    Yeah - because the concept of power is really difficult to get your head around.... :roll:

    Very few people seem to have a clue. Most of them are on this forum.

    There are really too many variables, including fitness, body type, leg length, etc

    I know Okgo from else where! I am happy to say I run vectors, they are fiddly to set up but a decent torque wrench makes it easy.

    Only issue I have had with them is pod plugs/cable getting chopped on fast descents. In theory there is the 5mm clearance between cable and chain but on a jumping chain downhill they seem to die. Garmin going to sent some new ones so only slightly annoying. I have ridden side by side with similar weight people going similar speeds and the power is within a similar % difference. More importantly I do find they give consistent results.

    I have looked at crank based systems, and still may move to one.
