fandacious Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 I see on quarq's website they're starting shipping soon... anyone planning on getting one? MSRP = $1195 x 7.8 = ZA RONTS 9321 ouch
bruce Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 They won't ship to anywhere outside the U.S. Being good Americans they are scared that you'll plug a 110v thingie into a 220v hole and fry your fingers, then sue them for $1450 gazzillion

He he, very true! The email I got spoke about not being certified for the power in non-U.S. countries. They were probably referring to the necessary RF certifications required by ICASA etc.
fandacious Posted July 9, 2008 Author Posted July 9, 2008 i'll have to wait till after ive paid for the honeymoon before i can afford one.... would be interested to see how well it works compared to a PT. looks like a pretty simple install and setup
word Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 The quarq is the business. Have you seen their head unit? It is seriously tit.
bruce Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 i'll have to wait till after ive paid for the honeymoon before i can afford one.... would be interested to see how well it works compared to a PT. looks like a pretty simple install and setup Well, if I could just get my hands on one, I'd happily do a comparison!!
fandacious Posted July 9, 2008 Author Posted July 9, 2008 yeah - their head unit is the shiz. open source linux and big screen. but at another 8k for the unit they can keep it. i paid 5k for my garmin 705 which does everything their head unit does and more...
Wonder Woman Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Doesn't the SRM use the crankset also for reading power in a similar sense to this one???
