Another tease
After tracking metrigear and their promised speed play power meter, bought up by Garmin last year and that added hopes that it would be real, then Brim Brothers and thier cleat based power meter. Will any of this ever happen or will be stuck with klunky power taps and over priced quarqs. Maybe it will happen when I can buy that diesel Subaru Forester in the US...

I heard there will be a pedal based powermeter out this Fall. It probably won't work with my Keos though. I know that Shimano is working on one too.

The PT wheel really isn't such a bad deal. It adds a little weight but, its a stable and relatively accurate system, and it can be put on different bikes with ease. SRM is the same for all practical purposes, though its not easy to transfer from one bike to another, and far more cost. Likewise with Quark. If someone is in the market for a Power Meter, I would say the PT wheel is a good economical option until a newer proven system is available. You might see a diesel Forester first.

I jumped onto training with power this January when I got a Power Tap. I wish that I took that direction 2 years ago.

I think that, if I have a computer in my shoe, I want a phone there as well.
