That's always been the plan but the 12 works fine so I never had the incentive to spend 100 bucks more. Even the 2kW I put through it doesn't seem to bother it much

Dura Ace groups are 11 speed and the worlds best time trial riders seem fine pumping similar power through them so strength wouldn't be my concern.

Do you have power meters? I was looking at some pedal ones but for 1k a set I'll stick with my $100 R-550's.

I have been looking for 'Bicycle Race' video by Queen, and can't find it..
It seems that it is now inappropriate, and has been consigned with other X rated videos for perverted dirty old men.
No fun in the world anymore. :(


This one?

Yeah from legs you're fine. I have a 2kW, 160nm mid drive on mine. It has a built in dpc power meter, my legs don't even register

I've heard the cheap units of banggood work fine

Haha I thought you meant you did the 2kw. Some track riders can peak past 2kw on legs.

Yeah no chance for me, no human is making that torque either. Pretty sure elite humans only do about 400 watts with bursts close to 1kW. There's no human on this earth keeping up with this bike either way

Track riders are the velodrome guys they can peak that high. 300w is a top endurance rider.
