I got a 5800 4iiii left arm power meter for a pretty good price. I’d say 4iiii is a good bet (I have the coin cell one). Stages also recently reduced their prices significantly.
I’d like to warn against left only power meters though. I can’t actually confirm if this is true, but at lower power levels (under threshold), my left leg “drags” a bit. But my left leg kicks in hard at or above threshold. So if I’m trying to do a certain amount of power just under threshold, or if I’m spinning kind of fast, the PM will read low. I’ll make a slight increase in effort, and my left leg will kick in, and the power reading will jump.
So if you want a PM for pacing reasons, or to do longer intervals under threshold, I would recommend something that reads overall power.
Anyone know anything about iQsquare?
