So in “human language”: is it more or less correct to say that the Quarq measures the power INput and the PowerTap the power OUTput? And you can find the difference “on” your chain?

I was on my way to see the Marc Chagall exhibition in the musee de Luxembourg when I came across the photoexhibit for the celebration of 100th Tour de France in 2013 .Without a lot of background knowledge I was impressed by the overall sensation it created. There was a lot of movement I liked the format and the place chosen for the exhibit.

Thanks for another great article!

Here is another one of interest:

Surprises in cycling aerodynamics

“CFD simulations validated by wind-tunnel measurements
show that drafting also benefits the leading rider,
due to the presence of trailing riders in his wake. The
drag reduction for the leading rider is up to 2.6% with
one trailing rider and up to 3.1% with two or more trailing
riders. The same effects imply that in a group of 6 or
more similarly-sized riders, the position with the largest
drag reduction is not the last, but the one-but-last. The
difference in drag reduction between both positions is
about 1%. In top competitions, where winning or losing
is often a matter of seconds, these drag reductions due
to trailing riders are significant and can be decisive.”

Just a spelling mistake. It should be a ‘waiver’.

Comment on Incredible deals: Garmin FR910XT for $299, FR310XT for $169, Edge 800 for $229, Ambit for $349 by Gene

Hi,
Thank you for mentioning the deals!
If I mainly do running now, would you recommend the Forerunner 410 or the 310, given that they are about the same price (at least on Amazon for the 410 & Clever Training for the 310)? I kind of want something that I do not have to charge daily or remember to charge before an activity. Even though I don’t need something like the 310, I prefer something more water-resistant than IPX7 because my other regular watches are all resistant to 100 m, and I’m used to taking them into the pool without a second thought. I already own a Garmin for running, but plan on given it to a member of the family who is starting to get back into shape.
Thanks!

Dito..I got this product and I love it so much, but I am interested in what you think about it! In my mind it’s clearly better then Garmin Swim and Swimsense (and I loved my Swimsense!).

Hope of a good review
