I hope that's because I'm going from Mac to phone to kickr and back again. Id like to be able to use this full time so I could cancel TR and afford training peaks. Am I right in thinking you use a Mac for Zwift? When I just logged on there was an update supposedly fixing a problem with Macs.

Far too many faults for it be a finished product. I made do with 3 repeats of box hill all under 8 mins, think my times were 57,49,44. Had to dig a little for the last one.

Eat.Cycle.Sleep.Win Member 2, 12511 posts SQ 190, BP 150, DL 280 620.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq Administrator	My commute is long enough to keep my legs turning over ok and my base is pretty good. I guess I've earned that much. I've done some pretty big blocks of training this year too. There's either some cheating bandits on zwift or some bloody good athletes. I suspect both.

tabbouleh and fattoush salads were very refreshing Member 267, 8548 posts SQ 220, BP 165, DL 250 635.0 kgs @ 90kgs Eq	Cuddles said:My commute is long enough to keep my legs turning over ok and my base is pretty good. I guess I've earned that much. This will be key for me. If I keep my commuting miles over the winter months, I'll be ok as it's 48km a day. Problem is, my commute doesn't end when I park the bike. I still have a 15 minute train journey followed by 10 minutes on a bus with all the little annoyances of waiting at the station/bus stop. Makes it all very faffy.

I don't really need anything at the moment(a Kickr/Neo, new power meter and Sram Etaps would all be very nice) but do worry given the mess with the exchange rates post Brexit that we might be due some pretty big price increases sometime in the near future given most of the "nice toys" are made overseas! Should we be spending soner rather than later?

Shoes Wheels Power Meter Any thoughts on power meters at the moment? I am very tempted by the Vector 2 given the price they are now at and the fact they seem to have sort many of the problems from the first edition. I'm far from convinced about the accuracy of single sided power and the Stages, whilst OK for day to day use has let me down a couple of times in competitions (well actually 2 out of 3!!)

Eat.Cycle.Sleep.Win Member 2, 12511 posts SQ 190, BP 150, DL 280 620.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq Administrator	I've considered the vectors. I guess I still am. What's the lowest price you've seen and where? I nearly bought a second hand SRM recently but had to behave. I'd quite like an Elsa RS. They seem to be getting mostly good reviews and I'd be happy for a crank system even with the hassle of swapping it over.
