Nice video!
I knew he'd had to make financial sacrifices in order to fund his training / travelling to events etc but the bit about the tyres really hits home the extent of it.

Data looks ok, I assume. Ive never had power on the track, its a little odd seeing zeros in the power I thought it would be a few watts still always. This is when coming off the front in a very short and fast paceline, like a TP half-lap pulls, goes from say 600w to zero suddenly. Cadence seems correct, although it tossed a couple of zeros in there during the zero power, so it looks a little funky.
I have a feeling it ignores/doesnt send cadence data when there is zero power, assumes I am coasting. Makes sense for a road/mtb mentality. While its not a problem, all it does is bring average cadence down a touch. Not sure if its normal or what. Looking at a friend's PT data it doesnt do that, even though it uses the power to predict cadence, it smooths it out.
I dont know what software will read left-right data, probably GC. Not sure I care yet anyway. Something like a scratch race data is pretty pointless really, its all over the place. Im most interested in kilo/pursuit/f200 data from nationals in 4 weeks.

Only used it for Saturday's race night so far, Im using a garmin 500 and it sync'd up just fine. Install was a breeze, external cups and standard bolts, took 20mins. Rotor crank looks awesome with an 'aero' ring, looks like 1 solid piece.

I'm curious. Did you have to install any sort of magnet/switch/thingy near the BB that interacts with the cranks? Lack thereof is a clue to how they are making it work.
