    DC Rainmaker has suggested (inferred, maybe), that Stages may reposition themselves soon in terms of price with the new cheaper power metres coming to market- but it's all a bit vague.

    Can you link me to where he suggests this? If they are about to release something new I will consider holding out

    @andyp
    I'm not a data geek. My main reason for getting one is for pacing my rides but obviously would be good to use as a training tool. Would need to get quite clued up first. I am assuming most people do that after they get the power meter. My lamens perspective on it is that everything is a % of your ftp no? So what difference does it make if its a p2m, stages etc? (other than absolute accuracy).

    @dan Being able to swap between bikes is somewhat of a factor for me, although the only other bike I have with sram on would be the fixed gear and I cant imagine ever wanting power readings for that.

    @hippy Not sure what the graph is showing, other than the stages curve obviously not matching up with the others. But to me the DC rainmaker reviews overall message was that the stages was good and he would recommend, at least thats what I got from it.

    @amey would that 30mm rotor world with my standard threaded 68mm gxp BB?

    Finally, just seen one can buy a single garmin vector "s"pedal for £600. It doubles left leg readings like the stages. I'm guessing this marketed at cheapskates who will run their old keo pedal on the right? I do quite like this idea vs the stages actually as I can keep my sram red left crankarm.

    Bloody hell, too many choices.

  • If you have standard 68mm GXP then Rotor 3D is right for that i.e. 24mm axle.

    Not Rotor 3D+ or Rotor 3DF both have 30mm axle.

  • @Hovis - although you can replace the gxp BB with a rotor BSA30 one and run the 3d+ /3DF 30mm axle in a bsa 68mm threaded bb
