First road test of new components and positioning adjustments after a bicycle fitting

in cycling •  5 years ago 

Perceived effort is a pretty good indicator -- especially if you're going faster! I'd like to get some power-meter cranks for my bike -- but I can't justify spending $1000+ for something that I don't really need.

I can so relate to that. I had high hopes for the Arofly power meter (the newer, cheaper kind that screws onto the rear valve stem) but by early reviews it's not quite ready for prime time. Hopefully that will change. Like you, I can think of better things to do with $1000--like buying a dedicated track bike.

So, are you a track cyclist or fixie enthusiast yourself?

I just have a little road bike that I ride around from time to time. Not cool enough to ride a fixie ;)

I live really close to work, so I don't ride as much as I'd like. I have an indoor training that I'm going to start using again once it starts raining outside, and I'm hoping to do my first bike race some time next year. But we'll see what happens.

I'm a very recreational cyclist.
