WTD : Powertap turbo wheel

Taxuser1

will consider any used or old shimano version, once it spins true enough and is working to any Garmin - this won't be used on the road, it's for the turbo only

maybe someone is looking to upgrade to pedals or a crankset and has an old powertap wheel at home unused.

i don't want to break the bank either !

I have a 10/11 speed power tap,
Has a DT Swiss R450 rim 32 hole,
Cycle ops SL+ powertap,
Shimano hub,
This wheel was completely re built by lads in cycle superstore about 8 weeks ago, with the new rim and spokes,
Its ANT+

You can check out the actual power tap hub in the link, please note like I said it has the old mavic rim

I have a old ant+ SL+ on a worn open pro. Can't really be used on the road, fine for the turbo. There is something wrong with the circuitry. Batteries last about 12 hours and if left in they swell and discharge, I used to just take them out between use, the power measurements track the same as my power2max though.

Yours for €50 quid if you want it, given the issues with it, will include a cassette and old road tyre too.

so it works perfectly other than the battery issue and your readings are the same as your very much more expensive powermeter ?

sounds like a bargain, no issue with shimano 10 speed cassette?

BenDelaney

It did this time last year. I'll test it again though if you're interested. There's a 10 speed Shimano cassette on it, won't take 11 speed without a new freehub.

If the OP does not want this I will offer asking price for it.

A lot dearer than 50, but then again it has no faults and is working perfectly,

I was looking for 450 before it was rebuilt with new spokes and rim so looking for around 500 inc 11spd cassette and tyre

"test" and "powermeter" used in the same sentence will soon result in an immediate sense of dread in Taxuser1

This wheel might just have been the biggest bargain ever for a bike part.

Thanks Ben, working solidly for me still.
