Hi,
I am considering getting a power meter, so I am evaluating my options.
I have made a list with what the pros and cons are for me for the
different ones I am aware of. They are all expensive, so I don't list
that as a con for each one.
PowerTap
pros: a few models in different price ranges.
cons: I'd like to use for trainig and racing, so 2 hubs would be
expensive.
SRM
pros: allows any wheel
cons: I like my 195mm cranks, the longest SRM is 180mm.
Polar
pros: bike spec independant, altitude measurement.
cons: lots of wires, fiddly install, can't calibrate by standing on
pedal, silly watch type head unit (why isn't it shaped like a bike
computer?)
So what should I get? I am leaning toward the Polar despite it's issues
for the transportability.
Suggestions?
Joseph
