Anyone heard of this power meter? Dual sided at low price? Still at indiegogo though, so there is a risk associated:

Guys, my RD just wont shift to the smallest 2 cogs. I tried adjusting the barrel shifter and also the H bolt on my RD (counter clock wise). It will just stay at the 3rd smallest cog on its max. Any idea whats wrong

I personally prefer mechanical ;D

Both TT and RBs are on mechanical

TT could benefit better from electronic shifting because we can shift on the basebar, especially during climbing?

Btw, for the upgrade kit, I believe the components will be different between RB and TT?

Having that said, I find myself able to produce higher power at lower cadence with relatively lower effort, somewhere around 75rpm rather than 90rpm where many ppl claim to be more optimal

Another advice needed,

Shall i be still looking at these older gen alloys, or shall i go for new cheap Carbons below Rm2k range ...like those from Prolites, SuperTeam. and etc.

I have a pair of 50mm superteam and I think they're good.

Z2 refers to heart rate zone or power zone?

Have been doing some survey on local bike fitting service:

Vo2Max: RM750
LittleRock: RM700
Cyclery Damansara Perdana (Retul): RM880
Specialized Bangsar: RM700
PedalUp Cycle (GuruFit) : RM600
Custom Bike Fit (Wong): RM290
SA Bike (Owned by prev Ironman MY champion) : RM150
CM Bike Sports: RM200


Given the huge price variance/gap, is it worth going for the first 2? After all, we might need to refit once we change saddle, pedal, etc in the future.

Anyone done any bike fitting from any of the above or even other places?

Thanks for the input. Seems like the choice is rather limitless.

Vo2max and specialized bangsar is retul also. Sue Teoh national triathlete upcoming Asian games just did her bike fit with Vo2max. Vo2max rm700 includes rider assessment, if only fitting on bike is cheaper

I dun think this is for puncture repair kit... the canisters are way to big... I recalled mine is 16g. That's 95g, 4000psi and 17cm in length!!!

The label and adverts seem to be pointing for plant usage...

Think this one should be correct?
