Interesting. I'll try and stick them on a bike with a Powertap and see how they compare for me. It'll involve syncing two power files, which will be a massive PITA, but such is life. From my trip to Mallorca the power readings from the Vectors seemed pretty consistent with what I'd expect them to be, although I'm not sure my self-assessed power estimate is accurate to 10%. Definitely not at over 300W.

don't!!
I have vectors and even set up correctly they under read incrementally higher the more power you put through them vs. a watt bike, i'm pulling together proper data but at up to 200 its about 1% or less, then up to 300 it grows to about 5% and over 300 it gets up to 10% out, so they are probably ok for weekend warriors and indeed most club rides I avg about 200 or so, but for TT'ing I think the inaccuracy is too great!
