Garmin Vector 3 Vs Quarq Dzero

Really want to replace my crank bb30a on a caad12 but my pedals arent great either 2nd hand on the bike when i got it.

Garmin vector 3 vs quarq dzero. One with an alloy quarq dzero quarq1 and the other with its own red. I know dc rainmaker reviewed these things but he always reviews road bike ones. A pair of garmin vector and look keo compatible cleats with six degrees of float is included. I am about to buy my first ever power meter besides the one on my smart trainer and am thinking about either getting the garmin vector 3 or 3s and then upgrade or a quarq crank spider based on as they seem to be very good.

4 left vs right doesnt really matter imo. Electronics may be a newcomer to the power meter realm but the italian manufacturer has taken the fight to powertap and garmin by offering a lighter cheaper and more. For example we saw this with garmin vector 3 this past year where firmware updates addressed dropouts and related conditions. Now stuck on garmin vector 3 or quark dzero.

One of the best things that the garmin vector 33s does to implicitly protect its power meter is provided one of the smallest profiles on a pedal power meter that we saw. Again like stages these werent specifically accuracy driven but contributed to ensuring the data was at a quality bar that was acceptable. But regardless i dont think it really matters. At only 122 mm the garmin vector 33s is extremely slim and is unlikely to catch on pretty much any standard bike though some custom bikes could still present issues.

However put two power meters on the same bike and they probably wont give you the same power figures. Some measure strain in the pedals garmin vector 3 pedals for example some in the cranks the spider of the chainset the bottom bracket axle rotor inpower the rear hub cycleops powertap g3they take their measurements and make their calculations in different ways.
