Riding <strong>33.77 miles<\/strong> gave me time to compare the Lynskey to my Canyon Endurace CF SLX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Get Acquainted Bike Ride to Huffman\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UKP5l_3XSjQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The two bikes ride different and feel different. One of the first things I noticed are the handlebars: the Canyon&#8217;s oval bar gives my fingers plenty of area to wrap around while the Lynskey&#8217;s round bar is not as generous. Another difference was the gearing. Before the ride I didn&#8217;t think to see what the gears were and selected the gears I use on the Canyon and shift up as the ride progresses. I found that my speed was slower than the corresponding rear cog position on the Canyon so I will look at the gears. I think riding the Lynskey I will need to use the big chainring on the crank which I rarely do on the Canyon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I started today&#8217;s ride I thought the PowerPod was ready to use but it didn&#8217;t want to connect to the Wahoo Elemnt computer. What I wrote on the Velocomp forum after the ride. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Yesterday I did an O&amp;B calibration ride and everything looked okay. After the ride I connected the PP to Isaac and it found a new profile but as it downloaded older ride files it kept asking if I wanted to change the ride profile to the new one which I did not because it was not the new bike. I selected &#8220;cancel&#8221; and the file downloaded and went to the next ride and repeated the process. Is it possible to add another choice like &#8220;No&#8221;?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I checked the new profile and it had the new sensors&#8217; ANT+ wireless numbers.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Today I took the new bike for its first ride with the PP. I pressed the PP start button after waking the speed and cadence sensors (Wahoo wireless) but it would not connect to the Wahoo Elemnt. I went ahead and started riding hoping the movement would waken the PP. No change. I pressed the PP start button several times and no change. Then I pressed the button 5 times but no success. Then I held the PP start button for about 15 seconds. The PP connected to the Elemnt and worked as expected the rest of the ride. I am not sure what I did but it was frustrating not being able to see what the PP wanted or was doing.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>It sure would be helpful if there was an app on my Pixel 3 XL phone that connected to the PP and let me manage it, see what the settings are and add a new bike with sensors. The PP connects to Isaac why not a phone app?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As to be expected the Lynskey and Canyon are different but not a &#8220;bad&#8221; different. I need more rides on the Lynskey to know how to utilize its features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weather during today&#8217;s bike ride: start 75 (29% humidity, 40.4 dew point), a few clouds, wind SW 14 mph. Finish 76 (29% humidity, 41.2 dew point), a few clouds, wind S 10 mph. After Zwifting each day this week I was ready for sun and the outside. This was the answer. Monday&#8217;s forecast calls for cloudy, 74 and a chance of rain. I plan on riding the Lynskey R300 for more learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I saw several other cyclists today. One pair I saw twice, once each time I was riding on W. Lake Houston Parkway as they whizzed by me in there green and black with red taillights blinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a
