Zac.A Posted March 9, 2012 Share @Zac.A... Can you give this thread a review of your new PM? Thing is that I haven't got it installed yet I had it booked in for a monday but couldn't take it there, so booked it into another shop and then couldn't get there.Then I needed it for the rest of the week and then it was the argus and all the workshops were full, so hopefully at the end of next week I can give a review.

Bike Mob Posted March 9, 2012 Share Got an opinion today from a major bike shop that there's no after sales support for Quarg.They therefore do not stock it (yet). Absolute bull... I bought mine locally and have knowledge of two that went back for repair. Both were replaced under warranty in good time and with new parts. Once a part had to be flown in and was turned around in under a week. Cape Cycle Systems may not be perfect but they definitely support this product....well maybe not Quargs but they do Quarq Edited March 9, 2012 by Tarmac's Revenge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted March 9, 2012 Share Good to know, Tarmac... That sales guy was pushing the Cycle Ops product, with hindsight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted March 19, 2012 Share Now that I am considering this product, here is a cool snippet from yesterday's Classic: Saxo Bank’s Michael Morkov was part of a nine-man breakaway that formed after 20km of racing. This is quite typical for Milan-San Remo, where a lead group attacks early and builds up a large lead before finally being caught before the race’s penultimate climb, the Cipressa.Morkov’s group worked well together and built a maximum lead of 13 minutes. With Mark Cavendish in difficulty, the peloton caught the escapees early, with 60km of racing remaining, but even still, Morkov was off the front for an amazing 200km.See Michael Morkov’s Interactive TrainingPeaks File Viewer.Michael Morkov’s Milan-San Remo snapshotTime: 7:39Distance: 307kmWattage: 228W avg (268 normalized power)Training Stress Score: 397 TSSEnergy: 6292kjBody Weight: 71kg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted March 19, 2012 Share Morkov is a Saxo rider:This may have been one of Morkov’s biggest days ever on the bike with a total ride time of over seven hours. His SRM power meter also recorded 6292 kilojoules. Given a total normalized power value of 268 watts, Morkov racked up an amazing 397 Training Stress Score points.One small detail you may have missed while looking at Morkov’s file is his amazing ability to maintain a high cadence. In fact, he averaged 104rpm for a two-hour stretch of time. His peak 30-minute cadence reading was 109rpm. Morkov has such a natural ability to maintain a high cadence largely because of his track racing over the winter months. Morkov is a former madison and team pursuit world champion on the track, as well as an Olympic silver medalist in the team pursuit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted March 26, 2012 Share About SRM: Are they available in SA?Is a SRM PM compatible with Garmin as I run Edge 800? Unless I've missed some detail, I have not read about it here on the HUBSA. Here it is used by Liquigas-Cannondale - just left of the crank arm. http://velonews.competitor.com/files/2012/03/IMG_1585-631x421.jpg Edited March 26, 2012 by danseuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
