A few people in my club do this, im not sure if its for the "I have an srm" bragging rights or if they actually utilize the information recorded.
Ive got a cheapo cateye that i use for current speed when warming up or training juniours and max speed for when im doing efforts, but i do like the idea of being able to see how fast i got to that speed, how long i held it for, if it was a few second peak before dropping down a few ks
I think a power meter would be awesome, but well out of my price range, the headunit is still pricey and im not sure it would be worth the cost....
I did it for years. I've used SRM PowerControl 7 without power meter cranks and the data was wonderful. It records every 0.5s. Before that I had a Garmin 500. It only recorded every second, and you had to manually turn off GPS all the time.
