HELP-Felt 2011 B14 and power meter!

I am trying to figure out what power meter I can use for my '11 Felt B14
Power tap is out of the question as I just got new wheels. Quarq is a bit out of my price range. Stages does not seem to fit with the MEgaExo BB that comes with the bike. I was thinking buying power 2 max (http://www.power2max.com/northamerica/Produkt/most-popular/power2max-fsa-gossamer-power-meter/#!prettyPhoto) does anyone know if it would fit?




Any other ideas....I am starting to lose my patience and I am just not too savvy about bike mechanics.




HELP!

    Why is PowerTap out of the question?...that is really the way to go...through EN its reasonable cost......Wheelbuilder or whoever Rich uses...can build it into your wheel I think...if necessary...but even if not...unless you have some superduper wheel I don't see a real problem...EN Powertap deal + Wheelbuilder Wheelcover for race day...Ideal....and highly recommended.

    Try contacting quarq directly. They are taking old PM's in their trade-up program. They may have deals on re-furbished quarq's

    Although I'm using a P2M on my old-school Scott Plasma and I love it! image

    Can promise you won't be sorry with P2M....Love mine too image. When I was looking at getting mine, the support was great as far as letting me know if the BB was compatible. It was (I have a Felt B2)....I'm pretty sure it will be fine with yours also, just give them a call.

    I have a 2011 Felt B16 and I recently got the Power2Max FSA - for an extra $99 I upgrade my rings to Praxis too. My shifting has never been better. Great PM for the price

    Why not just put a GXP bottom bracket on it (for less than $50) and buy a used GXP Quarq on eBay. You should be able to find a nice one for around $850 give or take. Or if you insisted on buying a new one, you can get a Quarq Riken for $1,299 now. Another alternative is to keep your crankset and buy a set of the Garmin Vector pedals for $1,399.

    If you're looking at P2Max (which I also have no issues with) a used Quarq should be about the same price, but likely even cheaper...
