Any suggestions???? Powertap?
It's a solid option, but it won't give you the left/right balance.
However, it's debatable how important l/r balance actually is (I've got it, it has been useful for bike-fit reasons, but not so much for training).
I'd get the Powertap wheel in your situation (unless you can learn to like the look of the Rotor cranks, in that case P2M).

Morning all, I'm just coming back from months off riding due to a knee injury. I splashed out on some new wheels to celebrate (50% off at wiggle) but wondering if a power meter might be a better idea (wheels haven't arrived yet, can send back to wiggle). Wanted to get some suggestions from the forum.
I have campy 11 speed (athena, silver) on my bike which I think limits options a bit as I'd prefer to keep the classic look. I've seen there are some campy-compatible cranks (FSA, Rotor etc) which work with crank arm based power meters, but they're usually a bit ugly IMO. The specific campagnolo P2M option is just too expensive unfortunately. I've seen the 4iiii power meter (if it's available in the UK) can go on one arm of my crank but apparently not both - and with my previous injury, I reckon I'll have a bit of leg imbalance, so this isn't great.
Ideally I'd want L/R leg readouts (to see how I'm doing with getting my right leg strong again). I know the garmin Vector can do this but I was planning to move to speedplay pedals as they seem to be the most knee friendly... I saw there was a speedplay-based system in development by Brim Brothers but no idea when this is going to be released...
