Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Used PowerTap

Thinking of getting a Powertap Pro off Ebay. What are some things to watch for? How can you date how old they are? When did they improve the seals so that they work better in the rain?

Only the SL has the improved seals for wet weather, IIRC, unless you get the new Pro, which looks just like the SL...
