Power Meters / Powermeters (SRM, Powertap, Quarq, Ergomo, Vector, Stages, power2max, P2M, 4iii, InPower, Cinch)

About 5 swaps for me. Now it lives on the "training" bike and the nice bike never gets ridden

Same drilling as the 6800 aren't they?

Yep, that meter had 9000 rings on it before it arrived at casa Dammit.

What cranks does it take though? The 7800-repainted-to-look-like-9000 that the SRMs use?

Rotor 3D+ (and whatever shares that spline pattern).

BSX or Moxy?

Depends heavily on whether said power cranks have a built in self extracting bolt and can be removed without the aide of a rubber mallet.

I already have DA 9000 cranks though. I was hoping to avoid getting rid of them.

Post them to i-ride, get them to mount the Pioneer units, job done.

I would try to do it via the US if at all possible - I did so and got the powermeter for $999.

The dollar wasn't so horrifyingly strong then, either.

Not another option. Nah, I'm only running Powertap or Power2max. SRM wireless at a stretch. I can't be dealing with another different unit. Push comes to shove I'd use SRM on the existing cranks or buy some Rotor Flow or something similar that meets my crank length needs and fits the BB.

You can't, since the 9000 cranks don't have a removeable spider, which is why the SRM '9000' cranks use the old 7800 SRM-special cranks repainted to look like 9000 cranks.

It's all ANT+, Pioneer "just works", and it's literally the only way you can keep your cranks (other than Stages).

I like my unit, is good. But then so is P2M and Powertap.

Ah, I see. I just assumed they'd make it work.

For £1000 though I could buy a whole new Rotor + P2M setup though I think? Flow are their TT cranks + 700 euro? for the meter?

Is there any way to check a powertap hub is firing. I built up a mtb wheel over the weekend and couldn't get my garmin to detect it. That was just twisting the freehub in my hand though.

Spinning it should be enough. If it's not been found before though it could take a while (like a minute) for detection so mount it in your truing stand and spin it. Got batteries in it?

It should wake up as soon as you spin the wheel, and be detectable by a garmin. If it doesn't, and it doesn't need new batteries, then it sounds like it's FUBARd. It's not much use if it can't be detected by the garmin, at any rate...

Didn't really give it much of a chance. I'll try spinning it. No idea about batteries. It's brand new so I assumed it had some.

Saying that I installed my p2m and had connection issues. Before realising that the extra battery in the box was in fact 'the'battery.

It ain't light....

It can take quite a while for the older ones to be recognised by the LYCs. This was with the Powertap computers, not sure if Garmins take as long for an initial pairing. Don't throw them in the bin without giving it a good 1-2min spin.

My tyres weigh more than that. #ww

Are those spokes tight enough?

Yes, true - the only reason I bought my Pioneer is because a) I wanted to see what it was like and b) it allowed me to keep a Shimano crankset, as I'm convinced that their rings shift better than the competition.

Pioneer does left only @hippy dont you feel dirty not using all shimano? Plus nothing shifts better than shimano chainrings on shimano group.
