I’m not sure “coming up trumps” should still be seen as a positive.
Unless it’s one maximum security inmate bragging to another!

I still have SPDs too on my 3 bikes, so more likely to look at crank option but I'll mull on it for a bit first.
Yeah, I know - I was making the point that I didn't get Power Pedals for quite a while because I didn't want to use the Powertap (or Look) cleats.
Like you, I reckon SPDs are great.
Unsurprisingly, I didn't do as well as you @<Tommy> . I came 38th on the road, 16th on ZP out of 158 starters. I said at the start, I'd like to finish in the top 25% so reasonably pleased.

Just watching the start of those races is enough to make you puke! You were a bit unlucky maybe. If you could of found another 50w or so for the first 30 seconds you might not of had to work as hard for the next minute or so. Dunno...You did brilliantly to get back onto the back but I’m guessing it took its toll 😄
I tried to race today and completely died on my arse! Spent the warm up trying to get a heart rate monitor to work and then popped a couple of miles in.

There is always the Shimano Dura-Ace 9100 crankset with integrated Power meters ... Very accurate and reliable, you can then fit your favoured pedals.
A steal at £1200
I have Garmin Vector 3's ... They were great until the batteries ran out, once I changed them I suffered power spikes drop outs, missing RH pedal etc etc. I changed to a C1/3N battery which is supposed to be better, but not really a lot of difference, so more or less gave up on them last may
I had an email from Garmin telling me that they have redesigned the pedal covers and battery board and we're sending them out FOC to registered owners. True enough they arrived this week, and were fitted. The pedals have behaved flawlessly since, I know Bob has issues with the power readings, but mine agree with my Neo within 2-3 watts. I suspect the dodgy power readings were another symptom of the faulty battery covers.
Anyway, I'm off to make an attempt on the Uber Pretzel, I'll be on Zwift for the next 4 or 5 hours if anyone wants to laugh at me I'll be riding in Z2 for flats and downs, and z3 orZ4 for the ups. Hopefully I'll do more than the 70Km I completed the last time I tried it.

Just catching up on recent posts about power pedals.
Yes I use SPD-SLs, not SPDs. I've seen before there is a conversion kit for Garmin pedals, but it seemed a complex solution and I wasn't corniced by it.
I'll take another look at what's available. I've got 4 bikes that I swap about between so I'm looking for the easiest/best solution that I can find find.

Good ride @Norry1 , those starts are so intense . I rode one of the Crit City races for the first time the other day , manage about 3 laps with front group then solo for a lap then a couple caught me up and we finished together. I rode the Bell lap , do both the courses feel similar , I haven’t ridden Downtown Dolphin yet. Might ride one of these a week , prob stick to the 8 lappers to start with .

I’m one of them. Just left the D ride because it’s led by Amador. I want Luke, Rohan, Geraint, or Chris! 🤣
