I've never looked at pedal balance. I give 0 fucks about that metric. I either make x watts or something is wrong and I don't make x watts. I think newer Stages is meant to have improved somewhat and for steady state ultra stuff it's probably fine and dandy but then I use the bike for everything else as well so would feel dirty having Stages on it. Is see a Quarq in my future...
Apart from having to use the slightly more expensive GXP BB instead of a Shimano HT2 BB, I have Zero complaints with my dZero in nearly 2 years of use. I really don't know how the batteries last for so long, even when stored outside in the winter?!
Hippy, your thought on Stages is interesting - It would certainly solve a problem and allow you to use the cranks you want. People say that left-only PM's are not as accurate; is that really a problem for 2-week ultra races, or do you see pedalling imbalances over the course of a race?
