I bought my vectors in September then returned them in December. They were the newest version. Hubs are great, but you’re locked into one wheelset. I have a power tap g3 in a set of Reynolds attacks and it just doesn’t get as much use now that I have the Favero pedals. I really think if you can handle Look cleats that pedals are the best option.

although no double sided metrics, the cheapest way to get power on the road is probably picking up an old powertap rear wheel. i used one years ago and it was solid. gave it away when the kids were born and i was out of tris/cycling. for $200-300 on ebay/classifieds, you'll get reliable power and a wheel to thrash/train on.

but yeah, if your budget's a little higher, the "just works" assiomas seem to be the ticket. easily to install/swap to other bikes, no batteries/battery covers to shake loose/break, consistent/reliable data, you can tweak the power reading to square up with your smart trainer via the app, etc. a bit of pain to switch my spd-sl cleats to the assioma/look cleats, but it's a one time 10-15min +/- an adjustment or 2.

i just bought a set from a STer here. can't wait to pair them up with the "just works" wahoo bolt when they arrive next week :-)

How old are they?

I’m also considering a PowerTap hub. I really don’t want a crank based pm at this point (mostly aesthetic reasons, not performance related)

I would caution that once you have a hub, you only get power from that wheel. Which means that when you get cool race droolworthy wheels, no power.

Hub is laced into one wheel....what the aesthetic disapproval of P2M....I actually think they make cranks look better as they fill in the typical holes in most cranksets

Really? It only works on one wheel? I never thought of that...

What makes you think this would be my only wheel ever?

It’s not that hard to get a PowerTap hub with an aero rim.

$$$$ to do that.

So easy to avoid it altogether with assiomas.

This is coming from the guy who loved and still has a power tap hub laced into a Dt Swiss wheel. Got so fed up with not being able to use any other wheelset that I got the assiomas, has been a great upgrade despite how well the pt hub worked.

Ditto... I almost did not buy the Assiomas because of the looks. I am so glad I did not make that mistake. They are freakin' awesome.

There is only one Quarq.

Forgive me for being slow here, but I don't get what you are implying?

That's strange :)
