Fixed Ergomo

Ergomo arrived and I successfully mounted it onto my fixed bike.

Job was pretty straight forward, just a question of switching bottom brackets and wiring up speed sensor. Did find, as for HAC, that the supplied magnet for the speed sensor was too feeble and replaced with spare Mavic one I had (test of for a magnet is how hard is it to separate from a screwdriver)

Took it out for a spin last Wednesday and was pleasantly surprised by how easy I found the going.

First impressions are that the Ergomo's head unit seems to have more functionality than the powertap, including TSS/IF measures and an altimeter. Needs a coded Polar chest strap for HR though so need to get one of these. Also like the fact that it uses a rechargable battery which also powers the sensor in the BB. Better than the Powertap.

Link to WKO worked pretty much first time as well.
