Default PM on Recumbent?

Are any PMs compatible with recumbent bikes? I may be looking that direction following prostate surgery in a few months.

My PowerTap Pro is laced into a 700c, but it would seem it should work with a recumbent too. I'm not sure about an Ergomo - maybe depends on the specific BB used in the recumbent.

All recumbents I know of use normal BSA bottom brackets. As far as I know SRM, Powertap and Ergomo all work fine, never read of any problems.

Most recumbents have a 135mm rear dropout spacing, that might cause some troubles with your Powertap (if it's 130mm).

My brother has been running power taps on his (Bacchetta) recumbent for several years. 135 spacing no problem, Saris sells an axle kit to get 135 (mainy for mtb use). Wheel size does not impact PM use.
