What Power Meter do you use?
What Power Meter do you use? Vote on the poll!
Me - 4 Polar Power meters, next one might be an ergomo pro if the new Polar Power meter does not have enough 1 sec memory. Sorry, I forgot to put SRM science in the poll! Last edited by JTE83 : 02-01.-2007 at 11:31 AM. |

Re: What Power Meter do you use?
I don't see the Look MaxOne hub on the list.

Re: What Power Meter do you use?
I have the Performance Bike (made by Elite) Real Axiom VR Trainer. I find the speedometer on the trainer reads about 1 mph slower than both my Polar 725x and VDO cyclometers.
I'm wondering if anyone has done any comparisons with regard to the accuracy, or lack thereof, of the electronic ergometer/trainer power meters versus the on-the-bike power meters. |

Re: What Power Meter do you use?
I voted for the Powertap SL (which I've ordered this morning
 and hopefully will arrive next week) basically because I'm fed up with the very average performance of my current (soon to be 'ex') Polar system and the prospect of the new Polar units being a cosmetic 're-hash' of their current unit, albeit 'wireless'

Re: What Power Meter do you use?
What's up with all the people responding "other not listed"? With the exception of the old LOOK MaxOne, all the rest are on the list.

As I mentioned in my post, I'm using a RealAxiom (Elite) VR Trainer for my power workouts. Does this quality as an actual Power meter or is it technically an ergometer? |

Re: What Power Meter do you use?
Actually, neither of the two on-bike PM's I've used were on the list: the PT Pro, and the old E-Tune PT Prolog.

I read the poll as pertaining to on-bike powermeters. |

I consider(ed) the Tune PowerTap, PowerTap Prologue, standard PowerTap, and PowerTap Pro as all being the same thing, since the only significant difference between them all is the handlebar computer. |

Re: What Power Meter do you use?
Am somewhat surprised by the poor relative showing of the Polar versus the Ergomo considering the much higher price and accuracy issues of the Ergomo versus the Polar, and the impression I have of the number of people who say they have a Polar, maybe the people who do have a Polar buy a lot of them, leading the popularity to be low as measured by this poll?
OTOH I have three PowerTaps so if we had a different sort of survey... On other - some people may consider the HAC (among others) a power meter... |

Thanks for the info. I have a VDO cyclometer hooked up to my rear wheel in addition to my power meter/stationary trainer (RealAxiom VR Trainer by Elite) and it appears the power meter/trainer reads, on average, 1 mph slower than the VDO computer. This translates to an ~30 watt lower displayed power reading!! |

Re: What Power Meter do you use?
WHy no Computrainer or I-Magic in the list of Power meters.
Both of these are fantastic |

Presumably because they aren't bicycle-mounted powermeters. Now if the intent of the poll were to also include stationary trainers/ergometers that measure power, the list would have to include many more options (e.g., Lode, Monark, Bosch, Quinton, etc.). |
