Wahoo have just added Specialized ANGi support to all 3 of their ELEMNT devices through today’s firmware updates Specialized ANGi is a helmet-mounted sensor that measures the forces transmitted to your helmet during a crash, as well as the harmful rotational forces that occur during crashes when your helmet doesn’t actually impact the ground.…
Tour de France 2020 Next year’s TdF is a sneaky all-France affair with no detours into foreign countries. We also see the removal of the Team Time Trial, which I quite liked. For those of you with a vague interest in the TdF and more of an interest in a French holiday, I can…
Shimano is due for an upgrade to 12 speed groupsets on the road. Will that come with 12-speed Di2 or Wireless Di2 or perhaps even a new power meter?
It had to happen. The UCI seem to have sanctioned a ZWIFT eSports World Championship for 2020. It’s a nice idea I suppose and we’ve talked about it here and many, many other places. One of the beauties of watching the TdF on TV is the banter and in-depth knowledge of the commentators, as the…
As promised last year, I’ve started to do some races with the Polar Vantage. This post covers some gadget-based results and anecdotes of recent RACE escapades. I “used” the Vantage V Titan for the River Arun 3.8k swim and also for the Dartmoor Classic 100 mile ride. Clearly, I didn’t look at the watch too…

My bike build is finally complete as I recently got the E-tube bluetooth/ANT+ bits fitted to add some much ‘needed’ connectivity to my cycling world. I also finally got around to having a bike fit after n+1 years. Where ‘n’ was ‘too long’. I’ve since had hours of fun with the Ultegra shifters and Di2.…
I still haven’t managed to have a meaningful ride on my 2018 bike. But I have spent several minutes gazing longingly at it hanging on one of my shed’s walls. I put on the ASSIOMAs and took some photos on Friday and then put them back onto my TT bike straight afterwards. Yes Sunday was…
Building a bike for 2018. Choices, decisions and techy details.
I came across Shimano’s PRO brand whilst considering various other bits for my bike upgrade (details to follow) although didn’t end up going with them in the end, instead resorting to a drill and an existing handlebar – coincidentally another brand but their PRO model. PRO’s Vibe handlebars were of interest for a couple of…
