Only Polar Power Meters are compatible with Polar receivers as far as I know.

I don't know the RCX5 or whether it is power compatible.

Polar power works on chain tension/stress.

buy a PowerTap best value for money and very good after sales support. www.bicyclepower.co.za

 

PowerTap is ANT+ and Polar is not ANT+ compatible so that wont work

 

Polar uses their own W.I.N.D technology instead of the more common ANT+

 

You would need to look at Look Pedals which is compatible with Polar. http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2011/09/everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know_19.html

 

Most other Power meters are ANT+ so your choices are pretty limited. But then again Polar likes using outdated technology like infrared, which limits you in anyway.

yes i know the Polar will not work with any ANT+ Power Meter like PowerTap however it will be much cheaper to buy a brand new PowerTap full system for around R10 000 than buying the Polar pedal systems that by the sounds of it retail for close to R20k then poor JacquesZA will have to buy some other Polar watch that will work with his new pedal system.

 

from what i could see the Polar RCV5 will not work with a power meter even Polar's one
