Hi to all,
I am considering going down the power route for road training and racing as well as indoor training. I am unsure whether to buy an off-the-shelf Power Tap wheel from Cycle Ops or to buy a hub and build from there.
This is what my Cycle Ops dealer/supplier has recommended: 46mm G3 Carbon Wheelset.

I don't need the Joule GPS as I have a compatible Garmin Edge 500.
How good are the Power Tap wheels? Has anyone used this one? The dealer says that while they can build with Zipp, Mavic, FF etc, the wheels cost more and are of lower quality as they cannot achieve the same stiffness.
Has anyone else had this dilemma? What did you do? What was the result?
Also, does anyone have any experience of buyinh a Power Tap wheel or hub second-hand?
Safe cycling
Peter
