Any news on this product (retail price, when available, weight)? Figures. today I got my SL and I find out this is coming out. Just my luck.
Powertap (wireless?)

- Start date
I recall seeing a post on this before, I believe it exists, just not released to public yet. The rumors had it dubbed the PT 2.4 (for the wireless technology). No formal information on release date, although people were speculating fall to winter time frame. Also, the rumor on price was that it was a couple hundred more than the SL version.
All of this is based purely on other's speculation and my memory.

I've heard that they will be released in early October. There are about 4-5 on-line sites taking pre-orders at around $1400-$1500.
Cool. It's hard to tell from the pic alone, but my expectation was that it would be identical to the SL but with 2.4GHz strain gauges. It's possible they did something with the internals (e.g., even more attention to a watertight seal), but that's not going to be apparent without opening it up and comparing it with the current SL.dkrenik said:
Yes, it is my understanding that cadence (at the crank) is still hard-wired. Apart from eliminating the hard-wired receiver, I'm not sure there is any difference relative to the SL.cPritch67 said:
Negotiations are still in progress with Zipp, but I'm not giong to put a couple of new stickers over the yellowed ones. I'm not going to push it until my target events are over in October. At that point, I'm probably going to want to upgrade to the SL2.4 PT hub, so I may negotiate a swap + $$ deal. I'll let you know.

Not to take this too far off topic, but which wheel are you running (303's, 404's & tubular or clincher)? I have the 303's clinchers built up with the PTSL and was considering the same - not sure I could justify replacing with the 2.4 just for the sake of one less wire.
404 clinchers. I would not be changing to the SL2.4 if it were an isolated decision, and I'm not yet certain that I will change to the SL2.4. It depends on other developments that I'm not yet prepared to make public. One way or the other, I will be wireless at the end of this year.cPritch67 said:
Maybe some details at Interbike. When I have something formal to announce, I'll be sure the forum is the first to know. BTW, if you had your druthers for rolling average durations for power, what duration options would you want?dkrenik said:
