How did you connect the Garmin ANT to the frame? And how accurate is the data?

I assume you also need a second Garmin ANT mounted on your bike frame / crank to pick up your Cadence data?

Great forum Rainmaker, thanks!

Thanks for the inputs.

Why would the hip angle close in that case? Wouldn’t the net effect simply be the effective crank ‘length’ be 165mm? Is it because at TDC the effective crank length would be 172.5 + 7.5?

On the CompuTrainer, in your opinion what is the best way to warm-up the CT that gives a stable cal. number. I have found that after some intervals, I tend to do another cal. spin up, and the number could be out by 2-3 points. Initially its stable with my PT but then I see it drift sometimes. Its definitely not a faulty CT, as I see the same thing with my 2nd CT.
Thanks

It’s only one side too.

I have a Rival 175mm arm with the Stages unit on it. I can’t compare to Red, but it weighs 35g more than the Force arm I replace on the bike.
