.....There is simply no value proposition to support the Ibike. (other than as a head unit for a real power meter if you're willing to spend that money.)
Sure there is a value proposition. By most accounts, it sounds like the accuracy issues have been addressed with the 3rd generation unit. So even if you paid the $700 for a full-blown iBike, what you end up with is a reasonably accurate tool (actually, looking at the comparison done by VeloNews, very close to real power meters out there) that you can easily transfer between bikes, and use with any wheelset your heart desires. Yes, the weight of the wheel doesn't matter for 99% of riders, but why should you deprive yourself from power measurements if you feel like riding your Zipp wheels on the weekend (or during a race)?
