Hi Hubbers, I'm trying my luck, I'm looking for a square taper power meter crank set if someone maybe got one that is hiding away in that cupboard full of random stuff. I know SRM was one of the brands and some more. 

I got a Cycleops Pt 300 pro unit that I got free from the forum years ago that was faulty. The power reading unit on the hub went dead, it's common problems on this setup. That time Cycleops wanted me to ship this this 29kg wheel to them so that they can check it out, and I gave it a skip because shipping that weight that time will cost allot. 

So I drop a cadence and speed sensor on it and run it like this for some years. Fast-forward a few years later, married live, busy house, back on the bike and a 6 year old boy that is cycling to, I took the unit out of storage so that I can use it while he is using the TACX Vortex smart unit "keeps him busy ;) " and with Cape Town winter on us, indoor training will work better. 

I like the feeling of the Cycleops unit more because it's a solid unit. There is two ways "maybe 3" to go, is to check if I can find a Square taper power meter crank, spotted someone doing it on youtube and it works. 

Other option is going pedal power meter base or I need to pull the Bottom Bracket on it and see if it will take a BSA bottom bracket and drop new type crank on it, but this we will keep for last resort of doing things. 

So if someone maybe got a Square taper power meter crank that is still working, let me know please. 

Thanks
