'tis too bad in a way... now my kids think I'm even more useless, since I can't even help with the homework (except Math of course).<BR/><BR/>RBR... Yeah, ol' Brucie is a crack-up, whether he means to be or not. He clearly knows his HTML and web-site stuff though. I checked out his Pro Women's Cycling site and it was loaded with stuff. One of these days I'll update this stupid blog's template, and get better links. Gotta dump Cody for Marian on the locals. Also add bicicorsa to make it easy for all us vain Sunday-worlds riders to check our style and such.Marco Fanellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747163770738442254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35529945.post-67583404378484606482008-11-21T17:27:00.000-08:002008-11-21T17:27:00.000-08:00Concur.

Hmmm...power meter for life, though?...how about your level of personal satisfaction?<BR/><BR/>To Steve, the iSport is a good way to get your "feet wet" with a power meter, except as I understand it there's no way to put in your actual drag coefficient or tire rolling resistance since you're limited to just a set of "standard" options. In that sense, you could end up with power readings that are "for entertainment purposes only". BUT, with the newest version of the iBike computers, the hardware is identical for all the versions, so upgrading only means loading in new firmware (and paying more money, of course).<BR/><BR/>I've had the opportunity to play around with the previous version of the iAero model recently...and it can be a bit "fiddly". I'm supposed to be sent one of the new models soon, and some of the hardware changes are meant to address the "fiddliness"...we shall see soon ;-)<BR/><BR/>Oh yeah...I can't think of one of the current power meter options that would actually add an entire pound to your bike.Tom Anhalthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08175472546482777614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35529945.post-18583161852218045382008-11-17T10:05:00.000-08:002008-11-17T10:05:00.000-08:00Uughh!!
