Collecting health data to help your training is not a new phenomenon. Since Polar launched the first consumer heart rate monitor in the early 1980s it has become endemic among almost all professional athletes. In the beginning, athletes simply recorded their heart rates while training to understand how hard they were working, but in recent years the focus has widened collecting data away from the bike to understand how the body responds to training and how it recovers. As the technology advanced, further measures like HRV, the minute differences between each heartbeat, became possible to measure with consumer tech and sports scientists began to research what this long-used medical marker can tell us about our performance and condition.

SRAM Launches GX AXS
SRAM s release of their new GX AXS wireless electronic drivetrain brings the price of ditching cables and housing down to $600, which gets you a new derailleur, shifter, battery, and a charger. It still doesn t exactly fall into the affordable category, but the price should make it more

There s still no news as to when the products might show up in real life, though; at the moment SRAM is firmly in the lead when it comes to leaving those cables behind.
