But given the suggested limitations with measuring one side only and doubling the data due to fluctuations with L/R balance across efforts and fatigue levels, one really beneficial use of a power meter is not possible; that of field testing aerodynamics. I have spent a day in the wind tunnel years ago and found the wattage savings amazing. I can't afford to go into the tunnel everytime the UCI forces us to change equipment or when I try something new with my position or equipment!
I understand that theoretically this is an inferior system- but I'm just not seeing any problem from it in real world applications
