Quarq Powermeter Club Purchase 20% DISCOUNT!!!

http://quarq.com/cinqo

The EndureIt! Club has arranged for a 20% discount to all club members who wish to purchase a Quarq powermeter as a group purchase order. A Quarq powermeter is a crank based powermeter, so unlike wheel based powermeters, a Quarq system allows the rider to use multiple wheelsets without having to purchase additional hubs (ie, you can now train and race with power without having to leave your expensive race wheels at home or worse having to purchase a second hub!).

We will make another announcement at next week’s club meeting, but we only need 10 orders to qualify for the discount. We will be ordering as soon as possible in order to provide enough time to take delivery since these powermeters are in high demand as evidenced by Quarq now taking deposits just to “hold a place in line to purchase.”

Please contact Drew at EndureIt as soon as possible if you would like to be included or have any questions about Quarq powermeters and how they might compare to other powermeters out there.

Here is a little info from the Quarq website:

Approximate Price for Quarq only, no cranks: $1495 before club discount
Approximate Price for Quarq and compatible crankset: $1695-1845 before club discount and depending on crank arm

· The Quarq CinQo is a bicycle powermeter that is integrated into the crankset of the bicycle. Specifically, the CinQo is a instrumented crank "spider" that mounts on specific production cranksets.
ANT+ Wireless Communication:
· The ANT+ radio transmits the CinQo's power measurement digitally to other ANT+ compatible bicycle computers.

· CinQos are currently available in 130 BCD and 110 BCD.
Battery:
· CR2450. Lifetime - 400 hours of riding. User replaceable without tools. Lid is threaded and seals like a contact lens case.

· The CinQo is accurate to within +/- 2%. Each CinQo is individually calibrated in Spearfish, SD. The calibration values are stored on the CinQo, for seamless interchangeability with receiving devices
