46 - Notio Aerometer

• 3:00 what is the Notio aero sensor and what it does
• 6:30 gear that’s fast on one rider at their speed is not necessarily fast on you at your speed
• 8:30 the impact of rider speed on aerodynamic drag
• 14:30 the inspiration behind the creation of the Notio device
• 17:15 the evolution from a full integration sensor to an aero meter
• 20:00 how does it work?
• 21:00 how does Notio assess rolling resistance drag and mechanical drivetrain drag?
  • User input for both.
  • If precision is important, controlling variables like road conditions, wind, traffic, temperature is key 
  • Notio will help analyze data for any and all users
• 29:15 Benchmark ride / test:
  • ~2km out-and-back, 
  • software cleans up the aero data and returns a reliable CdA for the run
  • Great for multiple passes on the same stretch of road on the same day to test equipment or position changes
  • What you can learn from a benchmark ride
• 39:45 Free / training ride: 
  •  Useful for assessing sustainability of a tested position
  •  Gives you data for the whole ride 
• 43:00 limitations of the device in non-zero (side wind) airflow conditions
• 53:45 the challenges of interpreting the data and displaying relevant information to the end user in real time
• 57:30 using machine learning to improve analysis and better predict correct data and weed out errors
• 1:02:30 the possibility of integrating Notio data with other metrics tools on the market 
• 1:09:00 the case for club / coach use of the device for testing 
• 1:11:00 what’s next for Notio?

To try it for yourself - for those in the Toronto area - send me a note and we'll set up an outdoor wind tunnel session once the Covid-tine has been lifted.
