I currently have the ibike wireless on my road bike and a wired mount for my fs xc race bike. Comparing power vs heart rate on both, the xc reading seems remarkably accurate (lactate threshold of ~200w), at least on the climbs where its important. Probably too many bumps on the descents for the mtb readings to be accurate, but I'm usually on the brakes anyway. I'm now thinking of getting another mount for my all mountain ride.
I calibrate the tilt while seated on the bike. Though momentary suspension movements from standing on the pedals, bumps, etc. probably cause error in the slope, I figure they cancel out over the course of the climb.
Anyone else tried this?
