Re: new Trek Speed Concept Blendr Duo Base and Computer Mount and Device Mount Location

I am not sure that the AeroPod or PowerPod are that useful when on a trainer. The inertial sensitivity is compromised by the lock down of the bike, so I suspect that almost all power to the drivetrain will not be detected. What wind resistance could possibly be converted to any impact on power? The...

Re: new Trek Speed Concept Blendr Duo Base and Computer Mount and Device Mount Location

There is no way to measure aero bar flex, because there is no way to know how much pressure you are applying to the bars, no way to know how bumps/perturbations in the road are giggling you and the bike and the aero bars up and down, and no way to know how stiff your bars are. What if they put the ...

Re: new Trek Speed Concept Blendr Duo Base and Computer Mount and Device Mount Location

Here is a video we made four years ago, showing precisely why AP should not be mounted to aero bars: https://youtu.be/ZjcVGtdjqDk If you believe the aero bar flex problem is theoretical, please watch the video a few times. Sorry, I don't think I ever implied, stated, or said anything that would sug...

Re: new Trek Speed Concept Blendr Duo Base and Computer Mount and Device Mount Location

The under-bar mount we recommend is very small, and I find it difficult to believe it will measurably affect your overall aero efficiency. It's hard to see how adding a GoPro helmet mount to the bottom of the basebar wouldn't cause air to detach, or at least not flow the way Trek intended. In eithe...

Re: new Trek Speed Concept Blendr Duo Base and Computer Mount and Device Mount Location

Thanks. Conceptually there will be some flex in a standard road bike bar/stem, just as there is some flex in the base and bars on a TT bike. Both configurations put rider weight on the bars through a lever. There are a lot of factors that will determine how much the bar/stem of either bike will flex...

Re: new Trek Speed Concept Blendr Duo Base and Computer Mount and Device Mount Location

Is there a way to tell if the level of vibration is problematic? I have been using a very similar setup (one one short metal extension from the Bontrager mount instead of two) on my Speed Concept. The bar setup on the new Speed Concept is very rigid. Nothing is moving as far as I can tell. I would p...

Re: New AeroPod 2.0 CdA app for ConnectIQ Garmin computers

Would it be possible to have the new app provide status information for the connected sensors? I find that LED can be hard to see in some situations.
