    Hi you know me Im in Trim I have a new set of duo only a month old so little use due to Lockdown. You are welcome to them for €675 thats less than I paid. Reason I,m selling is normally use crank bros pedals and can’t get used to unclip. Have box continental plug etc. To be honest nice power meter but I will kill myself at a junction as I just cant adjust to unclip- Totally different to MTB pedals.

    Thanks for the offer. A bit out of my budget. I was hoping for something cheaper....possibly not new of course.

    Perhaps Cramcycle is interested in them.

    Are you using assiomo cleats or Look?

    According to comments on assiomo seller site by actual owners, look cleats work but not as easy to unclip as assiomo

    If this might be your problem google assiomo cleat compatibity for a fair ampunt of comments

    The same issue with powertap pedals. Cheapo welgo cleats work that little bit better for the actual clipping and unclipping than the keo ones.

    AFAIK
    Powertap use the same pedal body as Favero.
    Its from a company called Expedo.
    I have used Powertap,Wellgo (and obviously Expedo) and Favero cleats without issue but not look.
    I have Expedo pedals as my normal pedals.

    Re my pedals I will be speaking to my clubmate over theweekend and where they are at!

    Changed the cleats and works perfectly. In order of compatibility 1 Own cleats work well, 2 Look cleats work ok just loosen them more than usual, 3 Look compatible copy cleats be very careful or you will have a low speed topple at lights

    Can you get the recommended cleats in a 4.5 degree float?

    Stages crank arm PM maybe Galego? Get a left-sided one and it's on/off in minutes to move bikes etc.

    Better off buying new unless they are a fair bit cheaper than RRP. The Favero needs to be registered to work, so warranty may be invalid for second owner... and at the end of the day.. its a powermeter. And a pedal powermeter at that.

    I have had 2x Powertap Pro hubs fail, 3 x Power2max (one classic failed, the other two were type S and the battery compartment cracked supposedly due to overtorque which may be true for one but not the other), 1 x Quarq just stop and also a Giant Power pro go boom. I still have a half dozen newer Power2max NgEco and Quarq Dfour and they are great and those companies Power2max in particular have amazing aftercare- they have always looked after me.. but still, I would never buy a secondhand power meter unless it was a spectacular deal.

    That being said, have a new bike being added to the fleet and it comes with a nice shiny Dura Ace crank that I don't want to replace so am almost certainly going to buy a set of Faveros this week, since they appear to be solid units.

    I think I may go that route as all my bikes are in shimano cranks.

    By the way, i tested some Assioma on my mate"s bike at the weekend and with Look cleats on my shoes they didn't release or click in that easily. Clicking in was a bit annoying.....possibly gets better with practice. :-)
