Absolutely agree. Got a PowerTap G3 wheel in mid-June and 1500 miles later I've learned a bunch about how hard I really work. Not a cheap investment but for a numbers geek a powermeter is great!

1000 miles isn't much for a chain OR cassette. Before you invest in new parts add a chain gauge to your toolbox. You might just need to have the drive train adjusted. Do you have a LBS you trust?

Worth noting that the replacement straps are shorter than the new ones (at least for the straps that came with my 305 & 705). As mentioned adding more is easy.

Breaking Speedplay Cleats

I've been riding Speedplay X-Series pedals for awhile but I've started breaking cleats. In particular, the plastic part just under the metal plate. So far it's been right cleat only. Any ideas?
