Does anyone know if there are significant differences between Strava's fitness and freshness measurement and the CTL/ATL calculator that Training peaks uses? Sorry I can't think of the name for training peaks measurement.

I recently pulled the trigger and had my shop order me a Kickr trainer. It should be here Monday. Trouble is there are so many options for software. I wanted to see what others are using and rate the pros and cons of each. I would like to shorten the learning curve and get the most out of my...

I dont know if this is your problem, but I find my ears making all kinds of wierd sounds if I get dehydrated.

I'm having a problem with either my software or my computer. When I try to import a file from my Garmin 705 a new window pops up and says Training peaks has ecountered an error and is shutting down. I have been using this software for over a year with no problems, and now this happens. Any...

I use a Quark with a 705 computer. It works great. I had a Powertap wireless before, but found myself wanting to use different wheels. I think the end results for both of your options would be very similar, but for me wireless would be the way to go.

Maybe I should have been more specific. I want to use them for my computrainer, so I think GPX is what I will need. I already looked at Garmin's site, but there is only a couple things there. I thought one of the racers might include it in a blog or something.

Does anyonr know if Garmin or any of the other teams will be posting gpx files from the tour? If so where would they be?

Yeah, I started the CTL at 0. I had some training in already, so the ramp rate probably isn't 100% accurate. Lately the rate of increase has slacked off a bit. I use my best normalized 60 min power to set FTP which is 340. I know my average rides for the last few weeks have been about...

So I've been on Training peaks for about 8 weeks now. My CTL is 82 as of this afternoons ride. It has been going up 8-10 points per week. I think there is going to have to be a time when it hits a ceiling. What have you guys found to be a sustainable level without losing motivation or getting...

Thanks.

I just finished down loading a ride into WKO. I guess I must have left the Garmin on before the ride because there is about 6 hours of "ride" in the file that are screwing up the numbers. For example the TSS is over 700 for the ride. First, I want to delete the first six hours of the ride...

Oh thank god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I can finally get a good nights rest.

It depends on how long your chain is. It would probably be fine, but you should test the big/big combo in the workstand first. Of course you shouldn't use the big/big combo, but it happens sometimes by accident.

Yes. It acyually works quieter and shifts better than a SRAM cassette. BTW any hub that is Shimano compatible is also SRAM compatible. They use the same spline pattern.

A wise man told me once, the key to going fast is to spin big gears. Darned if he wasn't right.
