This is against Speedplay aero vs std Speedplay I expect power pedals would be a much bigger difference.

You know Iāve just been looking at that
But 3w as part of a much bigger picture is very low bang/buck; we canāt just add all the individual savings together otherwise weād all be biking 4:30 in an Ironman. But it does seem there is a saving
Thatās actually not the case now. You can get the Assiomaās from random online stores cheaper, but at a reputable brand like Sigma Sport, the Vector 3 are actually now a tenner cheaper. And the Vector 3 are by far and away the most attractive of any of the pedals available, mainly because they just look like a normal pedal.
105kg limit on the Garminās.
The powertap pedals do not have a weight limit.
Like someone said before, after Iād said it, I would avoid Garmin pedals - mainly due to their past issues.
I think, if you can afford it, crank based on all bikes is the way to go.
If not, then dual sided pedalsā¦or, if you want to dip your toe in the water, then a pair of S/H single sided pedals.
You will be able to resell them at not too much of a loss.
To be fair, I would still agree with this. Pedals have improved, but DCR always suggests you need at least one short ride where you knock out some high power sprints, just to bed everything in again. No such dramas with a crank based unit, that is much less likely to have any kind of damage.
That said, for the average man on the street, pedals would still be good. Simple for the fact of being able to take them on holiday and hire a random bike and have power. Iāve done that a few times, and Iāve frequently taken my own pedals and shoes anyway as they werenāt able to guarantee theyād have the pedals I need available, so to get power on those rides would be nice. Marginal case however ā¦ for any meaningful training camp type holiday, Iām taking my own bike
Iām watching the IQ squared story with interest. Not parting with cash until theyāre in production and reviewed, but that price is gunna give them a very competitive product.
Have you seen the Facebook adverts trying to sell them for $30-$130 ?
Theyāre springing up all over
Yeah, I even commented on one that just made no sense. They were trying to sell the original product that got scrapped months ago.
Thereās a notice about it on their crowdfunding site. Seems their brand is being piggybacked by fraudsters, in a similar kind of way as Martin Lewisā name/face was used with some fraudulent adverts that made BBC News for a similar reason.
Iām a bit late to this, bought P1 4 years ago, never skipped a beat. I went with pedals as I wanted to use them on 3 bikes including track so crank wasnt an option. Vectors were shit at that time with those stupid pods (which some people had damaged on track) and needing torquing to the nth degree to make sure they worked. I may consider V3 though now.
In the words of Marco from Tropojaā¦
Good Luck
Very good Jorgan like that
What would be good value for Assimo Uno single sided second hand? Theyāre selling for Ā£380 new. And I assume thereāll be no changes in market price in the next 6 months, govne its been static for the last year?
worth a peek at the 4iiii range too if youāre a BTF member, as you get a 20% discount across range, so a single sided 105 crank based meter is now only Ā£255 which is pretty damned competitive
Still new to the power game. Ride from today shows one lap having a VI of 0.99. How is that possible?
Edit: see its something to do with whether include zeros or not. Still donāt fully understand as must have only had ~1s at zero Watts out of 10 minute lap. Unless my PM dropped out during that lap which it is known to do.
VI is simply Normalized / Average - which means for it to be less than 0 then Normalized needs to be lower than average, due to the āuniqueā way Normalized is calculated, work done in the first seconds of an interval is valued less than work done at the end. Thus we know that the first 30seconds had a higher average power than the rest.
Thanks. Iāve never really thought about how NP can be lower than AP, as tends to make sense it should be higher. But thatās right for today, tried to go off feel and I first looked at watch after about a minute and realised I was going too hard and calmed down.
Just seen a tweet from a guy who put some Powertap pedals on a Peleton bike. At the end of the workout the PTs averaged 266W compared to the Peletonās 400W.
No wonder everyone is crushing it!
Peloton just sounds very IMJ.
Just set up the KK Road Machine and gave it a very quick spin with the phone app monitoring the turbo and my Garmin connected to the P2M. Nothing very scientific but through a range of gears they were within a couple of watts of each other.
I never really intended to use the KK output so accuracy didnāt really matter but itās nice to know I could and a useful check on the pm too.
My wife bought me some Favero Assioma pedals of power for Christmas. What a gal.
Iāve had a bit of a play on my KK Road Machine with inRide 3 & the pedals seem to read about 20W less than the KK system.
Iām the first to admit that my test protocols may not be as stringent as DC Rainmaker & Iāll have another session in the next few days. Hopefully it is a fault of mine & I wonāt have to work with 2 differing FTPs.
