Working to One AM sitting there thinking...this day completely blows....check the tubes and see this. My day has just gone to awesome!!!!

[@MattSwain1]

If I hadn’t recently bought a bike that had a power-meter included (Giant TCR) I’d have been ordering these for sure as I didn’t previously have a power meter and I’ve ridden Speedplay pedals for 20+ years. What makes me really happy is seeing the original Tacx Neo being used as a measure of truth - I’ve had one for 5 years, it’s still serving me well but I wasn’t 100% sure how accurate it might be 😀

[@xTremeSequences]

I just purchased these today and did my first short ride to get a feel. I'm nursing a right knee and the data certainly shows that. I look forward to seeing the difference of adding a power meter to my routine. Thanks for the great review.

[@benlong2701]

Great review Shane. Always impressed with how well you can match power across multiple power meters at different locations along the drive train from pedal to 'road surface'. I have Assioma Duo's and the latest Wahoo Kicker, but I have seen up to 20W variation between the two, with the Assioma on the plus side. Admitedly I could probably do with a new BB (although it feels smooth enough and I have no obvious need to change it) and there will be other losses along the chain, cogs and jockey wheels, but I don't seem to have been able to eliminate this discrepancy with regular maintenance and replacement parts (as yet no new BB bearings). Currently this is not a major problem as I like to use the Duo measurements via Zwift as my basis for training outdoors and the Kickr is just doing the smart power feedback on Zwift.But getting the best out of the system with matching power would be an obvious desired position. Ideas welcome. Are you doing any offset correction? Could it just be my BB bearings? What do you do to ensure a good match in power across your drive train?

Not sure why you're saying asiomas are better. Less expensive, yes. But these have better battery life, practically perfect accuracy, and in-house integration with the entire wahoo product line. Not to mention a high-end stainless construction and desireable (but divisive) speedplay interface.

Waited for these for a really long time but eventually went with the Quarq DZero chainset, mostly based on price. These pedals are obviously true dual-sided but are another £280 than I paid.

Bravo to you sir. Putting the hard work into the point where a company like Wahoo will trust you to test a product for 12 months before release. I'm curious about how much feedback and 'tweaking' of firmware went on in those 12 months?

Your review was first watched because we could rely on you for AUD pricing ☺. Been hanging out for these but really need a long spindle version. If the reason you ride speedplay is for a weird stance that needs long spindles, it's pretty sad if the power meter pedals don't have that option

[@oliverbabb9780]

I mean... reviewers wouldn't get products to test in the future. Same reason beta testers haven't been posting photos everywhere.

[@davidringo7438]

Great review as always. One thing that was missing for me is the 2 vs. 1 question. Is an extra $500 worth it?

[@gplama]

That's entirely your call. If you're happy with left x2 giving an estimate of total power (and you're close to 50/50 on the pedals) then single sided will work. Dual sided takes the guesswork out and gives you true total power.

[@Drushen07]

Can you pair these to the new Apple Watch Ultra 2 and then cadence and power metrics will display native on the Apple Watch app and mirror to the iPhone ? Perhaps a test as the Apple Watch Os now supports native pairing to power meters and cadence sensors.

[@kevingriffin4815]

How durable are they? Do other forms of power meters last longer than pedals?

[@mausmel2120]

Hi Shane. Thank you for another great video and review. Is it possible to use these power pedals with pedal extenders to increase the qfactor? Will that affect power readings/accuracy? Would love to know your take on this. Thank you. Marek

[@tomandsamuel]

I have this query as well. I think that as some pedal spindles of other manufacturers have longer spindles I wouldn’t think so. Surely if you zero them prior to a ride it should read as per normal. It’d be good to see some research and testing to say a definitive yes or no.

[@philipwaldman]

I'd be interested to see what the outcomes to this is, not necessarily because I am after a pair but just because. Thinking back to the sh1tshow iQ2 power meter, they had to abandon their original design because they could not get reliable data because of movement in the thread between the pedal and the power meter and the power meter and the crank. But in this case any extenders will be inboard of the pod so may not affect the measurements..

[@tomandsamuel]

@@philipwaldman I see what you mean. I have extenders due to a pelvic injury that affects the rotation of my hip and throws my knee out. Extenders make the line of my knee less “outboard”. The extender is screwed into the crank and then the pedal into that and is solid as a rock. The only issue with them is that I can’t use carbon cranks due to the risk of the thread being pulled out of the crank

[@MP48]

@@tomandsamuel zeroing the strain gauges doesn’t compensate for where the load is applied on the pedal and how the pedal reads that load. Cantilevered beams have different strain profiles depending on the location of the load. When you zero a pm it’s done unloaded

[@tomandsamuel]

Thanks. What do you reckon about using them with a pedal extender then? @mp48

[@Haemesh]

I just had a bike fit and found out that I need the longest spindles. It’s a little disappointing that these are only available in the standard spindle lengths.

[@tanbceug]

Hi Shane, as always brilliant video! However, you didn’t mention what you thought about getting the single sided ones.. who are those for and why would the 2 sides be better or maybe it’s sufficient to get the one sided ? Hope to hear from you on that.

[@gplama]

I haven’t seen Wahoo selling single sided PowrLink yet. Single vs dual is up to the rider to choose. Left x2 isn’t true ‘total power’

[@tanbceug]

@@gplama they’re mostly available in Europe. I’ve been using crank based power meters for over 8 years now and I’m assuming that a 1 sided pedal based power meter should be the same. Price is the factor that many will consider getting the one sided over the dual. Or like many of commentors here, just change the pedal system to the more affordable Assimo’s.

[@jesikat]

I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere, do you know what the cadence range on these are? Be particularly interested in how good they are with standing starts...

[@gplama]

I can't locate this either. These are usually 20-200rpm and not that great for standing starts (track style). I'll ping my contacts on this. I have a few advanced questions I might follow up in another video.

[@bryanoliver1900]

Wow look a lot like the favero assioma

[@aw1273]

Hi Shane, Thanks for your great review. I've been riding speedplay for the last 20 years. I now want to invest in the Wahoo PowrLINK Speedplay Power Meter Pedals but I'm not sure if the single is enough for me. Here is why: My left knee has been injured several times and is often under pain, especially if I'm riding harder. My worry is, that I'm therefor probably only producing 40% of my power on the left and will therefor not receive an accurate power read. What do you think? Thanks AW

[@gplama]

Sounds like a good case to use total power and not single sided left.

[@howheels]

As a long-time Speedplay user, I know that Speedplay pedals are not maintenance-free. Anything notable about these pedals when it comes to service? EG re-greasing?

[@Hexsense]

stack height 13mm... Wait. Holds up, right there. A big selling point of regular Speedplay pedal system is that it's thin. 11.5mm with 3 bolt adapter or 8.5mm with 4 bolt shoes. Here, at 13mm, it's as thick as other competitors.

[@Calfasaurus]

If I wanted to have the same pedals on my road, gravel, mountain, and my single-speed (commuter) bikes, would these pedals be appropriate for all four uses?

[@gplama]

They’ll work but the SpeedPlay cleat isn’t really suitable for off-road like the SPD.

[@jansprij2858]

How is the battery life,especially of the right pedal. I have the Garmin power pedals right now and the right one only last for 1 ride

[@gplama]

I think I’ve charged them once or twice. They seem to be holding charge well.

[@dothat15]

I tried to wait on the powerlink mainly cause I was leaning towards getting some speed play pedals, but Favero had a really great deal on their Assioma. I paid around $550.00 for the duo. The pedals work great! The battery is good not as good as the speed play 75hrs wow. Great design also! Whom ever gets these hope you have a great experience with them. I don’t think you can go wrong with either one it’s all about preference

[@alexgeo]

Not sure if this was asked earlier, but is there a difference in measurement of the pedals are not right to the specifications? 30nm seems like too tight for me. Thanks!

[@gplama]

Too loose is the main issue. 30Nm isn’t a lot.

[@iancruz2304]

Hi Shane there is no more L/R indicator on the pedals? Is that correct? Thanks

[@gplama]

Not that I can see. The logo on the pedal body gives a quick reference point for L/R install.

[@richk_1566]

Have you tried connecting to the Garmin Edge? I have. The dual-sided pedals will not fully pair with the Gamin computers. I have tried 4 different Garmin computers. Only the left pedal pairs up. Meaning, that you get half the watts.

[@gplama]

Yes. You only need to pair the left (master) to get total/dual power.

[@harrie974]

One of the benefits the speedplay pedals have over other brands is the low stack height. The normal speedplays have a 8.5 mm stack, but these powerlinks are 13 mm. So that’s over 50% more stack! That’s ridiculous.

[@gplama]

11.5mm on the standard Zero pedals depending on shoe/cleat. I’ll have to check the stack with four-bolt shoes.

[@boggy1986]

Can you use extensions to get a wider q factor?

[@oliverbabb9780]

Speedplay has about 5mm of adjustable q factor in the cleat setup.

[@boggy1986]

@@oliverbabb9780 thx für the info. I am a happy speedplay user and currently run their pedals with the widest 65mm axle and all the additional q factor from the clear used as well... So I would need a spacer to be able to run the pedals. Question is what material is hard enough to not flex and screw up the measurement...

A spicy price. What would be the best choice with rotor oval rings the wahoo pedals or the powermeter cranks? For a non-pro rider rider these are very expansive, seems like they aiming for the deep pockets sadly.

[@industryrule-4080]

Curious how much one who isn't in competitive racing would benefit with high end power meters like these Speedplays vs something on the lower end of the price spectrum, like the 4iiii or Stages cranks with a set of non-power Speedplay pedals?

[@vwnutter]

4iii, left only, just doubles your power to give total wattage. Found that it was consistently under reporting against (these) dual sided power meters. Turns out it was r/l leg imbalance. Not huge, but enough that when doubled at 300+w it was 10-20w and would diverge more as you ramped up more power. But, tbh, so long as you're using the same power meter and it's consistent which the 4iiii was then it's only really an issue if you're racing on Zwift (and then 10-20w is a lot!) Compared to Kickr and a Tacx I borrowed it was bang on, as Shane has said.

[@GlenFerguson]

@@vwnutter The 4iiii app has a scale factor setting to allow you to change the multiplier to adjust for r/l leg imbalance.

[@ValentinBoeckler]

Looks like the favero‘s 🤓

[@BoomsRiddico4868]

Apologies for the dumb question Lama, but what am I gaining by paying for the dual sided pedals as opposed to the single sided?

[@oliverbabb9780]

More accurate power. Leg inbalances can skew the power measure, and that skew can sometimes change day to day. I had a left side only and 2% power inbalance favoring my left leg, thus inflating my power numbers by 4% (doubling the 2% advantage) since I had a left side power crank. Once I got dual sided, I also discovered that my power inbalances can range from 54/46, all the way to 50/50. Therefore, my one sided in the worst case was inflating my power by 8% and was rarely a true representation of my total output. Additionally, it can also point out muscular inbalances as it did for me. More consistency, overall accuracy, easy to find muscular in-balance.

[@vwnutter]

As Oliver said. If your left leg is stronger stick with 1 sided for Zwift racing! ;-)

[@jakobmathiszig-lee8046]

I've been waiting for these for ages but not sure I can justify the cost vs assiomas despite loving the speedplay system. You can even get a pretty nice crank based system for that range

[@DJDaleBlack]

The difference with these is that you get a set of £200 Speedplay Zero pedals with these POWRLINKs vs. a set of plastic Look Keo pedals on the Assioma. Nothing against the Faveros, but that is probably the best way to visualise the difference?

They'd have to be /very/ worn.... I'll have to have a look at the clearance.

[@galenkehler]

@@gplama thanks, I remember thinking about that with the asioma MTB conversion, cause mtb cleats often get that kind of play too, and the MTB shoes had to be cut down

Why would I choose these over assiomas? I had speed plays before wahoo took over and enjoyed them but were way to finicky so switched back to shiamno For general use do these new speedily pedals still have to be lubed etc?

[@DJDaleBlack]

No lubing necessary - when Wahoo bought Speedplay and relaunched them, they made them sealed and changed them in many other ways. Have a look around and see what you think.

[@vwnutter]

You do need to give the cleats in the shoe an occasional spray with dry ptfe lube otherwise you need to use quite a bit of pressure to get the cleat to engage. Think this is the same across the speedplay range.

Nice! So if I'm choosing my first set of powermeter pedals, and have been on SPD SL for years (with Speedplay on a tri bike) which do I go for? Garmin, Wahoo or Assiomas? And single or dual-sided?

[@gplama]

Entirely your call.

[@vwnutter]

Which brand is up to you. But single/double sided. Single sided doubles the power on one crank as you're pretty much the same on each leg. Double sided will give you an exact amount. I found I can vary between 50/50 and 55/45 depending on cadence and power. That can be quite a high margin of error when you get up to 300+ watts. Instead of 150x2 you're getting 165x2 = an extra 30w. Or 30w less, depending on which leg is stronger. Coming from SPD SL to Speedplay the biggest thing was getting used to clipping in and out. Once in they are very secure.

[@pounet4027]

Hi Shane, I bought the Powrlink Dual and tried different Wahoo cleats. It turns out that the protector plate hurts the power pod. The spindle is too short with heel in. I don’t use a big float, but he inside corner of this protector plate in “heel in” position rubs the power pod. It’s better with old Speedplay cleat, but it's not really satisfactory because you need to keep very little float with “heel in” position and my knees don’t like this. The interest of Speedplay pedals is then considerably reduced. Before the Powrlinks, I had bought the Assioma. The Power Pod is bigger, but with a much larger Q-Factor and so angular freedom was possible. I don’t need the 15° float, but at least 5° inwards. The product does not conform to its description at this stage. You don’t mention that design problem. Have you tried the Powrlink with with the toe slightly outward and the heel inward?

I’ve have speedplay (pre Wahoo) on all three of my bikes and I’ve been eagerly waiting for these since they were first announced last year, but £850 is too much, I want two sets but I’m not paying that much, I can get a set of Assioma Duo’s for £560, so it looks like I’m going to have to change pedal system again.

Ahh why so expensive in GDP, equivalent dollar price on todays exchange rate would be $1150 and Euros €1014, whereas they are only listed for $999 & €999

[@dmattingley]

Shame there is no data/power comparison to the Assioma Duo, which I suspect is what everyone wanted, well I did anyway.

[@ashcameron7677]

How would you test that 😂

[@gplama]

Not really needed. The secondary any tertiary sources used as other reference points have also been used to compare the Assioma DUO (all kinds) to with similar results.

@@ashcameron7677 Appreciate it would be mega hard to do and that's not something I need to figure out, but it would be interesting.

[@christosandreev6392]

expensive AF

The only concerning aspect is the 30N.m tightening torque. That’s a recipe for ham fisted people to stuff things up especially at the bike shop

[@gplama]

It’s only a ‘serving suggestion’. I’ve installed them plenty of times without a torque wrench with no issues (similar to the Assioma, Vector 3, Rally, P1/P2).

@@gplama ah thanks for that snippet of info Shane. That makes these as easy to live with as the Assioma pedals except for of course …they’re speed play and that means compatible shoes or adaptors ?

[@volksvorraeter]

The new Wahoo pedals are crap. I have already had 4 Wahoo pedals and all of them had play on the axle after a short time.

[@gplama]

This is why I put that query to Wahoo, and answered it within this video. Let's see how they hold up I guess.

[@LouieBaLLz]

Hard pass! I'll stick with the reliable and more affordable Assiomas Duo.

[@adammillsindustries.]

Give over speed play! Assioma duo are miles better & cheaper. Speed play are “ghey”.

[@fc7424]

The Wahoo are probably as heavy if not heavier than the Assioma once you add the weight of the wahoo cleats
