Video - How to move a Quarq from bike to bike
I finally got around to doing my team EN homework this weekend and had Theresa record me moving my quarq from one bike to another. I went slow so you can see what I'm doing, however as shown in other videos, it is realistic to do the swap in under two minutes and close to 1 minute if you rush.
I no longer have any icons to post pictures, video, or code to a forum post so all I can do is provide the link to the video.

I did forget to mention in the video, just like switching wheels if you shift to a small gear it is much easier as you have more chain to work with.

@Matt, yes, I assumed people already did that, but I should have stated it. As you mentioned both bike require a compatible BB and a Quarq magnet. You can put a standand crank (threaded BSA) into a BB30 bottom brack with a adapter, but you can't put a BB30 crank into a standard BB ... so anyone in this situation should get the stnadard crank if you want to be able to use it on both a threaded BB and BB30 BB.
@Scott - put your request in and I can see what I can do. I'd rather not do every like thing but if their is something that isn't easily available in a youtube video already, I'm glad to try and help out. I'm doing a complete bike build from scratch somethime next month so get your requests in soon.
Hey thanks Matt!.... I have my Quarq on my road bike right now and have been thinking about buying another for the tri bike versus moving back and forth. I'm a mechanical idiot, but I kind of think I can do this after watching your video. Really appreciate it.

I didn't know it was that easy. I think it took me longer to move my PT wheel from my 10 speed tri bike onto my 9 speed road bike.

I've been asking you do help out out with this for a while now, I'm thinking a quarq is in my future.
Extra double bonus thank you points to Theresa for helping out.
Both of you need to do the 9-sp to 10-sp road bike conversion. New chain, right hand shifter, cassette and a few tools (as well as a strong desire to get it done) are all you need. I finally did mine in November and i swap my PT wheel w/o hassle now. See this thread for more info.
