Garmin Vector

So I am interested in this. I have known a couple of guys who've had leg injuries & muscle imbalances from leg to leg. Its an easy way to quickly look at left to right power.

I use SRM.....and one big disadvantage is always going the setup of SRMs..... It takes a good day or two to get one setup & ready to roll.

So when I saw the Vector I was intrigued. If you can install pedals you can get your powermeter on! Easy...... Will this be released soon? Anybody know what the pricing would be? Similar to the SRM, more less? If less than that would arguably be the best cycling product on the market.

Release has been delayed until mid-year. RRP is expected to be around $1500.

Accuracy and durability is of course unknown at this stage.

Nice concept, but, geez, you can get a Powertap in an Open Pro for $660 from Competitive Cyclist.

Yeah if you race/train on the same wheel the powertap is super cost effective.

But My SRM was cheaper than 2 power tap wheels. Plus no wattage lost to drivetrain/has lighter weight SI cranks. I got a deal on my new SRM from a sponsor, but I suppose for a regular customer thats not true.

I and a couple people I know have had leg injuries though. I'm sure the Vector will be fascinating to see (leg to leg while riding).
