, the worlds’ first-ever power meter calculated from heart rate. For years there has been a widely recognized correlation between power and heart rate. In a lab one can predict power output or intensity by knowing heart rate, and vice versa. But once you leave the lab and enter variables such as hills, wind and fatigue, the relationship gets a bit trickier. This is why many cyclists and triathletes use both a heart rate monitor and a power meter in training. Through the use of these tools and the analysis of tens of thousands of power files over the years, the experts at CycleOps and the University of Colorado Boulder have identified patterns which can correlate an athlete’s heart rate to power across all real world conditions. We’ve utilized this knowledge to create a technology which provides power based on this correlation; in the real world and in real time. No, it’s not as precise as our PowerTap. Yes, it’s a great tool, is incredibly easy to use, and is compatible with any existing ANT+ compatible display. Simply pair it to your display, and off you go! We’re all familiar with the key difference between a power meter and a HR monitor: that HR is a response to the work you’re doing, whereas power is the actual work.The algorithms in PowerCaltranslate heart rate data into the vernacular of power-based training- watts, kilojoules, peak power, etc. And at an approximate cost of R1000, it could be one of the best investments you make in your training. So if you’re ready to take your performance to the next level, let PowerCal help get you there. This combined with the NEW Joule 1.0 or Joule GPS is the ideal way to start learing about training with Power. Due in stock in 2-4weeks. http://www.bicyclepo...16/Default.aspx

Weights start from 1250g a set including the Power Meter!!!!!! Darren said not too long ago “Having ridden a number of different Power Tap wheels over the last 5 years, I can truly say that the new G3 hub & ENVE rim combination is exponentially better! They feel as good to me as any other quality "standard hub" race wheel I have ridden. They are a huge improvement on the old hub & other Carbon rim combinations. They are light, stiff & responsive, really outstanding! Big thumbs up from me!” Wheels are available in the following options: 45mm Tubby 1250g a SET!!! 45mm Clincher 1540g a SET!!! 65mm Tubby 1365g a SET!!! 65mm Clincher 1625g a SET!!!

Only a Pleasure!!!

TSS (Training Stress Score) is a measure invented by Hunter Allen and Dr Andrew Coggan (of Training Peaks fame) and its intended to address the shortfalls of distance or time-based programmes that we all know have weaknesses. TSS accounts for ‘quality’ in your workout. But you have to have a decent PM to measure TSS and with devices like CycelOps’s Joule (that comes with its PM’s) TSS is available on the dashboard – so you get a ‘real time’ readout of how well your workout is going. Most good coaches (and Bicycle Power Trading, who import CycleOps products) will be able to help with TSS based programmes – it’s a fairly simple matter of converting from distance or time to TSS targets, based on different intensities for different types of workouts. if you need more info please contact bicycke power on 011-023-2777
