Power meters?
BY: Guest on 2005-08-29 4:54 AM
Ok, I've had a good season and have seen a 3 mph gain over last years bike splits
(last race an avg. speed of 23.25 mph
). I credit some of this to a good training year and some to a new set of race wheels. I am thinking that my next upgrade might be a training/racing tool like some power meter. Any suggestions, I saw the Ergomo meter among others in Triathlete Magazine and liked the idea of being able to use any wheels with it. Any other ideas?

To be a cyclist is to be a student of pain....at cycling's core lies pain, hard and bitter as the pit inside a juicy peach. It doesn't matter if you're sprinting for an Olympic medal, a town sign, a trailhead, or the rest stop with the homemade brownies. If you never confront pain, you're missing the essence of the sport. Without pain, there's no adversity. Without adversity, no challenge. Without challenge, no improvement. No improvement, no sense of accomplishment and no deep-down joy. Might as well be playing Tiddly-Winks." -- Scott Martin

No offense but I do ride lots, over 6000 miles the last two season. Any useful suggestions, I meant any information on power meters.

Well, I'd personally prefer either PowerCranks or the bottom bracket that has a power meter built in. This lets you use any wheels you like as well as benefit from the data during races and training alike. The major drawback of these two products compared to a PowerTap is that they are considerably more expensive.
