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

If you can get it trade, get a Stages... Otherwise buy a 2nd hand p2m spider/crankset

I know what you mean. I've always felt the same. But joking aside. A mate that I go on training travels With. That has always been 30w* stronger than me, and a notable bit lighter. Was a few kilos heavier than me this year. Plus only had about 15w* on me.

Riding next to him on ascents, knowing I was putting out 10w* less, was just the best feeling.

Motivated now all of a sudden. Now that I've actually felt the effect.

(*all speculation as he was using stages)

Rotor 3D+

I HAD FORGOT about trade discount.

enquiries made.

I got mine trade. It was tidy.

I keep swinging between eating all healthy then going mental and eating everything. I just can't maintain a weight loss diet. I'm not meant to be lighter, it makes me angrier than I already am and I'm scary enough to the people around me already. I was going to try a dietitian type arrangement with the same logic I used for justifying coaching initially - they might not tell me anything new but the fact I'm paying them to tell me makes me stick to it. Unfortunately with all the other race expenses I've struggled to pull the trigger, mainly I'm worried I won't stick to their diet plan and I'll have spent money for no result. I know what healthy food is but I really need someone cooking it for me, not someone telling me what I should be eating. It needs to be ready to go so I don't go mental and eat a kebab to stave off the murder death kills..

Out.

I need to order P2M for the Hollowgrams I'm going to try. Maybe I should try the Hollowgrams before spending another few hundo on a powermeter..

That's my road bike wheelset. I actually used it for the first time in ooh 3 years the other week, racing a sporting 10.

I find much of this to be true. I'm able to eat healthily because I like cooking, but I still need to eat a lot or I can't handle work and training together. I just get really grumpy all the time.

I'll buy the P2m off you if you hate the hollowgrams.

In my, admittedly long, time on this planet. I've quit solvent abuse, drugs, smoking, Heavy boozing, you name it.

When someone tells me I should quit eating a bowl of cereal before bed, it boils my blood.

Guess I'll keep it up untill the fun of being light wears off. I can see myself setting a load of PBs, peaking, and then getting bored, followed by geting fat.

Maybe you don't put out enough watts? :)

So you've replaced 4 powertaps and you have to run aftermarket free hub bodies, so the product is flawed from the start. Sounds great :)

Cereal tastes better in the evening - SCIENCE FACT

In my experience Powertaps are about as robust as a Fabergé egg

It'll save us (ok, me) a lot of money if I find out if I hate the HGs first...

I have a full sus AM bike Project nearing completion (nearing in 'furry-years'). I picked up a powertap on 50% clearance for it.

I really hope you're wrong.

No, I wanted to convert a wired one to wireless - I paid them for the upgrade. Paligap did this and then had to replace it once (maybe twice? I can't recall now) more because they'd not sealed it properly. Warranty job for them because it was their fault.

The stupid cheap one I bought from the US was damaged so it was a risk but I got a year out of it before it died and then had to replace its guts too. This replacement I paid for (still cheaper than Stages) wasn't sealed properly, again Paligap fault and warranty - replaced for nothing.

I don't -have- to run aftermarket freehub bodies. I do so on two of my five (current) PT hubs.

My data is decent and I've spent less on them than your collection retails at so yeah, pretty good.

I'm still not buying a Stages.

You have very little experience then.

I'll be replacing my freehub With a xd driver anyway.

So if anyone is in the market for a MTB powertap freehub, or 160mm brake rotor. Let me know.

Buy a stages.

I've been using Stages in secret since they came out. I actually have small motors in my oversized Powertap hubs...

Knew it, so obvious really. Are you going to be using trans-inducting warp drive magnetic motors in your rims for raam?

That's what she said?

@hippy, the hamsters running around your hollowed out Powertap hubs do not count as 'small motors'
