Inexpensive Power meter

Hi,

Would like to know if there are any cheap power meters out in the marketplace and if they are worth the money.

Thanks

"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.

Power pedals: the next big thing in cycling telemetry?

FS: Powertap SL 2.4 wireless system for road bike

THE PRODUCT: Powertap SL 2.4 32 spoke hub (Campagnolo fitment) built into Mavic CD Open Pro Rim with silver spokes. Comes with computer head unit and all related booklets, cd;s, battery cover removal tool, leads etc in its protective case. I would describe the hub condition as excellent and the rim itself has lots of life left in and is true. With a firmware upgrade this would also work with the Ant + Garmins etc.
