Quarq ? (1)

I notice that on the Quarq website you can buy the new AXS powermeter as well as a DZero for Specialized or the new Dub spindle standard cranks directly from Quarq, but if you want just the spider for the PowerReady cranks they direct you to buy from a retailer.

Anyone know if that means they’re not selling those anymore and when dealer stock runs out, they’re gone, or is it that they just aren’t selling the DZero spiders directly?

The last time I took a peak at Quarq’s website, I surmised, based on the offerings, that they’ve transitioned to DUB and abandoned support for the SRAM BB30 and GXP cranksets. You can still get a legacy SRAM compatible spyder power meter from Power2Max, but it won’t support SRAM’s hidden-bolt chainrings so you gotta pony up for new rings, too.

DUB is clearly SRAM’s future, replacing both GXP and BB30. Once the entire product line is changed over, their crank SKU count will be cut roughly in half.

I imagine there are lots of retailers who have a stock of the spiders. I’m not interested in buying one, rather I’m wondering if the resale value may go up in the future.
