What are you having difficulty with, linear pedalling is a simple clever aerodynamic pedalling technique which applies maximal torque through 12 o'c, combines upper and lower body muscles, completely removes the lower back from all the stress and strain of high gear TT pedalling and was the basic technique which Anquetil used to fool the cycling TT world. This new device should clearly demonstrate and confirm that my claim of max torque through 12 o'c is genuine but it will not provide the slightest clue as to how this is accomplished. Unlike F Day's Powercrank's 40% power increase, this technique can be explained and demonstrated in less than half an hour.

Where? How? Please send a "You tube" or some such link so that we all might be enlightened.

Heh, so we've heard. Well, for having perservered through all the skepticism, this new PM might finally give you your day in court.

Agreed. If it comes in at a price point near the powertap or Quark, and has similar accuracy and durability, it will get solid market penetration.

I doubt that a fledgling company will have a budget to get any pro tour team interest, but I could be wrong. Before that, I would expect that they would be best served by independent beta-testing by internet power geeks demonstrating the product to be reliable and accurate.

I made a mistake with the name, actually - my apologies.

It's called "DuoTrap" - Basically, it's an integrated mount for an ANT+ sensor/transmitter system on the new 2010 Madones. It will capture both cadence and speed, and transmit via ANT+ technology to compatible computer head units.

It's a great idea IMO. They have a built-in sensor mount in the non-drive side chain stay.


I'm pretty excited - it's on my new bike, but I don't have an ANT+ computer yet. Not sure what I'll be going with. Maybe if these guys get that new pedal mount power sensor on the market soon and I stumble into a large pile of abandoned cash...
