• The USE chainring means you can use road cranks on a track bike, but it doesn't solve the problem of the auto-zeroing giving bad calibration results on a fixed gear bike. You need some way to turn off the auto-zeroing, which AFAIK was the only difference between the normal P2M spider and the track one - the track one had auto-zeroing disabled, which you can't do with the normal one.

    These days I believe it's SRM or nothing for track crank-based PMs.

    Isn't auto-zero a feature of the head unit, not the PM? Or does P2M do some re-calibration of itself independently of the head unit that you need to turn off for tark?

  • Ah, good point.

    I'm pretty sure I saw the ability to turn off the auto-zero when I looked at the settings on my Quarq the other day.

  • Please could you explain why this might be an issue for use in a velodrome or in a fixed tt situation with P2M? Shouldn't the p2m auto zero only when there is 2secs of no power which is unlikely to happen on a fixed? thanks
