Spinnekop Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Any reason NOT to buy one? I'm not a serious cyclist but live my gadgets !!Love my gadgets also.The 1000 is VERY good. Check it works properly doing short intervals using a workout - got 2 mates who have problems with "freezing" during short intervals. Otherwise it seems fine. New software update is pretty stable at this moment. Have been cycling with it for a month or two. No issues just jet.

No issues just jet. Do you use the workouts functionality on an IDT with power zone targets? They are both ahving issues with short (10 - 20) second intervals - the screen freezes up for a few seconds at the beginning of each interval - so they can't see the performance against target on screen - but it records the session well enough.

That it does. Freez for 10 seconds. It is suppose to give you a summary at that stage.......which sometimes it does, sometimes it does not.... But my shortest interval is 2min so it is not such a big issue for me......

Are you guys using smart trainers or a standard idt with bike mounted pm? I'm looking at a similar setup in the near future but always imagined running the session from a tablet or laptop based app and just using the Garmin for recording.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 no RS1 fork?double the price of a SID, for marginal if any performance increase and less stiffness? No thanks...

V12man Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 no RS1 fork?No - for 2 basic reasons - aside from cost: 1 - means I am forced to use hubs that my other bikes don't run - so my spare wheels are useless2 - there is basically nobody in Jhb that can service them effectively yet (there is 1 guy who has been trained, but is still building experience) and as a minor reason - I think my wife might notice such a big configuration change....

Guest notmyname Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 and as a minor reason - I think my wife might notice such a big configuration change.... aaaah, the old kul jou huur, kul jou daar move. Sweet ride Sir.

And for me (aside from cost) that would be the biggest. Plus them hubs aren't cheap!
V12man Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 First purchase for the Epic next year?Not really - got an offer on my existing 2 year old race bike and took it - win win for everyone, because I have been thinking of a change for a while - then this came up and its about as close as possible ex shop as I would spec it myself, and a spectacularly good deal as well - although not close - it's at the coast Vlamrouge and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2
