TBH I've never ridden one, never owned one and I actually think they're probably one of the best looking power meters out there - I was just responding with the same virility with which I was greeted!
Plus, as a massive OCDer the SRAM / Shimano mix causes me a lot of conflict - I chose the Quarq based on a lot of research and one becoming available at a very good price virtually brand new in the flavour I needed - and I was running SRAM at the time!
Ah yeah - they just do little plastic spiders that like to crack..... 4gotz for moment
