Oh, I see. I was thinking working out the gears used via software (using cadence and speed), but I didn't think of your approach.jasonc wrote:well if flightdeck can do it realtime, and it's available with ant+, then there must be something that can grab it and plot it afterwardsMarto wrote:I meant for post-ride analysis, as you can do with GPS data on Garmin or strava etc. I should have said what gear you *were* in (in a ride you have completed).

One problem would be guessing which gear you're in when there's two close possibilities. For example, I have 50x28 (ratio of 1.7857) and 34x19 (1.7895) as well as 34x13 (2.6154) and 50x19 (2.6316) on my Trek. I don't know if the calculations and the stored cadence/speed you work off would give enough info to chose one of those gear ratios over the other.
Cheers,
Simon.

I didn't realise either until I took a KOM off Stephen Amos.
Wonder how funny he found that to be ?

Audax rules indicate that a tandem is in effect two bikes as both riders receive a brevet for the ride, though I imagine strava sees it as one bike if they have one fit file. Either way its hard to compete with a tandem on a flat road, just as it is hard to compete with a recumbent.
There are some indications that they are looking at a separate category for tandems, so perhaps in the near future there will be Toms as well as Koms and Qoms.
(edit) if you're really fussed, report the ride and see what happens. It may bring the Tandem category forward.

Now clearly I have an aerodynamic advantage in this situation so not surprising I take the KOM. But having ridden a road bike for 3 years previous it is also clear to me that I am not the best athlete that has ever ridden that segment. It is also clear to me that I cannot sustain an output of 594W of power over 5 minutes like Strava has credited me with.
As such, it would be nice to be able to model my bike as a velomobile with the appropriate aero profiling, rather than just a 30kg TT bike.
Re the ride reporting / flagging, providing the bike / tandem / recumbent / velomobile etc is purely pedal powered, I don't really know what your argument is going to be. ie Its not fair, his bike is more aero than mine??? Are you really calling for UCI sanctioning of strava segments etc. Conversely, would you accept the argument from a velomobile rider that you had an unfair advantage up a hill due to your weight advantage? If owning every local KOM is that important to you, buy one of every kind of bike. My bike is listed as a velomobile weighing 30kgs, so use that as your bragging excuse if you must. Alternately you could use that to understand the relative merits of different bikes in different situations (most people kill me up hills). Otherwise, just relax and enjoy it for what it is, ie nothing more than a bit of fun, and not to be taken so seriously.
So in summary, I like your idea of greater classification of bike parameters, weight, aero profile etc, but mainly for the purpose of better power modelling, not so much the KOM filtering. That said, if you could filter based on bike type, I'd be a hell of a lot more competitive on uphill KOMs. I'm in the top 3 fastest velomobile riders in Brisbane you know
