Favero Assioma Duo - Detailed Review

[@irvingabbott6]

dude it's great to see you back!!! I need to catch up on your vlogs.

[@esbenzimmer]

Thanks for the review! 1 questions: How is the accuracy at low power (below 50W), and at what low level do they "drop out"?

[@TacomaCyclist]

Pretty darn accurate.

[@OliverCrowhurst]

They don't drop out. Theoretically you could produce as low as 1 watt of power and it would detect and transmit that reading.

Was considering getting these pedals for my winter bike, and tt bike 😀👍 thanks for review dude👌

[@TacomaCyclist]

Glad I could help!

[@BalancedMentality]

Thanks for your great review, great that you bring your son into cycling! One question. I am considering to buy the Assioma or the new Garmin Rally pedals. Biggest pro for the Garmin is, that I can keep my Shimano cleats / the shimano styl clipping. I never used Look Kéo and I am not sure, if it will be difficult to learn another clipping style. Looks easy as you clip in, can you comment on that?

[@TacomaCyclist]

Honestly, they're pretty identical. They are only slightly different and many people wouldn't even be able to tell the difference.

[@BalancedMentality]

@@TacomaCyclist Thanks!

[@waynesmith4589]

I don’t know anybody who has a bad word to say about these pedals .

[@Fluffya]

I'm also using an Elite Suito trainer and consider buying these pedals. Other than for sprinting, did you notice any discepancy concerning the power readings? I'm thinking my trainer underreads a little: I bought the suito in february 2020 and have read here and there that the early units might have this problem.

[@TacomaCyclist]

None. The trainer I have is dead on accurate. Have you done a recent calibration on the trainer?

[@Fluffya]

@@TacomaCyclist Yeah, I calibrate it every month or so but have to use the elite app to do so. Impossible to do it using zwift which boggles my mind...

[@Al.2]

Why would transmission losses (percentage wise) only occur during sprint efforts? It seems that the trainer should always read a tad less than the pedals.

[@TacomaCyclist]

It's not that they're only during sprints. Notice, I mentioned that They'll ready 810 to 815 when the trainer or Quarq are reading 800? That's still 1 to 2% but because it's a bigger base number, the discrepancy seems bigger. In reality, it's still within that range but appears more significant at higher wattages.

[@Al.2]

@@TacomaCyclist Thanks. 1-2% difference in readings looks reasonable to me.

[@terencemacatangay8198]

There’s a rumor that Favero will be using Shimano SPD pedals on their next powermeter pedals. That’s exciting!

[@TacomaCyclist]

That would be exciting! Spd cleats, imo, are the best and most flexible.

[@arhu74]

I notice no difference whatsoever between the assiomas and the spd-sl I used before
