UltraRunner_ZA Posted December 7, 2016 Author Posted December 7, 2016 The Powertap GS Hub is on sale for 6999 and retails at 14k. Seems like a good deal? Is this a reliable power meter and good quality?
Rocket-Boy Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 The Powertap GS Hub is on sale for 6999 and retails at 14k. Seems like a good deal? Is this a reliable power meter and good quality?Very much so, bear in mind you would need to get your rear wheel rebuilt around it but out of the options it would probably be the one I would pick.
BicyclePower Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 The Powertap GS Hub is on sale for 6999 and retails at 14k. Seems like a good deal? Is this a reliable power meter and good quality?Yes PowerTap have been around for the better past of 17 years and the new G3 / GS hubs all come with a 2 year warranty, dual ANT+ & BLE caps and industry leading accuracy. Possibly the most accurate system on the market at the moment. slickandtyred 1
BicyclePower Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 Very much so, bear in mind you would need to get your rear wheel rebuilt around it but out of the options it would probably be the one I would pick.Wheel build labor is R450.00 while spokes are R25.00 each, Total cost will be R1050.00 + R6 995.00 = R8 045.00  Keep in mind the GS is only 24 spokes.

awesme Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 Before you do to much listening... Go Read : http://www.dcrainmaker.com/ G
shaper Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 Rather than read about a IDT power meter, read the comprehensive guide to power meters https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2016/09/power-meters-buyers-guide2016-edition.html
Grey Hubs Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 Getting a power meter with local backup is essential. So far Bicycle Power is 10/10 for that! Understanding the power data and interpreting/analyzing this data is another topic all together. Just starting with power and its confusing to conclude much from all the data. I'm not always pushing myself to the limits every single pedal stroke so difficult to compare... Need to read up on a few ebooks. Using this at the moment software at the moment (free) https://strivemax.com I guess not extreme analysis, but it does give me an idea of how my training affects performance... BicyclePower 1

Veebee Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 Wheel build labor is R450.00 while spokes are R25.00 each, Total cost will be R1050.00 + R6 995.00 = R8 045.00  Keep in mind the GS is only 24 spokes. Very attractive option, more so when you have 2 bikes. Much easier to swap wheels instead of a crank arm. Tempting, but not so keen to tamper with carbon wheels that are still under warranty for another 10 months. BicyclePower 1
Pete the Pirate Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 I have been following these guys and waiting patiently for the single ring MTB crank to come on board. Seriously good value teamzwatt.com/join/faq/
