 		 #186560 - Sigma fake
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Just note that the Sigma just fakes a Watt reading by trying to guess the air resistance, friction etc.

All that just to avoid actually measuring any force.

It would be better to go for something like this:

By the way - here is a review of different technologies used:

   Only 400W?            01/01/70 00:00      
      Its a bit different on the road            01/01/70 00:00      
         Brilliant idea in the bath            01/01/70 00:00      
            Might work            01/01/70 00:00      
               well...            01/01/70 00:00      
                  So you are yourself saying 400W is a bit low max scale            01/01/70 00:00      
                     O.K then 500 watts            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Battery            01/01/70 00:00      
            Fun with strain gauges            01/01/70 00:00      
         You sure?            01/01/70 00:00      
   nice ride            01/01/70 00:00      
      fanks            01/01/70 00:00      
   Sigma Rox 9.1...            01/01/70 00:00      
      Sigma fake            01/01/70 00:00      
         What do you expect for that price?            01/01/70 00:00      
            Head or tail wind? Or riding in a group or alone?            01/01/70 00:00      
               Way overcomplicating this            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Sensors            01/01/70 00:00      
                     how indeed            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Wrong - you are totally missing the drag factor            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Not at all.            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Real manufacturers haven't found your idea simple...            01/01/70 00:00      
                           Point made            01/01/70 00:00      
                           Some of your points are just wrong            01/01/70 00:00      
                              Sounds like you expect an infinite acceleration            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 Repeat post Ignore            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 I try for a constant power            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    Crank rpm - not back wheel rpm            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       I got the two confused            01/01/70 00:00      
                                          Bandwidth + return channel            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Oh dear, so many variable constants            01/01/70 00:00      
                  rocket science            01/01/70 00:00      
                     So don't ignore them            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Of course, it is...            01/01/70 00:00      
                           wireless            01/01/70 00:00      
                              Costs...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 cost            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    Another problem            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       This was addressed earlier            01/01/70 00:00

                                             Pulse            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                If I had the power meter            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                   Normalizing with heart beats cancels some errors            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                      Just to get some data to look at            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                         Jez ?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                            Oh Noes!!!!!!            01/01/70 00:00

                                                      Ive been testing things            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                         Well, no            01/01/70 00:00
