I think a good way is to use Garmin pedals, strip down and refitted into Shimano SPD. There are videos of it being done.
Do you have a link, I can't find any

1 @peterob i also spent a lot of time looking at these tracking things a few years ago , there was only 2 options really - one relied on Bluetooth so once your bike was out of range of anyone in the community-using the app then it was pointless and the other was a monthly contract that I didn’t want to sign up for but maybe I should have , I haven’t looked for ages so I guess things have moved on so I ain’t no help sorry
2 @BurningLegs - whatever your trainer says there is no escaping the fact you are putting in big efforts going by your heart rate so your keeping fit - what has got to be the main thing IF your trainer is over reading then it doesn’t take away the fact your riding hard - of course this also means that if your trainer is over reading and you were to move to A different source ,then it might be like someone has tampered with your brakes to make them bind - what would please me no end 😁 ( probably not the best reason to shell out a load of money on a trainer , granted ) ( but also may get tommy to sort out his over reading problem )
But it’s only an IF it’s over reading
If you were concerned could you borrow some other device to check ?
or just leave as is cos it doesn’t matter - this group has always had different trainers amongst us and it’s accepted because it’s all a bit of fun
Only time it becomes heated is when someone tries to deceive by blatantly cheating , not only cheating himself but spoiling fun for others - totally pointless as there isn’t prize money or sponsorship
it’s fun trying to chase you down at the minute even though I am failing its keeping me fit 👍
I hope this comes across as a genuine response that I For one don’t care what trainer your using as we are just playing —- but sow a little seed of doubt what only a shiny new trainer would sort 😁😁
3- @Randyberlin - come on in the waters lovely 🦈🦈🦈😁
4- @IrishAl - I didn’t know that’s how you spell phfffaff ! - o and have you checked your brake ain’t binding 😁😁

well I think that’s everything
Think I have annoyed everyone
Happy Sunday
@bobinski stop reading the guardian while riding and you may keep up 👍
Wouldn’t be the same if Bob was left out

You can phfffafff off. 🤣 If my brakes are binding and it’s holding me back near the Cat B limit then I’m usually Happy, apart from when I am seeing you, Tommy, Alongo, and bridgy disappear up the road 😂😂

I cant find it quickly, I may be mistaken here.......... but from memory :ohmy: :crazy:

You get the Garmin conversion Cartridge kit for Shimano spd-sl pedals.

There are few types of SPD mountain pedals, plastic body and another metal body and flat/spd combo. The metal body has the same internals as the shimano SL pedals. ergo they will fit :okay:

I'll look about later if you cant find it- check some other forums for previos postings :okay:

Trapped between being some what hungover and wanting to have a go up ventooop or whatever it’s called! I managed to crawl up it without spewing so feeling like a winner right now! 👍👍

Lovely course. Felt very long but it’s hard to tell when your not going full pelt. What I’ve personally liked about all the french courses I’ve seen is the greeness of them. They’re not too busy. Just nice and simple countryside graphics which is nice. Ventoux itself has some nice bits. Turning the corner to see the lighthouse is pretty cool. It’s a bit of a shame they haven’t split it into segments like the alp but I guess with the alp bends it makes the a lot easier.

Future cc race event? 🍿
