Coach Wharton receives no compensation for these endorsements.
This is simply an informal list of some products and services that Coach Wharton finds quite useful as a cyclist and a coach.

Equipment

CompuTrainer

The CompuTrainer by Racermate is the ultimate indoor trainer. No other ergometer has the same features in one package: smooth resistance, customizable workouts, distance-based exercises or time-over-wattage based exercises, and pedal stroke analysis. A CompuTrainer IS REQUIRED for use with Coach Wharton's services. Interfaces with a PC (not included).

iBike

The iBike is the on-bike power meter that does it all. It has more features than any other product out on the market. It is smaller and lighter than any other product, and it complements your indoor power meter, creating a powerful base of knowledge which can be used to further implement your training protocols and wattage training zones. It also happens to be the least expensive power meter available.

Quarq

Quarq is the relative newcomer to the wattage training world, and either in standalone version (compatible with a Garmin 705 or its own Brain CPU), or in conjunction with the iBike, it is a VERY strong contender for Best Product. The product uses ANT + Sport, a universal communications protocol that allows the iBike to read the signal from the Quarq. The two units then combine their information to generate even more useful information than when used separately.

Taking the Quarq's power signal and the data from the air pressure sensor, the rider and bike become a rolling wind tunnel. Positions can be optimized and then assessed to determine "Time Advantage", something not possible elsewhere. This is an unbeatable combination, and is Coach Wharton's personal choice for outdoor power meters.

Alpha Q Forks

These are some of the fastest, lightest, and strongest forks on the market, and they're known for their good looks as well. If you're looking for an aftermarket fork, or you're building up a custom rig, check out Alpha Q - Team CSC's official Fork Supplier.

Software

WKO+ (formerly CyclingPeaks)

The ultimate companion to your power meter. WKO+ is the best way to manage your training information, and it gives you the ability to look at your data empirically over time, so you can chart your progress. WKO+ works with all power meters, and can be used to detect the nuances of power output in rides, races, rallies, and training sessions. Data is immediately uploadable to the TrainingPeaks web service, thus allowing an athlete to communicate with Coach Wharton from anywhere in the world. WKO+ IS REQUIRED for use with Coach Wharton's services.
