• I think I'd like a power meter for my winter bike, for training. Barring building a disc powertap wheel, I'd need crank based bb30.

    Is it worth trying to pick up a second hand quarq for about £250, if the new is £475? I prefer to save a bit of cash but given that I think power meters are probably a bit more susceptible to being broken by misuse is it better to spend more and get the warranty as first owner?

    and relatedly, what's quarq's warranty like?

  • what's quarq's warranty like

    Stunning. I bought a Riken 10R, many years ago, and it died just before its second birthday. Quarq replaced it no problem. Then the replacement died just before its second birthday. Turns out that the replacement also had a two year warranty, so Quarq replaced it with a brand new Elsa upgrade unit, which is still going strong.

    So they're not the most reliable units in the world, but my experience to date is that the customer service is excellent when it comes to replacing duff ones.
