Ah, Winter is here if full force...

I dunno if we have even broken freezing this week!


And what a joy to the bike it is... even with fenders...


At least climbing up the new climb to wasatch by the construction with running snowmelt and mud makes you feel like a hardman.

And you have to kind of ask yourself, should I be riding this new $5200 SRM in it?

But then again, what better way to test it out?

It's here...

enjoy (weight photo included)...

and a couple of things I have noticed already:

1) there is a highlighted note in the cut sheet that came with it that the new head unit now has a polar HR chip in is and they recommend the t61 CODED strap to be used with the unit.

2) the new spider design is nice, and is a significant design change from the old. The outer ring is mounted to the INSIDE of the spider as is the inner ring.

3) this unit is COMPACT inner ring and standard outer, allowing 34/50 or 38(9)/53 fairly easily.

4) the megaExo design will make it easier to switch from bike to bike as there is only one bolt (left crankarm bolt) that seperates the whole unit from the bike, all you need is a 6mm torque wrench.

5) the rear wheel harnes is a bit different and has a nice "POWER" label to make it easy to see which is which. And the wheel magnet is nicer too and accomodates round or bladed spokes.

nice changes...
