Hmm, I need to draw the system to really think this through, but assuming negligible damping, I don't think deflection of any component changes measured power enough to matter, since everything is deflecting at the same time. The reason you get lower readings for a power tap vs crank based pm is fiction losses in the chain. Probably tiny for a track bike. Power taps do have some aliasing effects because they measure time based instead of event based. Not sure how much it matters for sprinters, but it's basically negligible for enduros.
Eta: by same time I mean the time effects are too small to matter for classical mechanics. |

This just brought about a big face-palm for me. It's so obvious. I don't understand how I didn't figure this out myself. Frankly it's just as accurate as a hub based PM, it just doesn't take into account the minimal losses from the chain.

Good luck! Can you talk about it? What style? Where are you placing the strain gauges?

What do you all think of these? They solve a problem that already has better solutions. a price around $750 to $800, give or take. You’ll likely have stem length and bar width options since they’re all handmade. This is the equivalent of having a fixed, rigid car seat drilled into the floor of the car. No sliding, no tilting, no adjustments of any kind. |

They solve a problem that already has better solutions. Why would you pay 2.5-3x the price of a comparable top-tier stem/bar setup to have no angle, reach, or bar tilt options? It's a bad idea. They introduced these back in like 2011. They are not popular for a reason. This is the equivalent of having a fixed, rigid car seat drilled into the floor of the car.

Predator circles its prey with new Major Track one-piece carbon handlebar & stem - Bikerumor What do you all think of these? if i was made of money i'd be all about those, for the cool factor. but i'd want to test out the shape of the bar, first, to see if i'd be happy with the sphinx position; i'd also probably wind up having different handlebars to travel with, since those might not fit into my travel bag; i'd also probably wind up maybe not using them on my next bike, since obviously you can't tweak the stem length and angle. i know a few custom carbon dudes who will wrap a Scatto bar to a carbon stem and smooth out the juncture. that's cool too. but in general, there's a reason that one-piece bar/stem combos haven't really caught on. if they were making sprint bars, madison bars, and road bars, they'd probably be a bit more successful. |

Those predators will look nice, but Im sure will flex like crazy. They are aiming for 350g, when scattos are 380g for a narrow 37cm bar only. Not to mention all other issues with fit, however once you have all that set its not like it changes much.
But I bet they would look cool |

Jake Duehring and Bobby Lea won the Madison at elite nats last year, Jake won the scratch race and finished 2nd to Bobby in the points race.

Women's Team Pursuit data
IBM's marketing department is making hay from IBM's support of USA Track Cycling. Introduction is here, but the really interesting page is the "session analytics" page, which is data from a training run: http://www-01.ibm.com/software/ebusi...mmary_dash.png Winder has 25% of her W' left at the end...get to work, lady! :) |

very cool indeed. That heart rate data doesn't look accurate, valente's is down to hear resting HR during a pull lol.
When you look at how close the top 10 men TP teams are going to be next month, you can start to imagine how valuable this data becomes and its so much more sophisticated then trial and error and guess work. |

Taking advantage of other leading edge sensors (BSX Insights muscle oxygenation – SmO2) can now be considered during a rider’s training session. New analysis capabilities provide an edge to the training program with visibility into new pacing and transition strategy insights. https://i.imgur.com/fs7PIIv.png I have no idea what this is: The solution empowers the athletes with real-time feedback of these critical metrics through the use of Solos™, high-performance smart eyewear, which integrate innovative heads-up display and audio technologies |
