Anyone have one of these? Are they worth it? I already have an SRM so the power reading isn't important to me but I am looking for a worthwhile trainer. I know this is a long shot, but will it act like a velodyne and maintain a constant power output regardless of cadence (e.g. you slow your cadence, it gets harder to keep you at the same power output)?

I have a pair of rollers I use to warm up on before races so transportation isn't an issue.

Thanks,
Justin

I bought when they were $250 but now they are $349. It is a nice and stable trainer but I doubt the power meter is as accurate as your SRM. Not sure what you mean but you can see the power numbers vary by altering cadence. You can see the wattage numbers change as your change gearing while maintaining the same cadence. I like it alot, it's a tough unit. That reminds me, got to go ride it now.
