Jason Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 Does anyone know if the Ergomo Power Meter will cater for the Dura-Ace cranks in future product releases? Currently it only works with the Ergomo cranks.
Joss Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 You should speak to Marco at Cycle Tech. He is the importer. Tel 011 4669974.
stringbean Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 Don't think so.I think dura ace will go the srm way when srm patency falls away.With ergomo you can use any square taper is isis crank (ergomo,FSA,old campag and best of all Zipp
Jason Posted March 28, 2007 Author Posted March 28, 2007 Ok stringbean, if I understand correctly... If I get a set of ZIPP cranks I can use the Ergomo BB power thingy without the cranks that come with it?
stringbean Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 Yes,just make sure they send you the isis bb.Phone Marco or speak to Bruce.They are the experts.

Jason Posted March 28, 2007 Author Posted March 28, 2007 Thanks 101% Thought the ZIPPS one's would look better ... Dunno if the orange will quite fit in with the red... Still thinking about it . I need to start the training with power thingy but have to speak to my financial advisor first... Jason2007-03-28 06:02:18

101% Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 I think the Ergomo cranks are made by FSA .Yes the Zipp cranks are nice but are very pricey . If you plan on buying an Ergomo unit plus Zipp cranks ..you may aswell buy a set of SRM's. Sell your Trek 1500 , buy the Ergomo and a second hand Alu. Soloist for training . this way you'll save your Carbon race bike .Â

bruce Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 The cranks that come with the Ergomo are currently free while stocks last, Marco still has some stock. It will not be possible to support any external bearing crank system because the Ergomo is the actual BB - so no Dura-Ace or Mega Exo etc. The Ergomo cranks are definitely rebranded FSA's - they are identical. Zipp cranks will probably cost around R4k - very expensive bling if you ask me. There Jason, I came to speak to you - now hurry, while stocks last Â
Jason Posted March 28, 2007 Author Posted March 28, 2007 Thanks bruce, but will it be best to install a power meter on a training bike or the bike you race on? I train on my Soloist (Without the 404's ofcourse) so I was thinking that if I get one I should put it on the Soloist. Just interesting to read the stats after a tough race or training session... Only thing is I won't be able to use it on the indoor trainer, unless Marco is feeling generous and does the buy one get one free thingy
