Lots of negativity in here. Most bikes with DuraAce components already aren't the sort of thing you'd leave out on a city street unattended.
One cool thing that stood out to me was that these monitors will transmit data over ANT+ or Bluetooth. As someone who already tracks all my workouts w/ a Garmin watch, I welcome the ability to track more metrics like power output. Gives you a good way to objectively track your progress over time when training for events and can help you gauge the impact of sleep, alcohol, etc on your performance.
- orbitingpluto 9y agoThe other nice thing about BT instead of IR is you eliminate the risk of cross contaminating signals. This is most likely a common cycling in the 90s story but I use to have a heart rate monitor and one guy I would ride with had the same device. His monitor would usually pick up my signal, but not vice versa.

- photojosh 9y agoI'm with you there; love my power meter. But there's a difference between electronics that just give you extra metrics vs electronics that have to be functioning in order for the bike to work!
