Kurt Kinetic Power Computer ??

Any experience with the K.K. power meter (wired, $80)? I'm looking for something motivational to put on my Kurt trainer that won't break the bank...........doesn't need scientific accuracy-- just "decent" accuracy to keep myself occupied with in the garage these cold mornings until spring.

I bought the earlier one a few years ago, and while it worked, the interface was so complex and clunky that I went without power. I'm very interested in the new one.

I'd bet the Training and Road forums might have some decent feedback.

before starting a new thread thought I'd chime in here.

I have the T725W, the wired power computer, which I highly recommend for the most frugal way to "train with power". You can definitely quantify your gains with this device doing interval work, like 200w to 400w for instance.

Anyway it worked great for the first year and a half or so, and now I can't get a signal to register. The head unit seems to have plenty of battery life. I've tried adjusting the magnet, moving the sensor even closer, etc but still won't pick up. I can't find anything on the KK website, any suggestions out there?
