Boonie Posted May 23, 2017 Share Would you buy a Stages power crank or a 4iiii power crank for R2500 less? I can get a stages for R14500 or a 4iiii for R11000. Should I buy the 4iiii? Both are Dura ace crank arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eon du Plessis Posted May 23, 2017 Share Ask Cwc about Stages. They sold DA versions for around R9500 a few weeks ago. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scosche Rhythm+ and Fitbit Blaze were less accurate (rc=.75 and rc=.67, respectively). On treadmill, all devices performed well (rc=.88-.93) except the Fitbit Blaze (rc=.76). While bicycling, only the Garmin, Apple Watch and Scosche Rhythm+ had acceptable agreement (rc>.80). On the elliptical trainer without arm levers, only the Apple Watch was accurate (rc=.94). None of the devices was accurate during elliptical trainer use with arm levers (all rc < .80).Conclusion: The accuracy of wearable, optically based HR monitors varies with exercise type and is greatest on the treadmill and lowest on elliptical trainer. Electrode-containing chest monitors should be used when accurate HR measurement is imperative. Edited May 25, 2017 by andydude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinnekop Posted May 25, 2017 Share but we all know that it just needs to be consistently wrong every day and then it doesnt matter[/quoteFor that amount of money spent...I would rather then use hrt...that's just meI have used HR based training for 10 years as an Elite road racer.I have been using power meters since 2012. My training hours have come down. Training has been more specific. More concentrated. Better quality.I am fitter and stronger than what I was with less hours spent on the bike. Yes, there are lots of variables. I am very glad I train with a power meter and not with hr anymore. If I had R20k for a set of wheels or a PM, I'd go for the PM. But that's just me.
