I seem to be finding myself more often on grades upwards of 15%, and since building strength in these old leg muscles is getting harder each year, a little less mashing might be nice.
I'm thinking of getting the
4iiii power meter, also, as you mentioned. They show a crankset in my size on the website. Their "works as an AirTag" feature is kind of nice--no need to find a place to hide an AirTag on the new bike. Any advice?
What, somebody besides you choosing your routes these days?
