Power metering is the latest way of monitoring and fine-tuning your cycling performance, usurping heart-rate monitors as the gadget of choice for those seeking to improve fitness. Whilst the cost of heart-rate monitors has dropped considerably in the last few years, power meters are still prohibitively expensive for most cyclists. Some systems cost in excess of £2,000.
Cycle Power Meters offer a great solution: you can rent out a range of the latest power meters at the fraction of the price of buying one. They offer a full range of units from PowerTap, SRM and Ergomo, with prices starting at £8 for a week's rental. The other advantage of the company's rental system is that you can try out various power meters before buying.
