    Garmin bought'em up.

  • Just my .002 worth here.

    If this were built around the Speedplay product I'd be onboard right now, no question. Too bad. At the foot/pedal is most definetely a more precise measurment, yes. But I'm thinking many Speedplay lovers still won't leave their chosen pedals for the Garmin Vector. I'm one of them.

    What say you folks?

  • like it !

  • Advise when you will be running speedplay, or let me choose another power meter system. Perhaps the one that now just connects to by bike shoes?

    Big mistake on Garmin's part to ignore the original group who wanted to buy these ...the speedplay users.

  • I followed Metrigear almost from day 1, right through their acquisition by Garmin. I was regularly in touch with their team, and studied all the stats, including volunteering to be a beta tester.  I have held back for close to 2 years on the purchase of a power meter so I could put these on my bike. The Metrigear product was completely designed for its initial go to market strategy on speedplay pedals. Now I am stuck with this choice? Sorry guys...not buying it.

  • that is just a bit over my budget...i dont even have a garmin edge...also how durable is it (after crashes, waterproofness?) looks awesome though, but still..

  • .... in most cases, but they're simply best for on-road use as designed by Garmin.

  • @yumo26 The main reason you wouldn't want to use these on a mtn bike is that you'd have to wear road shoes. And since they generally lack any real tread on the sole, they'd be a detriment if you ever had to walk around. The plastic Keo-style cleats would get damaged easily on rocky trail surfaces as well. Then there's the point about the transmitter... you could rotate the pod so that it sits upright on both crankarms when your strong foot is forward, and that would keep it off the rocks.
