In Summer of 2017, myself and 4 athletes were one of the first to use the Notio device for aerodynamic testing. In February 2018, I had the opportunity to do a training course with Marc (marcag) in Spain and acquire one of the first available units of Notio Konect *
I am familiar with aerodynamic work (Retül Positioned for Speed ​​by Alphamantis, Manchester 2014) as well as work with Aerolab by Golden Cheetah and estimates via Strava and Best Bike Split, as well as field work with my athletes and with my own person (record Spain time 40-44 with 45.050)
From February to July I have been familiarizing myself with the system and learning to use the Golden Cheetah software and learning about my own methodological errors.
My Thoughts;
Easy to install, easy to use, but requires a training process
Quality of results will depend on meticulousness in the process (it is easy to want to measure something and without realizing introduce other modifications such as a drum not installed or a change of clothes)
Data Obtained easily on the road, without the need to go to a velodrome or wind tunnel
Simple analysis with laptop, but it would be appreciated if the data could be obtained easier in the circuit itself, via mobile app or via Garmin data.
It’s a tool that many things, one of the most important is the efficiency of to overcome the most important force on a flat and rolling terrain
* I have no commercial relationship with Notio or with Argon18, although between 2012 and 2016 Argon18 Spain provided my bicycles to compete. This is how I ended up being an early tester. I have a good personal relationship (I would not dare to call it friendship) with Marc
