Easy to setup, and doesn't require a new hub. Lots of data available to analyze.
Cons:
Wires on both chain stays, and a handlebar mount that can be difficult to place on smaller Aerobars. Irregular shaped chain stays may cause mounting problems for the Power Sensor.
I bought this Power Meter after considering the Power Tap hub two years ago, I have three rear wheels, and the idea of having to buy a new hub for all, or use only one wheel to get data didn't sit well with me. I love this meter, and use it for all of my training, slap a magnet on a wheel, calibrate the watch for wheel size, and you are ready to go.
The Pedaling Efficiency is suspect, since I can't get my numbers to come up much( or it could be me). But the rest of the data from the Power Meter has really helped my training. I typically display Power and Cadence, and by keeping an eye on both, I can usually crank out some good numbers (and rides).
I did have a problem with it, where the connection would become intermittent, and after replacing the battery in the Mount, the dropouts have stopped. (Replace every two years)...
I don't use the Power Meter during races, as it takes too much time to take the watch off, and mount it on the handlebar mount, then take it off in again. I just leave the Power Meter on the chain stays, and go.
Good Power Meter for the Money
