CONTEST NOW CLOSED. The winner of the Rotor Power Meter is Pinkbike userLittleDominic. CongratulationsLittleDominic
Prize Details: Rotor’s power meters have been known to withstand the watts and wild ways of Loic Bruni, Jared Graves, and even the illustrious Kate Courtney. Get on their level and get your training right with this INpower. The electronics are housed internally to withstand all the icy creek crossings and volcano-traversing trails your little heart desires. Pedal through the Mariana Trench and beat that giant squid for the KOM. Ride across the surface of the sun. Backflip a solar flare. With the highest rate of data capture in the industry, it records enough to fill spreadsheets for even the most pernickety of bike nerds. You’ll be the envy of your spin class, the belle of the ball.
Will it make you faster? Probably. But the coolest part is that you’ll get to see those numbers spike every time the trail turns back up the mountain, and you’ll finally know your FTP (whether you like it or not). Flex the ol’ ham hocks and gear up for winter training. They won’t know what hit ‘em come springtime.
24-38 tooth round or oval chainring of your choice included. Manufactured in Spain out of 7000 series aluminum for top-tier lightness and durability.
There will be new prizes revealed every day in the lead up to Dec 25th so check the Advent Calendar daily on the front page of Pinkbike and make sure you enter for a chance to win.
Winners will be notified via the email associated with their Pinkbike account within 48 hours of their name being drawn.

@ssteve: It's not sarcasm. Last year out of the first 5 prizes two were won by the same person. You can calculate the odds of that happening. There was a shitstorm about it back then. You can go back and check it out.
@SupraKZ: Hi, I just went back to December last year to find the shit storm. Could you give a guy some more specific direction? I'd like to see this... Haha
@noapathy: Thank you for your literal, fact-based response to my tongue-in-check comment. One actually measures speed with a gram scale tared to ignore the baggie and razor blade. I mean....obviously I know this.
A power meter and a good training program are a great way to make a lot of progress in not a lot of time. I’ve got a Rotor PM on one bike and would love to upgrade the whole stable.
I've never considered a power meter because I'm a cheapass... But it would be pretty cool to see how poorly I'm actually performing on climbs. Maybe it would motivate me to train harder?
I think this is the first advent prize I'd really like to win. Most of the others were more of a "It'd be cool to win but I won't worry too much about winning"
Thank you to Pinkbike for following up with me after missing the first Email from them. Thank you to Rotor for the great communication and fast delivery of the prize. I have been entering for years, cool to win something this year.
It's a great training tool if your competing at an elite level, but for the every day rider, it's not worth it. Ton's of reading to figure out the numbers and what they mean.

Yes! It was a sarcasm.
Don't worry. I'm not a real Swiss. Just a filthy immigrant. That's how I know
