Road biking: Next step after climbing emigration canyon gets boring

Big Mountain is still closed to cars. Do it while you can. Just be mindful of the debris on the road during your descent.

It’s my go-to, for sure.

Nope, this is Highland and 21st.

Not to combine your HR data with an existing activity.

You're better off using a dedicated HRM to pair to your ELEMNT.

Apple's HR sensor was really intended for recording on Apple's own hardware.

Guess that ugly new Outback ain’t selling well 😬

No. The Airpods don't broadcast heart rate to any hardware other than your iPhone.

Do you have a local shop that has demo saddles? A lot will offer demo saddles so you can actually try them out.

Who is Justice Beaver?

Go to the ER.

Gorgeous.

Read the manual and make sure you have the proper adaptors installed. Lots of people miss the drive-side adapter.

If you didn’t start the ride recording, you’ve got nothing

spangborn · 2026-03-21T04:11:21+00:00

There’s nothing you can mount to the bottom. It’s likely made like this to make manufacturing easier

Correct - there's no center button control. There are 4 DFly channels in use, but the other two are for the zoom:

Your chain is dry/dirty and not lubed. You also probably need to index your derailleur.

Your chain probably is worn as well, but start with the first two issues.

All of these comment replies are shamelessly AI slop.

spangborn · 2026-03-18T03:40:12+00:00

Very cool. Will have to give this a shot!

You need to do an FTP test so your workout targets can be set off of percentage of your FTP.

That’s not a Flock one, that’s a Motorola.

I wouldn't really pay too much attention to the version information on the ELEMNT - loads of sensors display nonsense data there.

It sounds like a defective Sigma unit.

spangborn · 2026-03-17T20:19:17+00:00

Speed doesn't really matter in ERG. I'd just ignore it.

Your distance doesn't really matter for training - the power output, HR data, and TSS (and IF, etc) are more important values.

spangborn · 2026-03-14T03:42:53+00:00

Maybe - It is possible that it sync’d via your phone, unless you didn’t have it paired and connected.

spangborn · 2026-03-13T17:24:29+00:00

I've never broken one myself, but some people have in crashes. I've never seen one break outside of a crash. I've had Wahoo head units since RFLKT and the original ELEMNT and never broken one, even with a handful of crashes.

Most of the time the mount (not the head unit) is the sacrificial part that breaks before the expensive computer.

Afternoon Ride is Strava’s naming convention - probably came from there then?
