I can feel the addiction coming to me already...and i don't have a PM yet!!
I already looked into developing a garmin app so you can get real time data out of your garmin behind the saddle directly to a laptop in the middle of the track. Then i would create a soft to chart and analyse data in real time so the coach can advice during the session (rather than looking at it after the session at home). Then i would spend hours developing model to analyse the data.....let's get a PM first.
Well i'm even more confuse of what can be my solution....SRM for my main track bike and then P2M for the training bike? Powertap is great but only one wheel....
I agree for the pedal crash but the pod are cheap so i wouldn't mind too much.
Unfortunately with power meters, unless money is no object there is always some compromise (even SRM's seem to need servicing in Germany every now and again).
There is no good solution to wanting to have one PM between road and track. Its perfectly possible to share one between road bikes, provided the bb's are the same. Or you can use a powertap, but having one wheel for everything has its limitations.
Training with power is a slippery slope and quite addictive. Which is why I am currently in the market for a third fucking power meter ... Currently my nicest/ most expensive bike doesn't have a PM and as a result I never ride it, so my options are sell the whole thing or get a PM for it :-/
