I have had a Shimano Power Meter for a while, and I use a Garmin Edge 820. My power is linked with Garmin and displays live data on screen, and my rides transfer to Strava from Garmin Connect. However I am not currently getting any power info into strava so I can't review this info easily in starva, which is mainly where I do my post ride analysis.

I can also see the power data in Shimano Connect Lab, which is also linked to Garmin for the ride data so it is clerarly logging it.. I think that shimano connect lab should export the power data to Strava but does this happen alongside the Garmin export?

The first thing I would check is if the file Strava receives from Garmin Connect has power data in it. On Desktop (not available in the app), go to your activity and click the "..." menu on the left side, then select "Export Original" to download the file Strava received. If it's coming from GC it will be a .fit file, which you can view in something like Once you've loaded the file, scroll down to the data records (there will be lots of them) and look at a few random ones to see if they have non-zero power data.

If the original file is missing power data, the issue is in the source of the data. You'll first need to figure out if the upload is coming from Garmin or Shimano. I'm not familiar with Shimano Connect Lab but in Garmin Connect you can view the activity and make sure it shows power data. You can also do a similar check by exporting the original file from GC (Click into the activity, gear icon in the top right, export original) and checking it in the same way you checked the file from Strava. I assume Shimano has a similar functionality if it's the data source. If that file does have power data, then you'll need to contact Garmin/Shimano to figure out why the file they're providing to Strava doesn't have power data in it.

I did as you said. Downloaded fit file from strava, and looked at the data.. I couldn't find power but I did find that ftp power data was sent.. Do you think this means that the power data is getting there??

PROMOTION : The promotional strategy was intended to convey this feeling of freedom of riding a bicycle and to draw non-cyclists to the stores that sold Coasting. Newspaper advertising and guerilla marketing were used to increase awareness of Coasting, and the website Coasting.com was central to explain the concept and present bikes to consumers. The design of this flash-based website is fun and interactive, storytelling is used to involve the visitor (storytelling is part of the Design Thinking process, according to Tim Brown) and content encourages people to get on their bikes. Ideally Coasting bikes. Beside this, a demo-tour was also organized in several U.S.-cities to bring the bikes to the poeple and encourage PR & publicity.

I have a schwinn shimano auto shifting pedal break bicycle & it is a horrible ride. It shifts at all the wrong times. The seat is brutal. The handlebar style is awful. What is great is that i can ride on grass & gravel with greay eaze due tonthe great tires. It cost me $600 & regret it.

I just ran across your blog post. I am fascinated by this case because I am in the process of developing systems for a global corporation that will be used by people from hundreds of cultures. The Coaster program seemed to start with such promise and then failed. Do you have anymore thoughts on why it failed?

Hydraulic braking systems require that there is no air in between the caliper pistons and the primary piston. Air bubbles will compress and cause the brake to feel soft when the lever is pulled with force. Additionally, the fluid can become dirty with use and should be changed.

Brake bleeding is considered an advanced service procedure, and requires a thorough technical knowledge of the braking system. If in doubt, or if this procedure is not working, contact the brake manufacturer for model-specific information.

It is important to always use the appropriate brake fluid for the brake being serviced. Never use DOT brake fluid in brakes designed for mineral oil, or vice versa. Never share bleed kits between DOT fluid and mineral oil systems. Mixing fluids can cause damage to components and lead to brake failure, which is dangerous.

This article will use the Shimano XT M800 as an example for most steps of this procedure. Illustrations of the proper angles to set the funnel for all styles are also provided. If you are unable to find your brake lever style below, see si.shimano.com for technical information.

Completely remove the bleed nipple cover and store it in a safe place. If working on the front caliper, it is sometimes better to remove it from the mount. This allows better access to the external bleed nipples.

Fill the syringe about 2/3 full with the appropriate brake fluid. Hold the syringe upright and pull back to clear the tubing. Then slowly and carefully push the plunger until fluid comes up to the end of the tubing.

Close the bleed nipple at the caliper. Now the syringe can be removed from the caliper. Pull back a little on the syringe as you disconnect it from the caliper in order to minimize dripping. Remove the syringe holder.

If the fluid in the funnel was dirty, install the funnel stopper. Remove the funnel and dispose of the dirty fluid. Reinstall the funnel onto the lever, remove the stopper and refill the funnel over half full with fresh fluid.

The next step is to reverse the flow of fluid from the bleed funnel downward and out at the caliper. Select the hose that has no fitting on either end. Install the compression sleeve on one end. Insert one end into a plastic bag or other receptacle. Secure the hose inside the bag with a zip tie. Attach the hose to the bleed nipple and secure with the compression sleeve.

Be sure the bleed funnel is more than half full, then loosen the caliper bleed nipple one half turn. Squeeze the lever gently to start the fluid flow from the bleed funnel down to the caliper and through the hose into the disposal bag. Tap along the length of the hydraulic hose to encourage any bubbles to dislodge.

Quickly open and close the caliper bleed nipple once. Pressure will be lost at the lever as fluid is forced out the nipple. Loosen the strap and re-pump the lever until it feels firm, then re-tighten the strap. Repeat the quick opening and closing of the caliper bleed nipple. Remove the strap from the lever.

Rotate the brake lever so the funnel is 30 degrees back from vertical. Squeeze and release the lever a few times while inspecting inside funnel for any bubbles. Then rotate the lever so the funnel is 30 degrees forward of vertical for a second burp positon. Again squeeze and release the lever to clear any remaining air bubbles

When there are no bubbles appearing from either tilted funnel position, rotate the lever until the funnel is vertical. Plug the funnel, and remove it and the adapter from lever. Always check that the adapter O-ring did not get left behind in the lever.

Install the lever bleed screw with O-ring and secure. It is a mild torque of 1 Nm. Return the lever to riding position and secure. Remember also to return the lever reach and free stroke adjustment to their original settings.
