Powermeter Help - P2M Force vs Dzero Red vs InPower
Moderator: robbosmans
Dear all,
I'm in a utter quandary over purchasing my first power meter. I have a couple of bikes with different standards (BB30 with SiSL2/ BB86 with SRAM Force Crank/ Threaded with Rotor 3D+.
As a general compromise I was looking at either upgrading my Force Crank with a P2M, or buying a new Quarq DZero Crankset... or I go down the 'it fits in everything but only measures one leg' route with the InPower...
The main question I have at this point is whether a Quarq DZero Red crankset would be demonstrably better than a Force Crankset with P2M spider. Would the Red crankset be stiffer at all?
An upgrade to my 3D+ with InPower would be the easiest option, but the internets say it is an inferior option to Quarq, P2M, etc....
Any advice at all....?

no i mean Force P2Max VS Rotor24P3Max
... my calculation might be off but based on mine (Rotor24) the Force would be very close in terms of weight.
Considering you already have a Force crank, fitting a P2M is *almost* a no brainer.
The new Quarq might be better that the old Quarq, but "issues" are fairly commonly reported online.

So three bikes and they all need power.
2 are 30mm, 1 is 24mm.
And you don't want to go crankarm or pedal?
The crankset takes 20 minutes to swap out, but don't think you'll be swapping spiders all that often. The lockrings aren't made for that frequent of changes.
I'd change the BB86 to BB30 and pick your favorite crankset.

SRAM Red DZero GXP fits in virtually everything with the proper BB or adaptors.

I'm using it but since red22 got hidden bolt on the crank arm, the drop chain pin not alight with the arm.

Hi there, which chainrings? Does it mater they are not aligned, and how are they performing!

I have CT2 on my Sram Red Quarq, work perfectly, just moved to fibre lytes with eTap, which are not quite as good.
