POWER METERS: Crank, Hub or Pedal-based?

[Tankman]

What about the "PowerCal" for R1000 the rest of the money You can use buy a new bike, R15-25K is "Mal"

 

Isnt the PowerCal go give you a more or less indication? Not as accurate as the real maccoy ... remember those Windmax thingies?

doesnt work on carbon cranks as it measures the flex in the crank as you pedal

Thats a very good marketing video

 

What does this system retail for?

[Mr LOOK]

Retail is around R20-22K. Die current exchange rate is not exactly helping.

[GoLefty!!]

excluding or including the Polar head unit?

For a pair of pedals? Eish! a lot of money

[GoLefty!!]
