Here is the watteam patent
http://www.faqs.org/patents/app/20130333489No mention of accuracy but it does from my understanding explain how it works on multiple cranks - as it measures the twisting of layers within the sensor attached to the crank rather than the crank itself....

"bicycle raiders" lol
It's the same concept as the Stages, Infocrank, the German FES crank amongst others, that is attaching a strain gauge to a crank arm. I only worry that the size of it and orientation means that they'll probably only chuck one or two gauges in there in the final product, which isn't ideal from a drift or accuracy perspective. If DC rainmaker says extra sensors are going to be <$50 then they won't be using posh gauges either I don't think. Getting people to glue it on themselves is optimistic too. Will be great if it works, at that price point you can give up a couple of % accuracy for some end users, be great if it ended up £300 new over here but that would probably be pushing it and it'll be £500 or something.

Are saddle bags banned?

could you attach the Garmin to the seat rails (behind the saddle)?
If so, Tillquist might help you -

Same at Herne hill, I still do it, as does everyone else. Safer having it there than dangling off some bit of your bike. Stupid rule.
I agree, but it's a rule which appears to be enforced at Lee Valley. Apparently this is on the basis that 'if you crash, you'll end up with shards of glass embedded in you'. Go figure...

Do they check your pockets?!
I don't think 705's have any glass in them.. In any case, I think I would be more worried about splinters and chainrings.
They don't go round physically inspecting pockets, but IME they do keep a very keen eye-out for any lumps and bumps in pockets. You're also not allowed to have a pair of arm warmers in your jersey pockets when you're on track. That's also Against The Rules. As is walking down the six steps to the toilets in cleated shoes, so you have to take your shoes off if you want to go to the loo. There are lots of things I'd worry about more than having things in my pockets and walking down stairs, but those are The Rules.

Riding Styrkeprøven, then taking a month off, has fecked my Power output. So I've been training for a week using mainly HR figures. Its kept me honest, as it does when I'm running. But while I could never pretend to 'need' a Power meter. I value mine far above what I paid for it. Something I never thought I would before taking the (Financial) plunge.
