www.dcrainmaker.com/2016/08/tacx-smart-trainer.htmlWhereas Wahoo is providing that cassette on their KICKR included in the trainer cost, but if your needs don’t match their 11-speed cassette you’re basically replacing it anyway.

www.dcrainmaker.com/2011/08/separating-product-timeline-fact-from.htmlSo whose managed to hit their timelines? Here’s that group that delivered either before or at their announced timelines (iBike doesn’t really count since they were already shipping): - TACX with their 3.0 software suit - Garmin with their Edge 800 Who almost made it? - LeMond with the Revolution Trainer (missed it by about two weeks) - Wahoo and the Bike Sensor Case (missed by a two-three weeks) And who hasn’t released but is still on target (at least based on public statements)? - Brim Brothers and their power meter (2012) - Garmin with their Vector Power Meter (H2 2011) - Timex gets to sneak into this category since they said “next season”, which we are still in.

Strava renames Premium to ‘Summit’, Changes Pricing Model
www.dcrainmaker.com/2018/08/renames-premium-changes.htmlThus, companies like Garmin and Wahoo need to now change their prerequisite wording to denote something akin to: “Strava Live Segments requires Strava Summit membership, either the $7.99 a month tier for which there is no distinct name, or the cheaper ‘Analysis’ Summit pack.” – No problems, I’m sure that’ll fit on the side of the box in the small print.

COROS Sorta Delays Dura Cycling GPS Till September
www.dcrainmaker.com/2024/07/coros-dura-cycling-gps-delays-cycling-september.htmlAll of this reminds me quite a bit of the original Wahoo ROAM launch debacle, which featured broken mounts within a few weeks of launching, causing Wahoo to cease all shipments for a month or two.
