Pro 4054   yep, |  Subject: RE: Power Meter or Racing Wheels???Originally posted by tri808 Originally posted by axteraa My Power Meter (once I learned how to properly train with it) has made me faster than my race wheels ever would have. You could probably get a used PT, put a disc cover on the wheel and then a front FLO 60 for about the price of a Quarq? Makes sense for triathletes...but if the OP is going into road racing, the only time he'll be able to use a disc cover is during TTs. Of course the OP could just do as you said and get the rear FLO 60 for another $450. That way he'd have power for training, FLO 60/cover with power for TTs, and FLO 60 front/back for road racing where power doesn't really matter (as I mentioned above). Good idea with the FLO option. I'll keep looking into that. |

I'll keep looking into that. You could actually get a NEW wireless powertap G3 laced into a wheel from wheelbuilder, and then buy a front FLO60 for less than the typical price of a Quarq. |

Veteran 378 The Cold North | Subject: RE: Power Meter or Racing Wheels??? Originally posted by Dlaxman31 The difference between the quarq and stages is about 600-800 dollars. I've read the review on the stages PM. Anyone here try it out yet? Or he could split the difference and go with a Power2Max crank system. DC Rainmaker seemed to like it much better than the Stages meter. |
