June 21: Leave Houston and fly to Lyon, France via Paris Charles de Gaulle.Score: Colorado Cyclist -5, Quarq 0, and Quarq Customer Service +5. She generated a shipping label for me, and I had the replacement unit in about 5 days. The woman who answered the phone told me that a soldering had probably broken loose. I complained that this would take 3-4 weeks at a minimum and basically told that there was nothing that could be done. Furthermore, they told me that Quarq would probably not deal with me directly. (I did have the order form.) I was told that I needed to send the unit back to Colorado Cyclist and that they would send it back to Quarq. The person who I spoke with chastised me for not having a receipt although he was able to pull up the receipt on his computer right away. I first called Colorado Cyclist, which was where I bought the unit. The Quarq started getting some bad readings after about 3 months of use and needed to be replaced. I like the system, but I have had problems with both the Quarq and the Garmin. So how has it gone so far? First, the choice of equipment. This might be one of the best future options. The system is due out sometime in 2011, but they said that it was due our sometime in 2010 last year. Metrigear: This is a ANT com patible system housed inside a Speedplay pedal spindle.

The software for all of the Polar-based systems is proprietary and only Windows-based. The unit will NOT be ANT compatible and will cost around $2000 minus the head unit. Polar is also working on a pedal-based power system with Look.

Polar: The Polar CS600X measures picks up vibrations off the chain.

iBike: Measures the different forces and computes the power.

The cost with the Garmin is around $2000. the CinQo is NOT available for Campy or Shimano cranks due to the design of these cranks. Also, SRAM just purchased Quarq, so I suspect that the other versions of CinQo (FSA, Rotor, Lightening, Specialized, Cannondale) will be phased out. I haven't heard anything negative about the newer model. I heard rumors that the first model of the Quarq had some quality control or design problems.

Powertap: The power meter resides in the rear hub.

The manufacturer has to replace the battery.

SRM: The gold standard of power meters but expensive.

I looked at most of the different options. I decided that if I wanted to get faster and stronger on the bike, this was the way to go. I finally invested in a power meter last December. Oh, yeah, and $100 really beats $580.Deciding to Buy a Power Meter-What are the Options Maybe the proponents of power/cadence/heart rate training could do the same and give their reasons the same level of physiology backing it? Ric, Andy, and others have done more than enough to convince me of their view. whatever else thing has been hashed out numerous times. How hard is it to coach someone who already is one of the most talented athletes in the world? And, just because he coached a few world class pros doesn't really impress me.

The whole "grand master" argument doesn't hold much weight with me-you might say the same thing about Chris Carmichael here in the U.S. I'd be interested to know how he's adapted since then. From what I've read of Lemond's training, it doesn't sound like anything too exceptional. 80% of the benefit of a PM for me is NP and everything that comes from it, especially the PMC chart. I'm not at all familiar with PowerCoach, but, since it doesn't have NP, that makes it next to useless in my mind.
