Hi, I noticed quite a bit of traffic to my blog from here and saw this discussion so figured I'd sign up and comment.
The small ring thing - There is just enough clearance to operate the prototype in the big ring, but because it's so close I haven't been doing much testing in the big ring. It's still just a prototype. I'm measuring the torque before the spider so it doesn't matter how many rings, teeth, shape, or size.
Both my drive side sensor and Stages are very similar in how they measure. My non-drive side is an ideal load cell though compared to anything out there making it highly accurate.
Thanks for your feedback!
Welcome and thanks for signing up here! I saw your blog turn up on Hack a Day & thought this place would be quite interested in it as well so I posted it here. I'm actually quite suprised it's only had this many comments, the DIY Di2 TT shifters had several hundred and spawned a few replicas across the internet -
If you're interested read here The big ring comments are sort of an inside joke here, there's some "rules" be followed when taking pictures which you might see posters refer to, chain in the big ring, cranks at 90 degrees and valve stems upright etc. If you post pictures around here you're more likely to get people chipping in about how you've not cleaned your bike / patio / lounge than what the photo is actually about :)
Once again, thanks very much for signing up & I hope you stay around here as DIY geekery is very common here :)
