Favero assioma duo shi

This review seems to rate them and the increased q factor concern seems minimal given how much wider mtb q factors are apparently.

Not the cheapest (can have cheaper crank based options), but certainly a good one.

I had an issue where the battery died and they sorted it (from Italy) and I had the replacement in just over a week.
It suits me because I use it between my road and TT bikes. Easy to change over.

I scored my Duos via a Black Friday Sale and are very happy.
Happy to change over from PowerTap P2 as the bearings on the Assioma's are user serviceable.
Duo Shi need to factor in cost of donor pedal bodies, currently $100 and up.
Q factor, Peak Torque (the You Tube reviewer is not a small guy, so he will probably benefit from a wider stance. If you are of a smaller stature, light build it may impact you (GP Lama is not a fan of the increase in Q factor) even though you can half it by moving out, to bring you feet closer to the crank.

Bit worried about the 'q factor' being a little guy, but to be honest I get a bit of shoe rub anyway, plus my head's pretty good (too good) at tuning out little fit issues.
Think I'll go ahead.

Speedplay power pedals are available from Wahootrailgumby wrote: ↑Fri Apr 29, 2022 9:05 pmI hope they do speedplay and MTB SPD sooner rather than later.
SPD from Favero Assioma, there is a well documented hack to get SPD power pedals from a regular pair of Favero Assioma. Replace the Look cycling body (which is made by Xpedo) with a certain Xpedo SPD pedal body. GPlama did a video on it and is still using the resulting SPD pedals.
I might be tempted to create a pair, if Facero repeat their black friday sale.

I am thinking about trying them on my road bike which I currently run a QUARQ Power meter on.

This is the main reason that I got them but will also swap with the road bike for training and when I do any road racing.

They did. The stack height is a fair bit higher than standard Zero pedals though.

Depending on your pedals now, Q factor difference is three parts of free stuff all.

For the Look cleat standard Favero Assioma it’ll be the same at 54mm but the Duo-Shi adds 11mm each side to that.foo on patrol wrote: ↑Sat May 07, 2022 4:49 amMr Purple wrote: ↑Fri Apr 29, 2022 3:43 pmExcellent.

It’ll either be unnoticeable or drive me mad, I’m not sure which.
Might just go the Look pedal and invest all of $59 on some matching Look pedals on the garage bike. Feels weird leaving the SPD team though!

I now have a gravel bike with a wider Q factor.
Tbh I don't notice it.
I better lay low for a while after my unauthorised wheel set purchases , but when the coast is clear I am looking to some too.

I stuffed up, they were only Uno pedals but meh, I have that much crap going on in my head at the moment, I don't care anymore. The platform feels the same, my pedalling action doesn't feel any different but I'm not sure about there being6 degrees of float, it feels more to me but other than that, they hold well on a standing start and 50x12 sprint kick.

Go on, live dangerously and just get them. I never have and never will ask if I can get gear that I want or need.

She is much better than I at not buying stuff and does let me know when she wants to buy something. So I am not matching her standard and she is very important to me.foo on patrol wrote: ↑Sat May 07, 2022 4:12 pm

I didn't need them I just wanted them. Don't have a leg to stand on in that respect tbh
Hope the pedals are a good thing.
