No - wrong spoke configuration.

 

Sell the Ksyrium and use the money to buy PT.

 

 

Nah...I like my Ksyriums. Rather look at 

Ergomo then even if it's a little bit more expensive.

Wheel with SL - say a DT Swiss R1.1 will come in at around 1000gm

 

From the agent;

 

There is much that can

be said about the differences between the three models, so, for a description of

each, I invite you to visit http://www.saris.com/c-11-power-meters.aspx.

Click on the ?Compare? link, for

a comprehensive, side-by-side comparison between the three

units.

 

The SL is the most

commonly purchased unit. It is identical to the Pro, except for the hub, which

is different in construction and weighs 160 grams less than the Pro?s hub. The

Pro and the SL are functionally identical. The Pro and the Standard use similar

hardware, but ? because of the different software capability of the Standard?s

bike computer ? the Standard does not incorporate as much functionality as the

Pro and SL. While the SL is available with either a Shimano freehub or a

Campagnolo freehub, the Pro and Standard units are produced with only a Shimano

freehub. However, a Campagnolo conversion cassette can be used with the Pro and

Standard units to make them Campagnolo compatible.

 

A new model, called

the PowerTap SL 2.4 will be released shortly (Hopefully Nov/Dec). It is an

upgrade on the current SL and is wireless, with coded transmission. The exact

pricing is not yet confirmed, but I expect that it will retail for approx R9899,

and displace the current SL as the world?s most popular power

meter.

 

All are equally

accurate (at 1.5% scientific accuracy) and consistent. After purchasing a

PowerTap hub, one needs to build it into a wheel of their choice, with 24-, 28-,

or 32-hole spoke counts. We frequently arrange wheel builds on our clients?

behalf, and will happily make recommendations on the choice of rim and spokes

according to your needs. All four PowerTap models are available in a mountain

bike version; however, the hubs unfortunately do not accommodate disk brakes,

and so can only be used with V-brakes at the rear.

 

The constituent parts

of the PowerTap systems are also separately, so it is possible to purchase an

additional hub and wiring kit and in this way use the PowerTap on a training and

racing bike, without the need to transfer the parts

across.
