pOWER CRANKS

[Stifmeister]

OK' date=' I am in the cycle industry as well. But been old school advice on training should be free - thus my suggestion to get hold of Rupert Reeda. I am sure he will help you and it will not cost.

Form the buisness side of things I've just given Excel anouther 3 sets of Stealth carbon Spinergy wheels and your Bro rides for the team! Why are you using Bora's? Beleive it or not this is how we sponsors gage the success of sponsorship. I know Rupert is good for the product and I have gambled with the whole team! You can choose to been part of that gamble working!

This is a hard line to follow - maybe we will meet at SA's if you going - I will explain in full.

As for the coaching (for BikeMax) riders who have been through my system at Junior / U23 ages (where hopfully you learn the good habits) include George, Spence, Perry, Maartens, Ball, Cole, Butland, Lill recently the new riders to CSC Wilkins (left in Feb this year) to name but a few. The reason for recomending Rupert is I know him well and the the work he is doing amoungst the guys in Pretoria where Stifmeister comes from is as close to what I did with the guys mentioned above, and I am sure he is therefore in good hands.

Why not consider a Power Tap SL - half the price and in my opinion an easier product to live with in terms of day to day use. For the price of an SRM you can build a PT Pro into a training wheel and then an SL into a carbon race rim.

Alternatively just build one light wheel and use it for both and save yourself a few grand.

why use the bioracer system when their a free system on the web at www.wrenchscience.com ?

I tried the wrenchscience site and it is supposed to then tailor the search results based on the measurements you enter, only it says that they have nothing matching my measurements ...

I am your standard 6ft1, medium build guy, if it can't find me a bike what hope do the rest of you stand?

People should not be in to much of a hurry to slap a set of SRM cranks on their bikes. I have been using SRM for about 4 years, (since Commonwealth games in 2002). Sure they do tell you how much power and a few other things, but you need to be a bit of an enthusiast to get the full benefit from them.

You need to have a reasonable amount of your own data available to see where you are going. I just found that at times I was concentrating more on the SRM than on my training.

Bikemax is 100% correct. A set of SRM without the right coach means nothing. You need to know how to train with power, and believe me its a 180 degree turn from what is concidered normal. So if you are going to buy a set, then make sure you get the right advisor to.

As for the comparison between SRM and Powertap, there just isnt any. The SRM as a far better product, but twice the price. Rather pay the money and buy the right unit.
