Think my PowerTap track hub SL+ is finally on its way out - it's had 6 years of heavy use.
I'd like to believe I've had a 21w FTP jump after a weekend of bikepacking but no.Could just be the battery being on its way out. I tend to find my older Powertaps becoming strangely generous with average power readings just before the battery waves its final white flag and gives up.

You might be onto something there. Will put some fresh ones in before getting out the money gun.

Thanks, that has corrected my mid-week fitness bump :')
Got a repair quote, hopefully get a few more years from it..
The only solution is to replace the torque tube with the newer G3.
This would cost £320.00.

Is it worth trying to get something that old serviced and calibrated? (it's pre G3 and not on the list but might have the same internals)

I've currently got a Rotor Track crankset on with track axle and track BB - looks like the best option is the p2m Track NGeco? Though it will require changing to a 24mm road axle and probably BB too.
I should maybe get a pedal based PM but I just ride everything with SPD, not sure about the Garmin XC100 and the other bikes have their own PMs anyway.
