Welcome to the sport.

Yeah not the best year to start :)

Check out the SlowTwitch classifieds lots of gear available there.

Read DC Rainmakers site to make an informed decision on a power meter. But given that you have two bikes and are new to Tri. I would probably start with power based pedals. You may not end up there but they give you the flexibility to swap between road and TT bike. They also will transfer well if you learn after your fit that you bought the wrong sized bike.

I know what you meant but there is a product called PowerCranks. You can use the search function. They are not SlowTwitch approved.

Try searching as there’s a thread on this somewhere on here (something like “just buy these products”)

If not....
Wheels-Flo or HED
Powermeter-Power2max or Favero Assioma, and also some lower-priced options that aren’t quite as commercially known

Rotor INspider power meter.

Welcome along!

Honestly, best bang for the buck is getting fit properly on your tri bike. After that, probably a decent set of tyres, well fitting clothes, helmet. Wheels make the bike look much better though.

Only recommendation we'd have made if you came to us earlier would have been to get the fit before the bike, as different frame geometries and sizes favour different body shapes. But with a P3 you have a good chance of making it work if it is the right size.

Cheers, Rich.

Two quarq spiders Will probably be cheaper than most dual sided power meters. More reliable and will avoid the hassle of keeping swapping between bikes.

Coming from motorcycle racing you will likely find triathlon a bargain sport...
