Anyway, the pioneer just keeps being annoying every 30 secnds or so if you're moving and not recording. I feel like that's pretty standard now.

I don't like auto pause. It's annoying. What is prefer is repeating the same check sequence after a stop longer than x minutes or what SRM does, and records upon sensing that, you know, you're riding.

Funny this is brought up. Lost about 10 miles of data today and 20 last week hitting stop at some point during the ride and not starting it. The Garmin 1000 has a red outline when its in stop mode but its hard to see. Think I'm going to try the auto pause thing.

Auto-pause is no good if you ride steep or switchbacky trails, too. I just never stop the Garmin when I stop during a ride. There's no reason to afaict.

I doubt you're moving slower than 1mph (1.5 ft/s) on even the steepest climb....but maybe I'm wrong.

It will still fail on switchbacky trails. I think the GPS accuracy is the limiter, not the minimum speed setting. You can spend a lot of time within say 20' of the same point while still moving.
I just never saw the point of auto-pause. Any software (GC, WKO, Strava, etc, even Garmin) will calculate average power, speed, etc using moving time anyway, not elapsed time.

wheel builder is good option for that. pretty much as aero as a disc...if you can deal with the hassle of swapping it on and off. sounds like for you it is for a dedicated bike, so the one drawback is a non-issue.
not legal in any event where UCI regs apply (like nationals), but that is probably also a non-issue.

The wheelbuilder disc covers are nice, I expect you will be pleased with it. I had one for a powertap wheel that I eventually sold with the wheel.

Blah. Now, only when I'm stopped does auto-pause engage.

Have access to a really good deal on a quarq. Not interested in an srm.
What's the difference between a riken, Elsa, and red quarq?

Red is older technology. Riken is the heavier new technology. Elsa is lighter and I believe more precise technology.

New bePRO pedal-based power meter costs £347 | road.cc
anyone see this? Apparently it's on DC rainmakers queue as well. Wonder if there'll be any way to get this product in the U.S. Market

so...if my 10speed shifter broke (the paddle was all messed up in the middle of the race today, started working at the end, but i don't have high hopes for long-term reliability...) is it worth replacing at this point or should i just get 105 11s from the UK? I already have the crank and I don't think I'd need brakes? my road wheels are 11s compatible.

Go 11. I'm almost certainly going to Rival 22 on my road bike next month and swapping the 10s stuff over to the cross bike.

I forget, you said you're using SRAM right? If so if your shifters are 2 years old or younger they'll replace it for free as I'm pretty sure this is a known issue for them. The serial number should be on the inside of the brake lever, bring it to your local bike shop and let them know what's up. That said if you're looking for an excuse to go 11spd go for it.

This shifter is shimano. I must shift like an ape because I've broken 3 or 4 rival shifters and now 2 ultegras. Can anyone confirm that 10s shimano brakes work with 11s shifters? Not sure why they wouldn't. Also, could I go super cheap and keep the same front dérailleur?

The 5800/6800/9000 brake calipers are dual pivot, which gives more leverage for the same lever ratio. I suggest that you add 5800 or 6800 calipers if you go with 6800 levers.
