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 with a bigger financial investment? Thank for any suggestions

That’s what I do indoors! Looks kooky as hell. But am running road bike + flat pedals on the trainer! P.s. I cannot find a statistically important difference between workouts/tests with clipless versus flats for myself! Believe some of the research has confirmed it too, that clipless isn’t actually…

Ok I’m now in the market, any options to fit existing chainset (Sram Eagle X01 (Dub, Boost)) that don’t break the bank? Power2Max NG-Eco looks like the go-to but the price is still quite high and in the UK I’m faced with having to buy direct from EU and getting hit with import fees and taxes. I ha…

[image] gvmcd: It seems that their PMs use non-standard 8-bolt mount rather than the standard 3-bolt which I have, so I’d need to add XX1 8-bolt crankset as well at around £300 just for the arms. I thought all higher-end SRAM cranks are Quarq compatible. I reckon you need to get new chain rin…

[image] OreoCookie: I thought all higher-end SRAM cranks are Quarq compatible. I reckon you need to get new chain rings, yes, but I do not expect that you will need new crank arms. no, it is all or nothing. Unless you have a “power-ready” crank. Never seen them, probably an oem thing. You ca…

[image] smlring: Unless you have a “power-ready” crank. Never seen them, probably an oem thing. So the X1 is not power-ready? That’d be a douche move. I thought all higher-level cranks were power ready. :face_with_monocle: :slightly_frowning_face:

[image] gvmcd: Yeah, I suspect even the standard XX1 isn’t ‘power-ready’ though I could be mistaken on that, maybe someone with that crank can confirm. Correct, the normal XX1 is not compatible with the Quarq. I had XX1 already but I had to purchase a new XX1 crankset.

My apologies, I thought it was X01 but it’s actually X1 (?). Still thought it was pretty high end though. I’ve swapped chainrings before on this set and it’s definitely 3-bolt:
