Its surprisingly cheap though, half the price of a pedal power meter. | |

| Oct 30, 2017 at 12:59 | comment | added | Carel | You might find a crank based power meter for the left crank which can normally be removed on any system and has a standard interface. Google: 'crank based power meter' or check the stageONE website.or this review: dcrainmaker.com/2012/09/… | |
| Oct 30, 2017 at 8:53 | comment | added | danarmak | I can't use a crank-based solution because I have a Pinion gearbox and it doesn't take custom cranks. And I have a wide 157mm rear fork which the Powertap hub doesn't fit. Chain-based meters AFAIK are not being produced any longer. That leaves the Powerpod. That's probably my best remaining option, but it's less reliable offroad. | |
