What do all you fast guys and gals have on your Garmin/Wahoo screen during racing? Different screens for different kinds of racing? One screen or multiple? I’ll be starting my first Crit season in 2020 and I’m thinking of displaying: Speed and Avg speed. (this will help me in breakaways to hold or…

Agree with the last 3. Not so sure about speed; it isn’t a TT so the important thing is your speed relative to the people you want to beat. That TV graphic they sometimes put up showing breakaway speed vs peloton speed is useless because one might be climbing while the other descending, or taking a …

For road races I like to put the mileage too, so I know how far I have to go and how far away key climbs are. Probably less important for a crit where you have lap cards but if you dabble in road races it’s something to think about. Similarly, I’ll tape a cue sheet of climbs to my top tube if it’s…

[5722] That’s my main screen for training. For crit, I only use MPA/Power and TTR/TTE

For races I do like to include normalized power. This is for both road and mountain and long and short races. 10s Power HR Cadence Avg Speed Total Time Total Distance Normalized Power That’s my raceday Wahoo setup.

If there’s one thing I can suggest, it’s that you should have less data fields than you think. Especially if you’re new to racing, you need to learn how to race and not how to race by numbers. Learn how to read the field, find lines, practice perfect positioning. Down the line with more experience, …

For crits I have: Overall time, speed (useful as a breakaway rider), 3s power, lap avg power, lap time For road races: Distance, speed (again, breakaway rider), 3s power, lap power, overall time, lap time For TTs: Elapsed time, speed, 3s power, distance, avg speed I took HR off all my race displa…

The only thing you need for a crit is time elapsed, IMO. I’ve never had much use for anything else in any crit. Speed and power would be useful for breakaways. Road race you want a power (3 or 5s), speed for the front of a pace line or breakaway, and distance or time or both. Flat out you just don…

[image] kurt.braeckel: Flat out you just don’t need or want much info in intense mass start races in my opinion. This. You really don’t want to be spending too much time looking down at your headunit. And if you really need to, less is more.

I’m considering adding an ave Power/lap for certain mountain bike races that have extended climbs for the purpose of pacing. I always think I have too much on my screens, I need to put some thought into that this year
