I went on my first ride this morning with the power meter and i did not have the GSC-10 magnet on the crank arm. At one point during the initial part of my ride, i noticed there was a cadence drop for a 10-second portion (as validated later via Garmin Connect and Strava). Since this is my first ride with the power meter, i’m not exactly sure what caused it. The power meter has the latest firmware.

If Garmin GSC-10 was providing cadence data, i would be able to have a more concrete proof to show that Stages power meter was suffering from power drops.

The Garmin GSC-10 is not perfect. Occasionally when i ride over the University Bridge (a mostly metal drawbridge), i would get cadence drops until i’m on the concrete part of the bridge. But just for narrowing down the power drops issue, i think i’ll put the crank arm magnet on.

The rides on the map are those that have been raceshaped, the sites main feature where you can compare segment efforts to get a second by second time gap to see where you gained and lost time. So it’s a weird, and small, subset of all Strava data. But it still has pretty good global coverage.

The zoom level is limited by memory of the machine the site is running. Which is related to cost. I was actually going to add 2 zoom levels this morning, but because of your post I don’t want to have the downtime, maybe in a few days. Talk about timing
