Team BKool CycleChat

[<Tommy>]

I hope you purchased the aero version that's for cycling. If you got the cheaper gym version it will knock about 3 kph off of your top end!

I'm more worried about the snazzy strap disolving in a puddle of sweat!

You may need to check that bkool has picked up the hrm in the settings tab.

I'm not sure about BLE, I believe that you can have multiple sensors just like Ant+. I hope so I've just ordered a Wahoo RPM speed and cadence pair that will be connecting to an iPhone via BLE ( the seed of doubt planted ). Edit to add. I've just remembered I was using a wahoo blue SC and a tickr hrm that I had to pair in wahoo's app iirc. So multiple BLE devices are possible. I'm just not sure about bkool and BLE.

Battery life is about 8 or so hours from my experience. I have not ridden for 8 hours in one go but 3 or 4 sessions of around 2 hours. I tend to just stick it on charge once I take it off, I do the same with the edge once off the bike. Losing your electronics due to no charge is something you only do 2 or 3 times damhik .

One minor thing is you may need to try several positions for the scosche. Some have had issues with pick-up. I put mine on the left forearm on the outside. See here for some other suggestions

Don't be scared about the numbers you see. They are probably the same as, or maybe lower than, you were doing before you could see them . Just learn to read what they tell you.

Cheers mate much apreciated, I'll give it a go later.

It's your chance for revenge for yesterday Tommy.

You lot are crazy doing two races in a row. Besides I think I'm coming down with a cough/cold

TT, don't bite!

I dont think AAAC is from this world!

The thought of racing Bill up a hill is enough to convince me I'm done for the weekend!

I dont think AAAC is from this world!

I've had my suspicions for a while.

i think 5 watts/kg is a bit wrong as well.
i will be getting bkool to carry out an on line check if they can.
yonks ago they moved my 0 datum by 1mm and it made quite a big difference
or i could let my tyre down slowly until bridgy is beating me
oh he does already but perhaps not climbing
or i could just take the battery out my bike which i thought was for my gears until a cable broke

Yeah I fell for that last week with @Whorty and remembered about 30 seconds in that I am a moose not a goat. Trouble is once I start I feel obliged to finish a ride even if it is likely to finish me. I have therefore declined your kind offer.

Breedon - if AAAC was our dad he would have told us to act sharp before he banged our heads together ! warm down my a@,s

 

[BILL S]

I suffered a lot there physically and mentally. Feeling weak after yesterday and watching everyone else gain more and more on me all the way up. In the end I just wanted it to be over.
TT you could have savoured all that. You too Bob

Probably not as nowadays I'd get a call from the child support line (again).
I could verbally chastise you but then I would never get a job coaching so instead I can only offer you softly spoken advice and hope that you take it because I if you didn't I would loose my job coaching!
The only job I could possibly get being as you suggest would be leader of a world superpower.
