IQ2 Power Meter

I sympathize with those who thought the would get a solution for different pedals like Speedplays and the ability to move them bike to bike and between MTB and road. Holy Grail stuff there.

At the same time however, it is interesting to see the unrealistic expectations and the resulting outrage and entitlement culture from some people who took a gamble on a crowdsourced project. They thought their €149 got them every single technical detail, the armchair engineering or a seat on the board and those who can’t even read the details of the updates when their questions are answered there.

While I also believed they were a lot closer than they were, the delays all seem plausible including this last one. Mistakes were made for sure on their part but nothing that hasn’t happened to countless more experienced companies. In the end it’s a gamble and I for one will be OK with getting a usable power meter. Those who thought they were getting a SRM or Vector level PM at a fraction of the cost are bound to be disappointed.
