more expensive than available products, plus requires different cleats -> not a competitive offering.

Was waiting for these but the pricing is a bit more than what I wanted to spend :(

I dont get it: a whopping 1000 euros for a set of powermeter-pedals?

I'd be down but even at $650 for the single sided system it's just too steep.

Many years ago now, I donated to the IQ^2 Kickstarter project to make a power meter to fit between the crank arm and the pedal axle. Perfect for use with Speedplay pedals. After IQ^2 revealed they could not make it work, they embarked on a standard pedal with integrated power meter. Not only are they of no use to me, I am yet to receive anything from them! I could have just waited for these.

I did like the sound of those but I figured I'd wait until they went into full production... and as you know we're still waiting :-( I think they did push the pedal outboard by a not-insignificant 16mm (per side!) so perhaps that was seen as too much. Of course once they'd abandoned that idea they'd lost their USP so were in a much more competitive market... It's a shame, I'd have gone for them to put on my gf's ebike as she's been curious to know how much of the total power was hers. She may not have liked the answer but that's another matter :-)

Great piece of kit for £849 to tell me I’m old and slow.

Very similar to the Assioma pedals, which are also amazing! (And 35% cheaper). Leds are orange on the Assioma, and my bike is red…

I have been using the Favero Assioma Duo pedals for over 6 months now and love them. These Wahoo pedals seem to have the same features at a much higher price point ($750 vs $999) with the only difference I can find is the pedal style. Curiously love to know if Wahoo has some feature or capability that the Favero doesn't have to justify the price jump other than pedal style?

Other than the battery level indicators with colors, doesn't appear so. My Bolt tells me when the pedals are getting low which I love. And they last a very long time. The only gripe I have about the Assiomas are that they spin wildly which can make them difficult to clip in in certain situations. Other than that, they've been fantastic. I do think these Speedplays will do well but the price point, as you mentioned, is a bit high imo.

I am an old Speedplay user. I transitioned to Garmin with the Kleo pedal because I thought it was a great power solution. I have knee problems, however, that have come back. My physical therapist, who knows sports injuries well, recommends that I go back to Speedplay for the additional float. I have just bought these, and yes as commented below, it is a lot of money, but not for what I will be getting.

@littlealrides

2 жыл бұрын

Major reason why I won't be using these sadly. 2mm extra doesn't sound much but if you're really sensitive to these changes like me (not obsessive - some people can just feel slight differences and these affect their riding) maybe these won't be suitable. I also have my cleats outbound all the way and would even benefit from a shorter pedal axle than the standard Speedplay, but getting hold of these are near impossible. Will be looking at a crankarm-based powermeter as an alternative.

Rim Brakes is ALL the power we need!

The initial clip in process is different compared to the Shimano too because there is more grip on the spd underside I got into the habit of pushing off with my supporting leg. I soon learnt I couldn't do this as much with Look as my foot would regularly slip. So now I push with the clipped in foot and away I go.
