But seriously, you haven't noticed any sudden spikes or drop-offs in speed in your recorded files since ditching the magnet?

Of course, keep in mind that I'm in the desert. There's not a lot of trees or anything blocking the gps.

Remove the green? Just about to sling on some black tape as I can't stand the white stuff.
Currently running a shorter stem due to back issues.
Hawt or Nawt??

I had actually purchased the hub mounted speed sensor shortly after they came out. The battery had died in it and I didn't even notice until I tried to sync it with my new 820. After that I just left it off and haven't really noticed much of a difference. Since going to a power meter, I hardly even look at speed anymore.

I think the problem I have is that I live in the veritable jungle known as N GA, so the GPS isn't as reliable over the entirety of a given route.
When I'm on my "B" bike, which doesn't have a magnet, my recorded files look like a richter scale readout after a mag 6.5 quake.
(Yes, I'm being hyperbolic, but not by much!)

Just got it: Hot or Not?
Frame is ugly, ugliest aero frame.

backward seatpost, huge stack of spacers + flipped up stem, saddle set very high on an already tall bike.
It's pretty obvious that the owner is quite tall, but likely has a short torso. This is a common issue for tall cyclists.

Custom carbon fast cx bike would be tough.

I'm sure many will disagree but composites engineering is highly complex and still rapidly evolving. It's the large companies with big R&D resources that make the best carbon bikes imo, and today aero is engineered into road race and endurance frames too.

Aero isn't a huge bonus for a CX bike.

you would be surprised at how much R&D testing goes into building a custom frame. The biggest drawback to a custom CF frame is weight. Many builders won't build the lightest frame possible, simply because they don't want to see their frames ever needing repairs.

With just the bike, all anyone can really do is speculate.

KOPS isn't as important as many used to believe, but more of a result of being centered over the bike. On most TT/Triathlon bikes, the knee is forward of the pedal spindle, but it doesn't cause a knee issue.
