SRM + Garmin = deal?
This struck me as a very good deal.
https://www.competitivecyclist.com/ro..._67_FALSE.html
At that price, it's not much more than a wireless ANT+ compatible powertap plus Garmin, built up with a nice wheel.
I can't imagine your missing that much from the 2009 Dura Ace SRM, and it's $500 cheaper, and you get the Garmin to boot.
Now what can I get for a wired PT SL built up with a Zipp 404?

Pretty sweet deal [relative to SRMs].
Makes you wonder how much SRM believes their PowerControl is worth. [like 850 on CC - yes?]
The Garmin is 710 on CC.
140 dollar difference between computers.
425 dollar difference between combinations.
Somebody's accountant is going to get in trouble.

DA7900 cranks are not compatible with the SRM spider, so you won't see any. The pricing is what it is, and will likely go up as the supply of 7800 cranks dwindles.

Why not get a CinQo and 705? The extra $1k left over could be used for all sorts of goodies.

Because CinQo is first-generation, and I'd rather sink my money in tenured technology.
/hence why I didn't buy the first-generation iPhone

I think they are trying to clear them out for this.
https://www.saris.com/athletes/Commen...931e27920.aspx
https://www.velonews.com/article/77542
With the price of a 705, and a Powertap. I think you could get in for under $2,000.

And, FWIW, the two guys I know with 705s have had some weird glitches, but love them.

To add another data point, I've not had any glitches with my 705.

I can use the wireless SRM with a regular wired PC V if need be. Redundancy ftw.

Oh yeah, and the original post mentioned nothing about using a PC V (because the combo doesn't come with it). So now add $750 to the $3600 price -vs- the CinQo/705 combo at around $2100.

Yeah but think about the wasted grams. Granted, it's probably not much more than you'd drop by drinking a cup of coffee and taking a dump in the morning, but OCP correctness requires that every component be strictly weighed and minimized accordingly.

If you compare just the sensor and cranks, without a computer, the CinQo still about 1/2 the cost. So it's not necessarily the cranks that are contributing to the price difference.
We plan to introduce CinQos compatible with the Specialized S-Works, Cannondale Hollowgram SI, Rotor Agilis and Lightning (when they get to market) cranks this Fall.

In general, I'd agree. However if you're using the 705 Head Unit to replace the SRM head unit, adding next to no weight, picking up some functions, and costs less than just the SRM unit, it seems like you're ahead with the garmin head unit.

FYI, The FSA cranks that SRM uses are the same ones Quarq uses, just labeled differently. https://www.srm.de/store_usa/product...ional-FSA.html
If you compare just the sensor and cranks, without a computer, the CinQo still about 1/2 the cost. So it's not necessarily the cranks that are contributing to the price difference.

We'll be getting additional versions out as soon as we can, but most likely the next ones will be this fall.
