Ergomo USA Power Meters

I am looking into getting a power meter, and noted that in the past, the Ergomo power meters had both issues with accuracy as well as customer service issues.

However, I am curious since the Company obtained a new US distribution, and since time has passed (i.e. - newer models) whether people can provide me with any recent feedback as to both the performance of the power meters as well as the customer service on these products?

troll slowtwitch and get a cheap powertap. Got my SL+ for a song from a former Trek Livestrong member

if you want to get cheap crank-based, you might as well consider power2max, a German company.

I thought Ergomo went out of business.

The only person I know who had one had to buy Quarq's because his stopped working and he couldn't get it repaired or service.

From the Ergomo USA website, it looks like somebody bought up what was left of Ergomo and is liquidating old stock. At $1289, I would either buy a power tap, a used SRM, or pony up a little more and get a Quarq.

And the new Ergomo they want $2089 for, which is absurd, given what you can get a Quarq for.

There is nothing in the Ergomo history, or the cryptic info on that website that would give me any confidence in an Ergomo.
