You can't adjust an SRM's (or any power meter's) zero while pedalling, and in particular on a fixed gear bike when you can't coast. Which is why you should plug for an SRM Track Science model, as they are rock solid for fixed gear work.

My understanding is that they had to use a road crank since a track crank wouldn't have cleared the frame. Had shimano machine custom cogs to deal with the non standard chainline too.

To be fair against Sosenka, Jens should have ridden on his famous yellow bike.

It surprised me at the time. Sponsors perogative I guess, Boardman and Keen did plenty of tests beforehand. Just checked a magazine from the time and there's a picture of Boardman warming up with teammate Paul Jennings who is also on a Corima but his does have a rear disc. By the World Track Champs at Hamar Boardman and pretty much everyone except Obree was on double discs, Barcelona in 1992 was an open air track hence the trispoke front.

Blast from the past.

Thanks Francois, not sure i ever saw that one. It must have been mandatory to wear a shirt and cycling shorts, but man those were some slow transitions, even for that time period. Loved Bevan running barefoot, i did the same thing years earlier in Germany in a duathlon, only i ran it on the asphalt!!!. Announcer went crazy, all i could hear is ferruct american ish laughen barfoos!!!! ( roughly translates crazy american is running barefoot!! Ended up winning by 4 seconds too, so was worth every blister and scab...

Brilliant. I've never seen that before. As a fellow Queenslander it was brilliant seeing Brad Beven run barefoot. There's a fairly good chance Brad never wore shoes at school so not that big a deal for him.
