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.

Bontrager ANT+ Bike Speed/Cadence Sensor that requires no zipties or tools!

www.dcrainmaker.com/2012/02/bontrager-ant-bike-speedcadence-sensor.html

So back in September at Interbike (yup, 5 months ago!) I had heard of this new Bontrager ANT+ speed/cadence sensor that didn’t require any zip ties, nor any tools.

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.

I’ve seen this the case at Interbike as well in previous years – and the same was true here too.

www.dcrainmaker.com/2012/10/week-in-reviewoctober-14th-2012.html

This week we look at what happens when everything closes around us: Friday: Paris Blog- Watching a fashion show from my windowTo see all previous Paris Blog posts, simply click here.Stuff that I found interesting around the interwebs: Here’s a not-so-small smattering of all the random things that I stumbled on while doing my civic duty to find the end of the Internet: 1) The most in-depth Ironman Hawaii Underwear Run photo gallery ever: No, really, this is where every other underwear run gallery need only close up shop and wave the white flag.2) ICEDOT up on Kickstarter-like site, $50 cheaper: You may remember at Interbike I profiled a Bluetooth Smart sensor that automatically notifies emergency contacts if you crash your bike.

5 Random Things I Did This Weekend

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

A short weekend at home testing action cams…in the rain.

I had these K-Edge mounts sitting on my desk since Interbike, and finally got around to using them.

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”.

My 2013 Trainer Recommendations

www.dcrainmaker.com/2013/10/2013-trainer-recommendations.html

The more important news is that they’ve actually already implemented the ANT+ Trainer Control beta profile on trainers they’ve shown off at both Interbike and the ANT+ Symposium.

Power Meters and Pop-Tarts

A DC weekend of Cyclocross and assorted new products

www.dcrainmaker.com/2011/10/dc-weekend-of-cyclocross-and-assorted.html

It was entertaining at times to see the craziness of cyclists flying by…with a bunch of retired guys golfing a few yards away: This would be my second cyclocross event, after seeing Crossvegas at 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.

www.dcrainmaker.com/2012/11/1st-hands-on-ride-with-brim-brothers-zone-cleat-based-power-meter.html

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.

Elite Direto Trainer In-Depth Review

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

Behind the Scenes at Recon Instruments

www.dcrainmaker.com/2012/05/visiting-with-folks-at-recon.html

While I’m on that topic of new fangled toys and technology…I’ll be going out to Interbike in September this year, which means I’ll be able to give all of you the real inside scoop on the latest cycling and triathlon widgets and gizmo’s.
