Doesn't look so good value in light of this;

Just a little obvious that someone just finished reading Topham's new book..

no eu price change though.

Doh! ;)

Have to say, thus far, the P2M cranks just work. I've not done a detailed comparison with my Powertap data from the same bike but eyeballing they're close enough for a training bike. Now I just need a new set of wheels... what's that @scherrit? Archetypes have arrived at your workshop? Which hubs would I like? Oh, ok then CX Rays if you must..

True though

Don't need to tell me about more training. :S

Oh, how I laughed, a dead on the inside, mocking laugh at suggestions to increase 8hrs a week to 10hrs a week...

Yeah my P2M has just worked since the day I got it.

But Jesus those dollar prices are insane! How can they do that. Any sensible british buyer will by from US somehow.

Tops does 12 ya slacker

I might go a race in the States again and get a couple of units delivered to my hotel :)

golf clap

Almost as many as I commute. :P

a couple +1 please.

£824 for the rotor 3d+ and crank!

That's £300 less than buying euro.

P2M sort it out.

Tell them.

20% of our price is the VAT don't forget- P2M can't do anything about that.

They could sell them as takeaway cake.

AH! That's fair then.

And in the US you'd be paying a random sales tax depending on whatever state you bought the gizmos in, no?

Not if you buy them online, in my very limited experience anyway.

Oh yeah. That.

So I'm kinda ready to step up another level on my training...I recall reading this thread that a few people recommended reading some sort of book to determine if you need a power meter? On that note, is the general consensus that p2m/quarq are good? (SRM seem to be pretty pricey!)

Would it be better to take that money and throw it towards a good coach/season program?

I would buy Powertap, P2M, SRM in that order and probably not bother with others although other racers I know say Qarq are pretty decent.

Depends. Some people get almost no value from a powermeter and would be better off with a coach or training camp. Others, like myself, are very reliant on them now and throw and hissy fit if there's no power data.
