Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

That wouldn't work out so good with a crank PM.
You can swap it around easily enough.

I just have to stop being lazy and finally swap out my campy crankset and bb on my old trek to a shimano octalink setup so I can start swapping my SRM back and forth.

The biggest issue is that the Octalink cranks aren't as easy to remove and install as the newer outboard bb cranks.

Still, it would only take 10-15 mins tops. I'd just need to get the cables for the other bike. I'd love to ride it through the winter since it's so comfortable, but that's how botto's pinnarello died, and I don't want to subject my bike to the salt and grit that surrounds here. So it just doesn't get ridden. Wait, what!

Or I can just not bother with all this, and just ride the bike on recovery days when I'm supposed to noodle around anyway.

It's sad though. I haven't ridden a bike I really like in a while because I'd get absolutely no data from riding it. I can always just re-input an older ride for it so I can keep all the constants while not messing anything else up
