Default Archaea, what kind of gadgets do you run on your bike?

GPS computer? Or non-GPS computer?

Power meter?

Do you do Strava?

I used to use a Power meter but now I use almost nothing. I just ride.

what kind of power meter did you use?

I lost my cheap computer.

So I'm just running strava on my cellphone on my pocket. So I have no direct monitoring as I ride. My HRM straps are all broken.

These:

Garmin, Power Tap and SRM.

Garmin or Power Tap are better buys.

Powertap is a lot cheaper. But I guess I don't really need any of them as out of shape as I am.

Buy the power2max and then upgrade your bike. Fixed that for you.

yeah right. I already have 2 bikes. I guess I could sell both. Might be able to get $700 for both of them, not even enough to pay for the power meter.

My better bike is an aluminum ultegra grouppo.
