With that I soon found myself on a plane and jetting my way to Interbike in Las Vegas, leaving Newfoundland behind.

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).

Hope the week is going well, I’m just about to board a plane to San Francisco for a few days, and then onwards to Tahoe and Reno for Interbike.

Then the hell that is Eurobike-Interbike-ANT+ Symposium conventions and travel sets in for September, where cycling drops off.

Weekly Mailbag–August 21st, 2010

www.dcrainmaker.com/2010/08/weekly-mailbagaugust-21st-2010.html

I’d love for them to revive themselves a bit, and there’s been some hints at that with the CS500 bike computer they introduced recently, as well as some rumors swirling around them and upcoming bike devices and Interbike – that if true, might at least set them back on the road to competitiveness.

BKOOL Wireless ANT+ Trainer In-Depth Review

www.dcrainmaker.com/2012/12/bkool-wireless-ant-trainer-in-depth-review.html

When I first heard of it and saw it at Interbike, I wasn’t convinced there was a market for a trainer that had limitations around lack of calibration options.

My 2014 ANT+ Symposium Keynote Presentation

www.dcrainmaker.com/2014/10/2014-symposium-keynote-presentation.html

Most companies in this segment tend to make new product announcements at shows like Eurobike/Interbike/CES.

A look at Garmin’s new ANT+ Speed & Cadence magnet-less sensors

www.dcrainmaker.com/2014/05/garmins-spd-cad-magnetless-sensors.html

Lastly, I don’t expect Wahoo to be the only game in town come the fall with products typically introduced at Eurobike and Interbike.

It Begins Monday: Giveaway Extravaganza Time!

www.dcrainmaker.com/2018/09/it-begins-monday-giveaway-extravaganza-time.html

Perhaps because the conversation with Clever Training pretty much always goes: How can we step it up again? Plus, like last year we’ve got two to three weeks worth of announcements that might follow as we go into both wearables season and Interbike.

Hands on with a $200 Bluetooth Smart power meter and precision distance/speed sensor

www.dcrainmaker.com/2012/08/hands-on-with-200-bluetooth-smart-power.html

As soon as I have a unit in my hands (hopefully Interbike) I’ll be putting it up against other power meters to see how it stacks up accuracy wise.

Tip of the day: Changing your Garmin FR60 battery

www.dcrainmaker.com/2011/11/tip-of-day-changing-your-garmin-fr60.html

Me on the other hand, I happened to stumble by the ANT+ booth at Interbike where they had a giant punch bowl of them free for the taking.

The Blog: A summary and historical view

www.dcrainmaker.com/2011/01/blog-summary-and-historical-view.html

It helps to support buying back gadgets for future questions, and it covers things like flying out to Interbike and reporting on what’s going on there in a way nobody else does, and things of the like.

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

www.dcrainmaker.com/2012/09/eurobike-sports-technology-things-that_3.html

And with that, onto Part II! Enjoy! --- O-Synce GPS Bike Computers (and surprisingly cool software app) As a bit of background, it’s somewhat funny (to me at least) that at Eurobike (and Interbike), when companies try and have you understand what a given bike computer GPS unit does – they always start off with either “It’s comparable to the Edge 500” or “It’s comparable to the Edge 800”.

5 Random Things I Did This Weekend

www.dcrainmaker.com/2018/09/5-random-things-i-did-this-weekend-80.html

I’ll be planning an in-depth review in about 4 weeks or so, just after Interbike as I get more rides with it.

Eurobike Sports Tech Snippets Part 1: Cateye, Fly6, Elite Trainers, Wahoo, Canyon

www.dcrainmaker.com/2014/09/eurobike-snippets-trainers.html

Some of these I’ll expand down the line into longer posts – potentially at Interbike, or once a product is released.

2011 Sport Device GPS Accuracy In Depth: Part I

www.dcrainmaker.com/2011/06/2011-sport-device-gps-accuracy-in-depth.html

At this point I’d suspect I’ll wait until all of the summer related releases occur (including things leading up in EuroBike/Interbike in late August).

Behind the scenes: LeMond Fitness

www.dcrainmaker.com/2011/11/behind-scenes-lemond-fitness.html

Take for example, all of their show floor materials – for events such as Interbike:…

Power Meters and Pop-Tarts

www.dcrainmaker.com/2010/08/power-meters-and-pop-tarts.html

Vegas made sense since I’ll be down there for Interbike.

WatTeam PowerBeat Gen2 Power Meter In-Depth Review

www.dcrainmaker.com/2017/02/watteam-powerbeat-gen2-power-meter-in-depth-review.html

Next, in a post back at Interbike a few months ago, I showed their longer term vision for other crankset companies to be able to leverage their technology into a much more compact form factor onto the edge of the crank arm.

5 Random Things I Did This Weekend

www.dcrainmaker.com/2014/09/random-things-i-did-this-weekend-7.html

The end-state is arriving in Interbike a touch over a week from now.

Elite Direto Trainer In-Depth Review

www.dcrainmaker.com/2017/09/elite-direto-trainer-in-depth-review.html

Expect my full annual round-up of trainers in the week following Interbike (so Sept 25th), as I’d like to see how the new Bkool and Minoura offerings look in person.
