Here are my thoughts so far. The device is still working great. I have ridden it on my computrainer a couple of times and the power numbers have been about 2.5% off (the Quarq is high) but this is normal given that the Quarq measures at the crank and the Cinqo measures at the wheel. The two things I would like improved are:
1. A reduction in the delay getting data from the Cinqo to the Edge 705. I hope this is a 705 problem that will be fixed with the Cranium.
2. A smaller head unit for racing. All the bells and whistles of a 705 or Cranium are really cool when training but when i'm racing all I want is heart rate, distance, speed and average power. There has been some discussion on the google power group that the Ant+Sport power tap head unit should work. It's nice and small and would be great for races.
Aside from that I'm very happy. I rode the Cinqo during the Muskoka 70.3 which was a wet day and there were no drop outs at all and the data was as I expected it. My only complaint is the 1 second delay getting data to the head unit.
Hope this helps,
Ken
"the trick is to keep losing weight until your friends and family ask you if you've been sick. then you know you're within 10 pounds. if they start whispering to each other, wondering if you've got cancer or aids, you're within 5. when they actually do an intervention, you're at race weight." - Slowman
