I think it was it Keith that said your average cycling buying a power meter is like someone making minimum wage hiring a CPA to tell them how broke they are

With the price dropping sub $400.00 now it like hiring a bookkeeper

It's much less expensive now to find out I'm broke

I agree. I think I'll work on the funds for one this winter. Not sure what to add to it so see I can see all those impressive #'s. I suppose Garmin. let's see if I can get my avg power into triple didgets next year.

That gets into the price range where my curiosity and financial pain axis intersect and I start digging change our of my couch and under the car seat.

I'd be a little concerned about the user installation aspect of this PM. Seems to introduce a potential for accuracy issues.

The option to go from single leg measurement and upgrade to both leg in the future is nice. Get people in w/ affordability and then they can get better performance after that better understand how to use power.

I'd like to see Stages develop a program where consumers can send in their existing cranks and have a PM installed. Drive cost down from their current (affordable) product and remove the user installation error aspect.
Just say "NO!" to WCP!!!!
