Power2Max power meter for my 2013 Fuji Roubaix 1.0 LE. $499 with cranks and $35 for a FSA Gossamer bottom bracket. Turns out the two LBS I took the kit to didn't know how to put it in. Both mechanics (youngish) wanted to use a mallet to 'tap' the crank/sprocket into the existing bearings. If you laid the bike down on its left side and drop the new crank axle into the opening it goes in 1/4" and there's a metallic clunk. "You have to force these this in you know." The bike has no cylindrical container for the bearings, there is a metal retainer ring inside of the bearings and that's it. They kept insisting there was an entire bottom bracket in there (despite the inside being shiny aluminum and small holes in each of the three places where the downcoming tubes were welded. I bought the bearing puller tonight on Amazon. I'll do it myself.
