I finally gave in and bought a power meter :) Competitive cyclist had a sweet deal on a wired SRAM SRM, so I went for it. Pretty soon, I’ll be bragging about the massive wattages I’ll generate on a daily basis (eyeroll)

Anyway… I just finished installing it. It was pretty simple, though running the wires was a giant PITA. However, I do appreciate the relability of a wired system, so I’m not going to complain too much.

The box (they apparently recycle the box of the crank that gets butchered to add strain gauges to the spider)

I don’t need no instructions to know how to rock!

The crank

Comparison of non-drive & drive side crank arms to the Red cranks I took off

The whole thing

Thus ends the simple days of using the most basic of wired computers and a heart rate monitor :D
