No, iv got full aluminum tt bike , disc wheel the lot . 1K off ebay 5 years ago.
And an old road bike .
But really something that would double up ,road and tri , would be more appropriate
and then cx bike for off road /commuting would be more appropriate than the mountain bike I have ( don't do lot mountains)

That's a nice piece of kit.

Unfortunately I did if with an XC bike, which I was having knee pain on, so not quite the same as a road bike but have used the measurements on my Ghost roadie and its been spot on for me. Might need a bit more reach as its quite an upright position atm though.
One of the things that might not be too clever for knees is the position of your cleats - if you use those. That was the probable cause of my knee pain.

Did it a few years ago - £180 in a London specialist someplace. Did take a while, was very thorough and afterwards came out with a printout of angles/measurements.

My local bike shop recommended turning the cleats slightly so that I rode with toes pointing in rather than out and this cured knee pain for me.

No real idea, just Strava's guess but it won't be many. I broke PR's on the way to the hill and burnt out, recovered on the way down and got a few more. Saddle up a bit more and cleats tweaked today, short ride, 6 PR's out of 7 sections, knee felt OK, fingers crossed. But pissed off that I could ride further on my mountain bike.

I use a 'Stages' crank arm power meter. It has built in cadence aswell. Other than hub power meters, this has to be the simplest and aesthetic looking meter. Prices are in the low end compared to other power meters
Because my road bike and mtb use Shimano cranksets, both the same length I could easily swap from one bike to another
