Track Power!
At last
The wheelbuilder.com Powertap track wheel has arrived. It's the only one in Australia at this time and one of the very first of this version in the world. Wheelbuilder did a fixie adaptor for the first generation of Powertaps but they've been unavailable for quite a few years now.
Now we can swap wheels on track bikes and get power readings. From now on, a laptop comes to every track training session and we're no longer guessing. I need to work out a hire price structure for it. It's a very nice wheel, Edge 68 clincher rim (60mm deep carbon clincher), Sapim CXray spokes (32), Powertap SL+ hub with Rich Sawris's fixed gear modification and White Industries sprockets and carrier. We chose a clincher so that we can quickly and painlessly swap tyres for indoor and outdoor use, it'll have a Veloflex Record for DISC and probably a Bontrager Race-Lite for outdoor use.
