Would really like to be able to customise the HUD to choose what to show and what not to show and move the components around. In a workout for example I don’t need to know who the other riders around me are, whereas for a group ride or race I do. It would be nice to be able to toggle it on or off…

Start running. Then you’ll see calories.:wink:

[image] Paul: It would be a rough estimate at best. I don’t track calories personally, but isn’t biking with a power meter one of the better methods to estimate calories burned? I thought it was something like ±5% accuracy with a well calibrated power meter due to differences in efficiency et…

From what I’ve read it’s within 5% accuracy if using a power meter. If it’s based off heart rate it’s within 20-25% and if not using either it’s just a guess.

According to google-fu: calories = kilojoules/4.184/.25. Kilojoules are derived from watts done over time… so why would calories not be precise? How 'bout making Drops=Calories ? :grinning:

When someone says that power expended is ‘within 5% accuracy’ for calories expended, what measurement are they using to compare to? When a food’s caloric content is measured in a lab–the way they get the number you see on a package–is by burning it. Literally burning it, with a flame. Stomachs don’…

[image] Tom: When someone says that power expended is ‘within 5% accuracy’ for calories expended, what measurement are they using to compare to? I think this is a good summary… [image] kJ to Calories Conversion: How many calories do I burn cycling? kJ to calories is important for …

[image] Tom: When a food’s caloric content is measured in a lab–the way they get the number you see on a package–is by burning it. Are you suggesting they should remove calories from all food labels as well? Calories may be not be perfect, but it might be the best measurement for someone’s go…

No, I wouldn’t say that calories should be removed. But possibly changing them to something that clearly indicates the imprecise nature of the number would be better. “~300 calories”, for example. The major problem as I see it with calories being believed to have precision is because often people’s …

I know in general what they’re doing. My point in asking the question was to lead into the notion that what the watt numbers are being compared to is already imprecise.

[image] Tom: the watt numbers are being compared to is already imprecise. As are the calorie totals on ride summaries which are already provided. So the cumulative dashboard metric requested would not be any less precise than the ride total currently provided. Given the wide variety of equip…

I asked for a way to turn the HUD off in October 2015:

We got that option in April 2021, so around 5 and a half years later.

By my reckoning, this November 2018 request should be due this month.
