Going by the comment section it seems like the founders all use single speeds so that why thats all they are showing in the pics, but they aren’t quite the final shapes

I would not be discouraged. Sounds like Stages has worked out the kinks.

Ray — I am still vacillating between the 310XT and Edge 500 and now am suffering from information overload. How would these units work if I wanted to use either cross-country skiing in the winter?

Also what issues should I be aware of vis-a-vis signal interference between my Polar RS200 and any ANT+ device when using it? I now have the option of getting either unit for free (I could even get the 910XT for free if I wanted, but I think it’s wasted on me as I don’t swim other than paddling in the ocean with a boogie board on family holidays) – both without the HR strap however, I’d need that separate along with the cadence/speed sensor.

Great site — I hate opening up one of your reviews only because I know how much time I have to put into reading it. I have yet to read one of your reviews in a single sitting — how on earth to you find the time to do this stuff???

The braclet: Hmm, interesting. I’m not sure what to think of it either. I like the industrial design, but agree with you on the data aspects being potentially questionable as far as analytics go.

The bars: Really cool integration – love the internals of it. But solid bummer that they don’t have more shapes and for non SS bikes.

I got my first unit in March (Shimano 105 crankarm) and the meter fell off the arm on the first ride. It was cold and fairly wet and as others have said it looked like there wasn’t any glue on it. Luckily they were totally cool and next-day shipped a replacement. That one has been working fine.
