I have not, but I've heard nothing but good things from people who do use them.

That's one way of looking at it that I never thought of. Perhaps, you could still gather data but never reveal it to him or anyone else?

Not that easy. USAC coaches on his training peaks account. College rowing coaches follow on Strava and are direct. You have to lie, or show. Can't say you don't have data when you do. But you can say you don't have data when you don't.

And...We don't think measuring power is all that important (see power thread).

what software are people using for GoPro video editing and adding gauges for your Garmin info?

Virb is the best/only one I know that works as far as adding the gauges, but it's a pain to sync the files up, in my experience.

Part of the problem is if the GoPro records in 20-min pieces (at 1080p), then you have to sync each segment, it's not automatic.

If you have a Virb computer I think it's more automatic.

So what I do is: merge all the files in to one using the GoPro software, so I only have to sync it once, then overlay the data using Virb, then edit it down and add titles using iMovie. It's a pain, so I usually skip the data part lately.

I've got a virb camera (first gen, not the newest one) and it also breaks video up into 20 or 30 minute clips. It was enough of a pain that I recorded like 2 crits and haven't touched it since. Agreed that adding gauges to the video was a piece of cake in the Garmin software.

Thanks. And bummer.

is one road bike generally enough for both training and racing?

Generally, yes.

Good one, GC!

[MENTION=196014]shovelhd[/MENTION] is, as usual, right. But it's pretty nice to have another bike that's good enough to race on as a backup.

Ive only ever had 1 road bike, I train and race on it

where my ass video at?

time to sell

Garmin's latest and greatest....heads up display a la Google glass.

Kind of intriguing, but where will all this end? :)

what I always wanted were sunglasses with a big blind-spot creator on them.

They're super warm, can fill up with water, and restrict you to the tops only. The wife likes them. I'd prefer mittens with gloves inside.

So my steering tube turns out to be cracked...this is a Cannondale Evo Hi mod.

Fairwheel suggested an alternative to the stock fork is an Enve fork, which will still preserve the geometry. Has anyone owned one of these and can comment on them? Thanks.

why no warranty? crash?

Enve is probably the most common third party carbon fork, around here at least. I have one, it's fine. I replaced an Alpha fork that was underdesigned and wore through due to road grit/spray. I have not heard any secondhand bad reports on Enve or 3T forks, but I have heard occasional secondhand complaints about Reynolds and Ritchey.

I think a fork is one of those things you only think about when it's not right. If you go with the Enve, I would advise not to bother with the expensive model, I did a bit of research when I bought mine a few years ago, and the weight savings is minimal (and questionable, because they weigh the expensive model with a shorter uncut steerer tube) and there are some reports of the high end fork being more fragile.

Honestly, I didn't try for a warranty as I did crash last weekend. I didn't think it was bad but the bike took a ding. Also, the mechanic at FW felt that the steering tube was cut too low for the stem that was on there. When I put on that stem, I did think it was a little tall but I thought it would be okay. So basically, I figure that there is a decent probability that it wasn't a defect that would be covered under warranty. Am I wrong here?

Thanks, would be going with the 2.0.

I have also heard - can't verify this - that the Enve 1.0 is less stiff. Not a desirable thing for a fork. I've been riding an Enve 2.0 for over 4 years now. It's great, in that I never think about it and it's light, stiff and tough as nails.

Thanks. I guess I am wondering if frame fork design is so integrated at this point that the Enve fork wouldn't ride as well as the original Cdale. If the Enve is an "upgrade" great, but if it is not, I'd rather wait for the oem replacement.

I'd stick with OEM.
