Det har kommet mange alternativer til Stages nå bare det siste året, som er vel så billige, f.eks klinger fra Powertap. Kranker med watt har også ramlet mye i pris, p2m osv.
DCR kom vel nettopp med en ny liste over anbefalte wattmålere:
http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2016/09/power-meters-buyers-guide2016-edition.htmlOm Stages sier han: "Would I buy it: This is a much more complex question. Technically speaking it’s a well-made unit that accurately measures the left side. From a pricing standpoint it’s tough to recommend the left-only approach with other options in the same price ballpark that fully capture all power. Further, as I’ve collected a tremendous amount of power meter data over the past year with 3-5 power meters concurrently, I’ve started to understand my specific personal left/right balance biases. For most of my riding, there’d be no major issue with Stages. However for longer or higher intensity rides where I might fatigue more, I see some inaccuracies on Stages due to my personal leg differences. You might be the same, or you might be perfectly even. I don’t know."
Jeg hadde samme utfordring som han med Stages, bruker derfor krank som måler all watt nå.
