Week in Review–October 2nd, 2017

1) DCR on Triathlon Taren: Last week at Interbike I sat down with Triathlon Taren to discuss all sorts of ‘best’ products.

An entertaining introduction to Cyclocross racing at CrossVegas

On the move to Eurobike, what do you want to see?

Compare that to Interbike where you’re hours behind Eastern Time – shifting everything to almost being late-night updates.

Also probably some seminars like you see at Interbike on topics like power meters, etc.

Eurobike Sports Technology Things That Didn’t Fit: Part I

I’m hoping by time Interbike comes around in a little over two weeks, they’ll have figured out how to turn them on, and I’ll be able to give you a bit of a tour of them.

Tacx Bushido Trainer In-Depth Review

But with that suite not shipping until Interbike 2012 now, everything will be in preview mode until then (though I will say it’s pretty cool).

K-Edge shows off new Wahoo ELEMNT mounts that are already shipping

Lastly, the new on-center mounts that were announced last fall at Interbike will start shipping by the end of April or early May.

Hands-on: Hammerhead’s new Karoo GPS Bike Computer

My bet though is that we’ll see it ship closer to late September or so around Interbike.

And, the same will be true in the spring, when we look towards the fall and find yet another batch of units either being readied or prepared for announcement at the likes of Eurobike and Interbike.

Mio adds wireless Shimano Di2 integration, ANT+ trainer control, and more to Cyclo bike units

Though strangely, since Interbike the device has gotten substantially larger than it was since shown there in my previous post.

4iiii Announces New Factory Pre-Install option, Dual Timelines/Prices

I’d expect this announcement to be at Eurobike or Interbike (late August/Mid-September), as with most bike announcements.

Week in Review–October 16th, 2010

I’ve once again spent the past week out on the road – but left plenty of good posts behind in my wake: Sunday: Week in Review – October 10th, 2010 Tuesday: A ‘Magical’ Weekend Wednesday: Climbing, Cresting, Cruising Thursday: Separating product timeline fact from fantasy: Interbike Edition Friday: Timex Global Trainer Giveaway Results Stuff that I found interesting around the interwebs: I browse tons, and I mean TONS of stuff each week.

Tidbits: Initial thoughts on LeMond Trainer, me being on TV Tuesday Night

The only times I had used the Revolution Trainer in the past was when I was on a show floor of some sort (Interbike, ANT+ Symposium, etc…).

The Girl’s 2012 swim/bike/run gear I use list

I met the makers of Skin Strong at interbike last fall and they gave me a sample bottle.

Sea Otter 2017 Tech Tidbits: Barfly, K-Edge, Quarq Qollector, Lezyne, Flaér

Bar Fly kicks off the new mount party with them shipping a design they previewed back at Interbike, which is a fully CNC machined aluminum mount – the Bar Fly 4 Prime (above).

Power2Max introduces Type S mountain bike power meter, additional road bike models

Of course, like I’ve noted in other posts, I’ll be putting together a full power meter recommendations guide sometime after Interbike (that’s in two weeks), based on any and all power meter announcements that occur between now and then.

Week in Review–September 24th, 2017

I’m trying to get through as much Interbike backlog as possible (still have 3-5 more reasonably short posts), but this upcoming week will officially be the most deep with reviews and detailed ever in DCR history.

New gadgets delivered via FedEx bike and a hop through Turkey

Looking at other gadgets, last week the BKOOL trainer arrived (I talked about it back at Interbike).

Sea Otter Power Meter Roundup: 4iiii Precision, Easton/Race Face CINCH, FSA PowerBox, Team Zwatt, Quarq DZero, Xpedo Thrust-E

entirely new products) until the Eurobike/Interbike timeframe at the end of summer.

Finally…a weekend at home: Pumpkins and Training

I also got to take out the TuneBug system I was given at Interbike out for a spin: The Tunebug system uses Bluetooth to connect to your phone and wirelessly stream music to the Tunebug speaker, which mounts on your helmet (comes with a few different mount systems).

MWC 2014 Roundup Part 4: Intel Smart earbuds, Ford automated bike-avoiding car, Behind the Scenes at MWC

While that would probably work for me at an event like Interbike where I know all the players – it’s less ideal here where I’m sniffing out things I’m not aware of.

One week: So many cool new things

Sorta like Interbike – just too much good news to go around! Polar RCX5 Multisport Watch Coming: Some of you may have seen some of the tweets and Facebook postings from Polar USA around the upcoming RCX5 multisport watch.
