Three's company! For our third revival episode we dive into the not so secret backstory behind Polar's decision to add ANT+. Plus, Tacx kills off their user support forums?!? And Peloton manages to get itself sued for $150 million.  Not only that, but what the heck is the deal with the Kinetic R1 trainer - and will Zwift end up in Google Stadia? And Shane tries out the new Trek/Bontrager helmets.

For anyone trying to make sense of the constant stream of new gadgets and data, The FIT File with DC Rainmaker and DesFit cuts through the noise. Hosts DC Rainmaker and DesFit bring their deep, hands-on experience from years of testing gear and analyzing the sports technology landscape. Each episode feels like a conversation with two friends who just tore apart the latest GPS watch, fitness tracker, or smart bike trainer, offering unvarnished opinions you won't get from a press release. They regularly sit down with engineers, product designers, and industry insiders, pulling back the curtain on how these technologies are developed and what they actually mean for your training. Whether you're a casual runner curious about heart rate zones or a triathlete fine-tuning your power meter data, this podcast delivers practical insights. It’s not just about what to buy, but how to use the tech you have to genuinely improve your health and athletic performance. Tune in for a detailed, often humorous, and always informative look at the tools that are changing how we move.
