Hi there! Looking through the posts I could not fine one dealing with my question so here it comes: I am finally looking to invest in a power meter but immediately the question comes up which one. So here is the context: I own a roadbike that I use for my tri races as well and a MTB for the wint…

[image] Power Meters for MTB Equipment I’m geeky enough I’d like power measurement on my mtn bike too. Currently ride 2017 Juliana Furtado (5010 Santa Cruz basically) with 11 speed 1x with an aluminum raceface crank. SRAM stuff. So would a stages work or have to go quarq w…

Today I have Powertap pedals on the road bike and a Quarq on the MTB. I just bought a gravel bike…I’m not sur…

Thanks a lot to all the replies. Will study the rainmaker review and post later on what I finally go for…Happy training, J
