Going to try take my running a bit more seriously this year, and I've always wondered why I'm more broken after a run than a ride (perhaps something down to conditioning). Interested to know how the added running stats have worked so far? What can you see/measure now?

It's what you make of it when you're presented with it. The concept of running power is still being refined; it's not as clear cut as bike power. However, Garmin does have a guided lactate threshold test which strictly requires any Garmin HRM. At the conclusion of this test, your "power" numbers are not taken into consideration, purely your pace and HR. From experiece, this test is identical to a ramp test. The other metrics it measures, vertical oscillation, ground contact time, ground contact balance, cadence etc are well defined. The values are summarized, and you can see where you're doing well and where (like me) you're not doing well. From this data, you know what you may need to work on to improve your running economy, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stretched@Birth Posted February 8, 2022 Share Not a purchase, a gift from my 14 year old. Some years ago, my wife bought me a Singular Griffin that came with a Charge saddle in brown leather. I've held onto that saddle and transferred it from bike to bike. When my bike was stolen in November, the saddle went with it, and I was obviously very disappointed. My youngster made it his mission to find a replacement, that arrived yesterday for my birthday!

henningvr Posted February 8, 2022 Share With my 5.10s reaching end of life (literally), I had to get some new shoes. Managed to get hold of these Black Diamond Technicians. Verdict after 5 rides: oh yes! They work fantastically well on my flats, and dare I say it, even better than the 5.10s.

Sits in the steerer tube, super easy installation, EXCEPT the little circlip that secures the nut underneath which is fiddly to install. Fits securely, really well made, easy to access. I'm very happy with it. Steven Knoetze (sk27), ChrisF and Pikey 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted February 9, 2022 Share Not one for bragging about stuff, but this one deserves some innovation recognition. Thru axle need replacing, and the Fox original was quoted at > R1500. Bike shop offered an alternative, RapiLock. Cheaper, and customizable based on a thread size, axle length, boost or non-boost. Also has a hidden skewer handle. The old thru axle; only noticed it when washing the bike. Steven Knoetze (sk27), Wayne pudding Mol, Trashy and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Never mind, I see on their website they do front wheel also. Edited February 10, 2022 by TheoG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
