Can I just bond the power meter myself like other brands?

Other meters use CA (a type of superglue) to bond the sensors to the crank arm. Although this does work, CA will only create a reliable bond for about a year depending on how carefully you install it. Our bonding process is meticulous and the adhesive used provides a water proof , permanent bond using the same methods that manufacturers for aerospace measurement devices use.
