"Limiting the size of bike computers is intended to prevent an excessive increase in the amount of data available during races, which could significantly compromise rider safety. "
Limiting device size is not going to solve this problem.

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.

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. π

I have confirmation the Garmin Rally x10 power meter pedal price drop will NOT be reflected in the AU/NZ markets. π¦πΊβοΈ
The XC210 remains at AU$2249 (eq US$1595).
The MSRP is US$899 in the US. πΊπΈπ€·π»ββοΈ
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.

Zwift acquires Rouvy! Two of the most popular indoor platforms are now under the one roof. #dadjoke
Great news for Rouvy users - They get official support for Zwift hardware. No more hacks!

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. ππΌ

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. π€
Thankfully Magene were happy to send over their new T600 Eco model to be put through the Lama Lab test! πππ΄πΌββοΈβ‘οΈ

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. π€£
I've got you covered. Full details of Garmin EDGE firmware 30.18 over on YouTube: youtu.be/xCUpsX0Wkwk

Under US$100 for a power meter with Β±1% accuracy claims!? Bargain breakthrough or budget fake watts? β‘οΈπ€

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. β οΈπ΄πΌββοΈ.......πβ οΈ

Garmin finally refreshes their Varia radar!
The Varia RearVue 820 brings USB-C, a longer 174 m detection range, improved battery life⦠and a handful of Edge-only features to know before handing over your cash at the new price point.

The American indoor component giant is seeking to address the products that "threaten to erode prices in the bicycle trainer market segment."
