It's a figure 8 power lead on the power block, any electrical shop have them.

I'm surprised at such a basic error! What an oversight...

do I need to put a spacer on with 11 speed ultegra cassette I think not but I remember reading on here that someone had a problem and needed to put the smaller 1 on

 

[CXRAndy]

Spacers for 10speed or 11 speed MTB Cass, usually

AND if you are running a disc bike with a 135mm axle don't forget the long spacer- muppet here didn't and could not work out why the qr kept working loose

Love the new rank column in Strava. Bob, we both got a top 900 of 110000 riders in the ZA sprint. Not too bad for a pair of middle age commuters.

Sorry, just realized it was not a new Strava feature. I'ts the "StravistiX for Strava" Chrome extension. Forgot I had that installed.

No worries Lars. It's still not bad for two ageing guys

I'm going for 6pm race tonight PRS. C

Low power output, rusty race craft, firmware updates. I knew my first race was going to be tough having spent several weeks doing long outdoor rides. I spent a frantic final warm up minutes updating the Kickr to new firmware after I decided to do a spin down test, since it's been unused for weeks. After that it said there was a firmware update, so thinking I had plenty of time to update I went for it. That was fine except now it wanted to do a 2 stage spin down test. Reason, is that I have now disabled the strain gauge and use the power reading method that the new Kickr 2 employs. Reading the magnetic forces from the braking system. It completed all these with a minute to spare before the race.
Race was quite low in power but I kept getting dropped due to not paying attention to the pack for a few seconds. Dropped whilst on warm up lap, had to spend a period at 400 W to get back on. Finally got dropped on the last climb whilst staring at the new graphics in the corner. 3,5,10 metres suddenly appeared. I gave up for a moment, but then decided to power in on my own. More training after this weekend to get back my sharpness and peak power

Not sure what happened in the KISS EUR today. My legs just didn't want to go hard. By the time I finished the first lap I'd already dropped down into my zone 2 and took the second lap at a very sedate pace. I wasn't last in C, but I was damn close.

I was wondering about the advanced calibration. I said no when it asked and said that after doing so the strain gauge would be disabled... Let us know if it seems accurate to you.....
