Clik here to view.
So what’s your indoor ergo/turbo trainer set up like?
Mine’s not quite as complex as this on the handlebars but I think I’ve got more electronics around me though, I’ll post a picture on day soon.
I think I should rewrite this article in English. Anyway, I’m looking forward seeing your picture of bicycle with electronics stuff.
As you can see in the picture above, I’m using Garmin Edge 500 for main bicycle computer to obtain speed, cadence, heart beat rate,etc. info.
What I am using for my indoor trainer is Minoura V130

and this Minoura V130 is capable of displaying power output in Watt by using this cycle computer

Dubbed “Watt-Mater” and its cost only around JPY4000, it can display current power. Though power meters(CinQuo/SRM/PowerTap) tend to cost very high, this Minoura product costs so cheap but does fairly good job.
The mechanism behind is simple. It displays power output according to the performance data shown in this PDF file.

As far as I know, Elite and Tacx have similar products, but are quite expensive compared to these Minouras.
iPod touch is also mounted to listen music and view Tumblr. I’m using tumblr gear as a browser.
