1 functional Ergomo on my tri bike which I'll be swapping over to my road bike for the winter. 2 non-functional Ergomos Forerunner 305 CycleOps Fluid2
I'd like to go with a wireless SRM in the spring but may end up with a Quarq Saturn unless I find some extra change under the couch cushions. I'm debating the Joule vs the Edge 500 if I go Quarq.
When I joined EN, I was using a Garmin 305 (which is my #1 favorite toy, had it now 5 years, and the thing always works) for running, an iBike outside, and a CompuTrainer inside.
After a year inside the haus, I broke down and bought a PowerTap SL, with the new Joule when Saris came out with its 40% off tweet. I used the PT for all of three rides. The Joule arrived when I was in the hospital. I can't wait to get my TT bike repaired and try the new set up for real. Hopefully mid-January.
I've been using a Polar 600cx power meter, which has worked pretty well for about 4 years. I just bought an SRM V that will replace the Polar PM. I want to have the versatility to run whatever wheels I want. I don't really care what I train on. I have a set of custom built carbon clinchers with Edge rims. BIG difference over the training wheels! My wife bought me a Computrainer in 1996 for our first Christmas-still going strong. For running I"m using a Polar rs800 with foot pod.
I ran with a Garmin 305 for 5 years, simple, stable and funtional. Still have it. Last year just before my first tri, I upgraded to the 310xt - love it!
Just bought PowerTap Pro+ and Joule 2.0 in October - awesome tool. CycleOps Fluid2 trainer.

Of course we're all glad you're recovering Al, but we're also looking forward to see how you train and execute with that PT this season.
Quarq Compact crank...Decided the extra $$$ for SRM and having to send it back to the company for a battery change in a few years wasn't worth it. Edge 500 head unit.
Powertap pro+ built on FP 60 wheels. Garmin Edge 500 for the bike. Garmin Forerunner 310 for bike and run. Still using my polar 625 for health club workouts.
Garmin 705 on the bike is my "luxury" item. I like the maps, but would have been fine with the 500 and a few hundred bucks in my pocket if it had been available at the time.
FR 305 and an old-style footpod. I've had teh 305 long enough that you can't read the buttons any more.
I bought my teenager a Garmin 310xt that I occasionally borrow. He never took to the whole HR thing at all, but uses it for distance running and on his bike. That was kind of a long-term planning thing, knowing he'd probably eventually want a PM. That time has come... anyone have a spare PT wheel they want to dump? :-)
Several years ago, we bought a good quality treadmill (True brand), but I try to avoid using it. :-)
I rock an older Fluid 2 trainer from Cycleops in the cave.
Bike: Quarq CinQo SRAM 975 with Edge 500. Really thought there would be more of us here. Run: Polar RS800CX, used to do double duty for the bike until I drank the PM koolaid.
It's clear PT is in the lead. I was wondering what the score was. So guess what I did for the last 10 minutes? Some fell into 2 catagories and I only counted 1 PT if people had more than 1. So based on my unofficial count here it is:
PT- 48 Quarq- 11 SRM- 5 Ergomo- 5 Polar- 1 Have nots- 1 (or at least those who would admit it)
