Well it seems that Graber have a new Powertap unit coming to the market! Anybody have any further information. An interested party who is just about to buy a Pro

what did you want to know? they'll be just under double the price of a standard. no doubt i'll be selling them at the best price possible, like i do with the other PTs

Of course, now that I just bought the Pro version ~6 weeks ago. :-/

but it's like anything -- especially computers -- there will always be something better around the corner. either way the PT Pro is a great meter.

lighter hub - carbon and aluminium
campy, shimano and fixed wheel options
the "guts" of the unit located further into the hub and inaccesible

may be other stuff but can't recall

Those [censored]. That would solve my two primary beefs -- it's heavy as a brick, and I had to mess w/ adapting the spacing of the cassette to match my Campy 10sp shifters (which cost $130). I hope it at least works with the old harness and computer so I can buy the new hub and stuff it into another lighter wheel.

just to point out, that while the PT is heavier (about 150 g over a "normal" hub) that isn't going to make much difference (if any)

Oh, I know. I like to [censored] now and then like the weight weenies do. Actually, I think it's more like 200g over an Ultegra hub, but no matter. It's not much more difference than a 1/4 bottle of water on board.
