I spoke about "AI" coaching back in 2018 on a Lama Drives. This is all still relevant 8 years on, even more so with the new Strava MCP released today. IMO there's a LOT more it can do than just giving you interval sessions. youtube.com/watch?v=WhpbL3BL…

Someone's angry on the Internet because they think I've had a Garmin EDGE 1060 for a few weeks. Reality is I don't know anything about any new Garmin products. This is their new media policy. I"m Tweeting this to trigger more people searching for EDGE 1060 info. πŸ˜‚

I have confirmation the Garmin Rally x10 power meter pedal price drop will NOT be reflected in the AU/NZ markets. πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ίβ›”οΈ The XC210 remains at AU$2249 (eq US$1595). The MSRP is US$899 in the US. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ Garmin have chosen to roll with extreme regional pricing differences. Crazy.

The Rally x10 pedal body replacement (required for servicing) pricing is even more extreme. XC210 single pedal body remains ~US$299 (with a listed 5-8 week availability time frame in AU). Same product is US$129 in the US. Ships in 1-3 business days. I don't understand.

The US $88 Coospo S10 spider power meter claims Β±1% accuracy, but testing showed inconsistent data that doesn't even come close to that claim. Sound familiar? I've wasted time and money on this one so you don't have to. πŸ‘ŒπŸΌ YouTube: youtu.be/GteMRhTftNA

Three weeks after launch, Garmin have released an update addressing several critical issues I uncovered during my initial testing... but people are still returning their units for a refund. I dig into why over on YouTube: youtu.be/yTcAKA13QIU

Getting new smart trainers to the Lama Lab has proven challenging over the last 12-24 months for various reasons. πŸ€” Thankfully Magene were happy to send over their new T600 Eco model to be put through the Lama Lab test! πŸ“ŠπŸ“ˆπŸš΄πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈβš‘οΈ YouTube: youtu.be/vk3f3yGuAAM

Everyone loves new features in a firmware update, but not the hide-and-seek game of figuring out where Garmin tucked the settings to actually turn them on. 🀣 I've got you covered. Full details of Garmin EDGE firmware 30.18 over on YouTube: youtu.be/xCUpsX0Wkwk

The radar performance is so good on the new Varia 820 it actually breaks ANT Radar support in a very interesting way. This is something Garmin will need to address quickly on what many riders consider a safety device. βš οΈπŸš΄πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ.......πŸš—βš οΈ YouTube: youtu.be/WxJRZutFL3g
