EDGE705
FIrst outdoor ride on my Tommasini with aero bars and shortened stem. It is much less stable. I rode for about 30 minutes in the aero position. The saddle hits in a different place, and it is a little harder on the neck area. I didn't use the aero helmet yet. I can see how a wind tunnel would really be helpful in figuring out a good position.
The position of the 705 between the aero bars may make satellite reception off, and the distance incorrect. I think the distance for this route is actually about 10 miles (not the 9.25 reported by the 705). I think I am going to use the PT yellow cpu head in the future. If you look at the graph, there are a lot of spikes in the speed, which is reported by some as a 705 issue. I don't ususally use the 705 for power data collection, just for seeing the averages real time on the bike. I will go back to that in the future.
