The measuring tools

Four measuring tools, separate from your sessions. Nothing here changes a recording. The same Tools menu is on the session page too.

Saddle Angle measures how far your saddle tilts. Lay your phone flat across the middle of the saddle.
Angle is a general gauge for any other surface on the bike.
Stem Calculator shows where your handlebars would end up with a different stem on the same bike.
Cockpit Calculator compares the setup of a second bike against the bike you're already happy on.

The two angle tools need the tilt sensor in a phone or iPad, so on a Mac only the two calculators appear.
