Post Power for sprinters

Hi guys,
i'm a spinter in the U.K. interested in a power meter of some sort. It will need to be track compatible what options do you recomend?
Has anyone here converted a power tap for fixed use?
Also what benifit do you think knowing my power output will be to sprint training?
Looking forward to hearing from you

Most track riders who use power meters use crank/bb mounter power meters. IMO the benefit of training with power on the track is a much as on the road.

You can make no single purchase to benefit your training more than buying a power meter. Racing w/a power meter will tell you more about your event, and subequently guide your training, than anything else.
A power tap is convertible to a fixie, and of course a SRM can be on any bike. For PT conversion, check here:

Steve's a good man, he just showed my this article 2 days ago.
