Verve power meter....

Yet another power meter. Their hook is that it doesn't need to be calibrated/recalibrated. Pricey :/

Looks like what stages did times two. Power in both crank arms.

A false humanity is used to impose its opposite, by people whose cruelty is equalled only by their arrogance

looks pretty darn near perfect (an aero version would be a nice touch of course)

Shame the pre-order link doesn't work..?

Only with cranks made for the purpose. Unless I missed it they don't mention weight or crank lengths.

This site lists pricing, weight and crank lengths available. It looks like they are also including a head unit with purchase of the crank.

Such conceited notions, almost borders on naivete.

I wonder if you will be able to update slopes if you swap out chainrings and or crank arms. I wonder why they opted to package in a head unit when they could have dropped the price selling without. I figure most people would prefer their garmin.

Looks like they reviewed it here:

Too bad there is no BBright option. And no 53-39 rings?

Rotor was the first to sell a dual-sided power meter.

As with the Rotor, the strain gages in the Verve are in the crank arms - you therefore can't change crank arm length, and changing chainrings should have no effect on the slope.

More generally, if a power meter is designed well (e.g., SRM) the strain gages are placed where their calibration is largely, if not entirely, insensitive to changes in stiffness either "upstream" or "downstream".

The PF30 cups should fit, yes. But not all crank spindles can be supported by bearings inboard of the standard (outboard) spots.

A bittersweet symphony, this crank.

Do you view the Verve as being well designed given the no calibration option? Will it deliver accurate data over time?
