"Affordable" Laser Spoke power metre "kick start" project
Has anyone seen this new project? http://www.indiegogo.com/laser-spoke?c=home
The main benefit is that this is totally portable between bikes and wheels - if it works.
I was followed by them on Twitter today and took a look at the video. Seems an interesting idea but they are looking for £85k.
Also they say "affordable" but at a target price of £500 for the UK that still seems too much for a run of the mill cyclist like myself that would like to have power meter data but doesn't really need it that much. I can live with post ride data like Strava / Android for that sort of cost.
Interesting idea, to expensive for me, but if they can attract the right kind of team onto that project i'd be interested in the future with a smaller device and more compatibility

Judging from the other offerings in this space and the recent news about a product launch being delayed, this looks like it's probably more difficult than it sounds.
The 'comments' tab is quite funny!
If the bicycle was invented tomorrow, it would be seen as the solution, not the problem
Agree, cost is way too much to be considered affordable. Think the device will be smaller than the one in the picture, just the development version I believe.
