With Christmas on the way, my loved ones are looking for gift ideas. Cycling is a big part of my life and I expect to get a few cycling related items. I am pretty well set as far as gear goes, but I lack any sort of power measurement equipment.
The Cycleops Powercal HRM is within a gifting price range. Its cost is less than twice of a regular ANT+ heart rate sensor. I have researched it some and I am aware of its limitations as it is not a true power meter. My assumption is that it is calibrated toward the average cyclist, in terms of age, weight and height; I am a permanent clydesdale. I am wondering how useful it could be as a tool to measure relative power output and use it to start more power oriented workouts over the winter.
Anybody here use one?
