I just bought a powerpod – Can go on any bike and easy to swap between bikes.
Some people don’t like them, but it seems good to me so far…
I came with an ace of buying one when the Kickstarter funding was started but wanted to see how it progressed 1st. Always a bit wary of buying somehting that hasn’t been tested by “real” people.
I like the look of it though I have to say.
Only issue the person in our club had with a powerpod was in groups or during races. Apparently the way they work is using wind measurements so if you are sat directly behind or in a group you may get varied results. There is a DCrainmaker review on this (really good for powermeter reviews)
Hi, because of the chainset
Hi, because of the chainset you are using you are going to be severely limited in choice. You would probably have to go for a pedal-based option.
If you wanted to go for a crank based option such as a Stages powermeter you would have to upgrade your chainset as well, potentially to something similar to a 105 level.
Maybe try Zuus wheels, will
Maybe try Zuus wheels, will probably be a similar price to most when including customs and shipping

I presume you changed your chain as well and didn’t just go from your big ring into the largest cog on your cassette? If so, your chain will have been too short…

Maybe contact Raceware, they’re a very competent brand who can make you a one-off if need be, they also do a mount that may work already; http://www.bikerumor.com/2014/07/10/raceware-direct-adds-garmin-mounts-for-giant-propels-contact-slr-aero-handlebars/

I think I’m right in saying you should always have at least one drive-side spacer on any 68mm shell bb
HI Everyone. I took part last
HI Everyone. I took part last year after starting to road bike in September 2014. You should be alright with some good hill training and some low gears (I used 34×30). Just try and get in a group if possible and try not to spend too much time on the front.
Also, Hardknotts is very near the end so make sure you pace yourself. In the rain people were sliding and taking out others so take your time and try to find your own line and keep youre whits about you (no puns intended). Once you get over Wrynose it is a nice ride to the finish so just focus on that.
