Stages infrequently issue firmware updates as their PM product set is generally pretty stable in my experience (Gen 3). However this one dropped last week and might well be worth updating to if, perhaps, you were experiencing right-side power spike issues. Enabling the gyroscope is only possible with the Android app and only possible solely…
My regular reader knows that this site tends to be forward-looking as well as rooted in the present. I tend not to do retrospective things and dwell on the past too much. However, looking back on 2019 I saw some good products. Naturally, I never used some once the review was published and, in other…
Stages, the Team-SKY power meter people of old, are PERMANENTLY cutting their prices by about 20% but up c40% in some cases. On the face of it, this is a game-changer, especially in the entry-level section of the market. For Eu/$/£300 you can get a single-sided 105 crank with a pre-installed Stages power meter. That’s…
And then there were 4. Stages have now added support for the GARMIN VARIA Radar to the Stages Dash L50/M50 matching recent efforts with the Hammerhead Karoo and earlier moves from Wahoo and Garmin. I need to do a few rides with JUST the Dash on the handlebars. I’ve tried all 4 and the multiple…

Some tidbits of firmware/platform goodness to round off the day and a great relief for it to be something other than a 20% off ‘something’ deal. Stages Stages today are releasing v2 of their L50 firmware, I’m assuming also for the M50 but not L10. Full info should be shown here at stagesdash.com but it’s…
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…
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…
Just over a year ago, Norwest Equity Partners invested an undisclosed sum into Wahoo Fitness. Clearly, this was always going to be more about a significant business expansion rather than building a slightly better HRM. I’m pretty sure that’s right as Wahoo released the ‘slightly better HRM’ a few months before the investment (Tickr FIT)…
It looks like a new feature has been planned at STRAVA for quite some time, it’s called TOP STOPS. STRAVA has got a lot of data about you. Just think, it’s more than the segments you ride and the flybys you had. It’s more than the gear you say you’ve used and the routes you’ve…
A recent post by dcrainmaker (here) showed how STRAVA had effectively cut off access to relive.cc for the strava API. I covered it a little as well at the time (here). One suggestion was that STRAVA might have a directly-competing product in the pipeline. For the sake of argument let’s just assume they have. I…
Coming soon: http://wko5.com/ TrainingPeaks have just, sort of, released a new version of their analytics package …called WKO5. Full details and links below ahead of tomorrow’s marketing drive. Of interest are their SMART SEGMENTS (smart LAPS) where you can analyse YOUR performances on segments/laps of YOUR custom routes over time compared to YOU. Dynamic Functional Reserve…
This is one of those ‘me trying to be helpful’ posts. First Up – STRAVA These are the riders who seem to have STRAVA profiles that you can follow. There are a few that are missed out, let me know if you know the STRAVA ID. Some of the watts are perhaps not…
