If you are a TT rider, you need a PT disc or similar aero wheel which to me is not practical. Try selling one after a season or two. With SRM, and considering the ease of crank removal these days, I think it is debatable whether changing the crank is any less difficult than changing a wheel. I went with a Quarq S crank based meter and have been very happy with it so far. I do not know if it is any better or wore than the SRM but it seems to read very consistent and is quite a bit less than the SRM.
It is awesome. I can use the power meter crank set s either in flat Florida which where I live or in the hills of Georgia! Great choice. All that I have read suggests that a crank based system is more accurate.
Had I purchased a PowerTap rear wheel power meter, I felt I would have had to purchase another front wheel. The firecrest have had great reviews but I felt economically as well as ergonomically, a crank system was a better choice.
One of the reviewers comments on an iBike. We checked and determined that it was purchased in To put the year in context, computers were shipping with Windows XP or Mac OS9, smartphones were nonexistent, and modems were dominant. I have an ibike I purchased in and I am happy with it The bottom line if you are not a racer and rich then paying over bucks for power meter is bit overdoing it in my case.
I am an A rider and do well in mountains so need to improve for big mountain centuries without breaking the bank. Sram quark red and training peaks along w following doc Jespers v02 max training yields results period. Currently following his winter training program and am able to see specific results.

Make maximum power tests to define your intervals It is possible to convert your test result to shorter or longer intervals.
Power output Training examples Sprinting ?? Time trialists uses watts for pacing Time trialists love to train with power meters because they can see exactly how good they perform and make it easier for them to see progress. Power Meters for Pacing Control I normally recommend serious riders to use a power meter for optimization of physical performance. Previous post: Power output during stage race.
Next post: How to train with a power meter for VO2 max. Comments Really am hooked by cycling. A lot has improved in the last 6 years, including the technology and performance of the iBike. Dear John, What is the drag coefficient of my cowboy hat? Set off at a power in your endurance zone — it will feel easy to begin with. Calibrate your power meter regularly. Normalised power accounts for intervals and efforts that have occurred over the entirety of the ride. Average power will simply average out the training session as a whole, which can lead to misinterpretation of more intense sessions that may have been more fatiguing.
Think of zero offsetting a power meter as the same process as resetting a set of measuring scales. Air pressure, ambient temperatures and other things can alter power meter readings in between rides. Many power meters and training programs convert training effort into stress, load and fatigue scores. If your power meter is outputting additional figures, here's how to understand them….
The higher the number the more strenuous it has been. Rides that are completed more recently will be more weighted towards this number.
