Power Meters / Powermeters (SRM, Powertap, Quarq, Ergomo, Vector, Stages, power2max, P2M, 4iii, InPower, Cinch)

Exogram carbon crank arms vs. ? alu crank arms. Reliability, weight, price diffs?

Both reliable, price diff dunno but between 100-150 quid, weight - quite a lot. I've got an alloy DZero I use on my touring bike, and it's pretty chunky. Not a problem on the tourer, which is generally pretty chunky especially when loaded and with me sitting on it, but I wouldn't fit one on a race bike.

This one?

Yes.

+£160 for -221g

Above the magic £1/g mark, so worth the extra cash.

Damnit. I wanted to be told it wasn't worth paying extra for!

Spend the cash on a lighter helmet, new lights or something else worthwhile for an ultra

It's not worth paying for

Could get a lot of apple pie for £160

Or crumble...

Sorry, wrong way round!

Yeah, true but both apple pie and heavier cranks are gonna make me sad climbing over all the Pyrenees. Obviously I'm going to buy the carbon ones... and now I have to buy apple pie...

I've got a lid already. I only buy them once they've been crashed at least 13 times. #becausesuperstitious

I'm buying new lights already.

now I have to buy apple pie...

Accept no other carb

Except chips

Anyone got any experience with Stages 7710 power meter? How useful is a power meter for training on a fixed for road? I'm trying to gain a bit more speed to give more rest time on Audaxes.

Anyone for a Powertap track wheel?

Like any stages powermeter, which seems to work fine for me, though it’s the gen 1 design so worth being careful with water ingress and delicate battery cover tabs.

Would anyone be interested in a Magene Ridge power meter? I'm considering buying one when I'm in China next month and I could lob a couple more in the case.

I've not negotiated with them but they're saying R8000 dual sided crank PM for 570 euros and single sided (either 8000 or 6800) for 226 euros

Just to let people in the thread know. I have a set of Alu rim powertap G3 training wheels for sale in the classifieds.

Cheers.

On a related note, Aerocoach now offer to build powertap hubs on to their disc wheels if you want to race with a hub PM.

Just to let people in the thread know. I STILL have a set of Alu rim powertap G3 training wheels for sale in the classifieds.

Cheers.

SRAM/QUARQ buys Powertap.

Yeah, the same day I take delivery of my first Quarq. Powertap realised it was the future...
