Buying a new road bike this year, 14 years after my Giant TCR Advanced purchase. It’s been a great bike. Will include a power meter for this one. Likely a Tarmac SL8 Sworks frame with Ultrega goup set. Question, does a single sided power meter work just fine, or is it worth the extra cost for dual s…

[image] Does anyone regret getting a single sided power meter vs dual sided? Equipment New year means new pool of money in the bike budget. Last year I spent it on a Kickr Core, this year I’m debating on power meters to train outside with. Does anyone regret getting a sin…

Finally, a 1% difference in L/R balance equates to a 2% difference in reported power. TL,DR: Friends don’t let friends b…

Since you live in Tuscany I’d highly suggest getting a pair of Favero Assioma duos. Reliable as you please, great customer service and I’m a fan of rechargeable so I’m not disposing of batteries semi-constantly. As for single vs dual I’m sorta with The_Cog on this one. It’s hard to say whether years…

I got the uno knowing I had the option of upgrading to the duo, but have never felt the need. Actually I just bought a second uno so that I don’t have to be switching them back and forth between my road and gravel bike every other day, as that seemed a more useful use of dollars than upgrading to a …

I could be wrong but other than interesting stats I don’t think a dual sided pm gives you much more perhaps a more stable power reading on a twisty course. Both my pm’s are single sided, and they give me what I want but being a stat junkie if I was made of money I’d get a dual pm. Im sure my non PM…
