I'm hoping to get hold of the stages powermeter someday, affordable and easily to swap between bikes, Garmin are living on another planet with that price.

Garmin are the sports equivalent of apple, people will happily pay high prices for small changes and because of the name, look at the 800 and 810, surely the Bluetooth device within the 810 isn't worth 100 pounds!

With that vector thingy, it limits everyone to certain pedals and shoes, buy buy shimano! buy buy money!

Tim if your thinking of paying for one of these you might have to quit that syndicate! :wink:

I've got about £5-10k worth of other bike stuff that would be more useful to me before getting a power meter!

I reckon the Garmin vector is great bit of kit with ease of switching between bikes so great for professionals, elite riders, coaching and fitness testing so plenty will sell.

This looks good too as based in shoes so really flexible

but again looks like price will be well over £1k
