I like the engineering in their bikes. Congrats on another award

When you examine the area Under the Hr curves and Power curves you will see that the HR curve actually shows the Work done quite effectlively for post ride analysis. Where the short coming is that the change in HR to load lags where the power meter is shows the change according to the smoothing profile you select which inevitably will be quicker than for HR. For this reason some people think its more accurate or delivers better results. Where i find the POWer meter helps is during certain types of interval repeats where the fatigue is more easily spotted as your power curve will start to trend lower quicker. its for this reason that I actually do most of my intervals on an indoor trainer with a power meter. On the road as a pacing tool its not nearly as effectiveand compares to an HR or power calculator bike computer. On the road its really nice to have because of terrain variability. Where its really effective on the orad is when using the same stretch of road for hill repeats or repetive intervals where the rest period is very short (2-4min). Otherwise, its just a nice flashy toy that dazzles other cyclists into wheelsucking your perceived superiority.

Is fritz Pienaar involved?

yes while sales of cyclng related goods are generally down. Popularity does not equal growth in sales over a rolling period. http://www.bikebiz.com/news/tag/statistics generally the industry is in a down turn

power meter sales slowing down?

Thanks for explaining. I only stared watching the coverage just before Minaars run

so what was his nick name?

how the heck am I supposed to read it from that picture? Maybe post a better one of the article and I can judge whether its shoddy or not. But the picture tells no story

you called it shoddy journalism. you're right, that's an awful picture. it doesn't illustrate the shoddy journalism

I agree, that's a really bad picture

Want to do the 75 but seeded MD cos I never ride a PPA MTB event. Can you fix this? I'm k&k fast
