The Chinese don't give a shit about patents and will take over all of them before we know it.

Pulled the trigger for €129 and something with alu crankset (coupons+PayPal discount)

Eh, some do some don't. Patents are significantly more respected now that a decade or two ago. There's absolutely still a lot of infringement, but it's not universal.

How much is the PayPal discount? Is it applied automatically once you select to pay with Pay?

[massarob]

You have to "try" it but yes, discounts via Paypal payment give often an additional coupon (€8). You can use it only once/for 1 purchase for that discount slot days, e.g. "AliExpress Valentine's days" now.

If they didn't, why did it take so long for $500usd wheelsets w/ dt240 hub clones to be as good as $3500 western wheelsets?

You can also see there is a flat line with 0 watts at some point.

Looking at the date log, one of the "zero watts" moments is on a downhill - could be coasting, not pedalling

yeah, your right, maybe we just wait for the review.

I think some of the comments and issues with cheap PM have  to be put in context of use case. I am new to the sport, I have wimpy legs with a 210W FTP and never push more than 700W. So when I hear a review talking about issues during sprints with 1200W, am I really concerned, should I really be? I spend 99% of my time between 140 and 270W, at this point of my journey, I don't care about a 2% offset. So the cheap $120 PM might be all I need right now.

I'm really curious this review:D

Maybe this problemas will be solved vía firmware... I hope so. And Maybe, once the firmware is optimized, the price grows up!
