Note that you will need to change/set the crank length. You could do this with the phone app, or you can do it with your head unit. This only takes a second though and is located under sensor settings:
In my testing, I generally use between 2-4 other power meters on the bike at once. I find this is the best way to validate power meters in real-world conditions. In the case of most of these tests with the Favero Assioma I was using the following other units on four different test bikes:
Finally, one last outdoor ride to analyze, this time a suburban style ride with tons of stops and starts. In this case I had 7 head units recording sensor data, three of which were recording Assioma (including wrist, tri aero bars, and top-tube placed units). Really trying to validate all were seeing the same.
(Note: All of the charts in these accuracy sections were created using the DCR Analyzer tool. It allows you to compare power meters/trainers, heart rate, cadence, speed/pace, GPS tracks and plenty more. You can use it as well for your own gadget comparisons, more details here.)
With the Assioma pedals, Favero came back to the table with modest updates that not only keeps their power meter pedals competitive, but did so while keeping their price market leading. The addition of Bluetooth Smart is welcomed for those head units that support it, and more importantly the ease of installation and swapping from bike to bike makes this a real option for those that want to move them between bikes. And of course, the accuracy continues to be very solid.

Same for me, I ordered on 27.02., contacted clevertraining UK a few times, but still not specific date. UK should leave EU on 29.03. so i am worried, what happens with order arriving after this date, perhaps price will increase for customs. I will cancel order too. Pitty that I did not before.
IMO it is Extremely doubtful that the UK will leave the UK on the 29th of March.. There will be an extension of at least a few months or possibly a few years until a deal is agreed and implemented. And then there will be a transition period of possibly another few years during which nothing much will change.. As a matter of interest are other suppliers or Favero itself any more definite on a delivery date ..??
I bought me the Assioma duo about 3 weeks ago (used the link from this site but no luck with any discount). I am satisfied with the pedals and the accuracy of the readings but I am having a situation about with my shoes
Basically I can wear my shimano R321 shoes as is, no changes needed. As for my NEW s-work 7 shoes, well, the normal cleats (look keo red) positioning did not meet the 2 mm requirement (between shoes and pod). I then had to move the cleats all the way inward (toward BB) and now it feels as if I am favoring the outside of the foot, tending to roll my feet outward and straining the outside muscles of my lower legs (2 peroneus muscles and the such). It does not help that I pedal with pigeon toes (you can see me wearing black/red kit here link to youtu.be , starting time is embedded in the video)
So, Ever since the last firmware upgrade, and the time I switched off the pedals for travel, they have never been the same. Raised a ticket, and they gave me a special firmware. I still have the issue of the left [or sometimes the right] draining excessively.
They asked me to reset the pedals, and for the first charge cycle after that it was fine, and gave me 45 hours and was still showing yellow. But, after the second charge, again the left pedal is draining too fast.
Actually, the answer is not simple. The answer is, it depends. You can read more about what Ray has to say about the subject in his 2018 power meter review where he talks about single side power meters such as the Stages single crank arm power meter.
Does anyone know if wahoo ever plans on fixing their calculations for Work with the assiomas? I rode 2:10 yesterday and recorded on three devices and the ELEMNT was 400 calories lower than my garmin 935 and fenix 3.
The garmin devices and the elemnt agreed on avg watts and time, 205 and 2:10 but wahoo gave me only about 1200 kJ vs slightly over 1600 for the garmins. 1600 is what I get when calculating manually too.
I can confirm I have Bluetooth turned off on both the Forerunner 935 and the Edge 510 and have been using Ant+ (as stated only option on Edge 510). I will check the crank length issue and see if this could be the problem and report back. Thank you for your responses.
No problem. Just have your computer talk to whichever cadence sensor you choose irrespective of how many there are on the bike. Power readout and cadence readout from the pedals are independent so you can use the pedals for power and your existing sensor for cadence, or not.
after your test, I bought these pedals, I am completely satisfied with them however the cycling dynamics management of Garmin does not seem to be fully implemented when used with a Garmin edge 1030 on which the garmin IQ plugin displays only part of the information.
Do you know if I can hope for a future evolution on this side?
I cannot find right position of R cleat, so I would like to increase Q factor in attempt if it helps by using 3 or maybe even 4 washers. I have Ultegra crankset And there is 3.25mm (0.246 inches) from edge of inner side of crankarm to pedal while using 3 washers, do you think it is safe?
I never do sprints but was in the mood last week and I was surprised that the most I hit was 1000 watts and the curve clearly shows a horizontal line [it is highly unlikely that I hit the same value for that many seconds and the power curve is supposed to be rounded]
I received firmware 3.43 as a fix for a known problem when pairing assioma via bluetooth. It happens that on firmware 3.0 when you coasted, garmin displayed whatever power and cadence numbers you had just before coasting (instead going to zero). This happened to me on Garmin fenix 5 and just over bluetooth, ant worked just right. Learned from other users in trainerroad forums about it, opened support request to favero and they enabled this beta firmware for my pedals.
They are able to enable it selectively based on your pedals serial numbers thats why everybody is still on 3.0. By the way, no additional pedal metrics yet, I guess they have them disabled on purpose while still working to final release.
Hello. I have had the Assioma for one week. I have used it together with my Quarq Dzero last 3 rides to compare / evaluate accuracy. I find that they measure exactly the same average on my intervals seated (TT). But: standing out of the saddle, the Assiomas measures systematically higher watts. Below is the graph from a pretty flat TT course i rode, but standing in one of the hills. Dzero vs Assioma was identically in average, but in the hill (as you see), there is a big difference. This translates to a repeated and bigger average difference when I ride intervals in hills and standing more. Which one is correct? Anyone observed this? Why is this?
Last thing you can and I assume you did (but didnt mention) is make sure you do a good zero offset, going from outside to inside the temp difference and things can be pretty big causing weird readings (for me atleast).
I have used these pedals for 4 rides since I received them, alternating between my triathlon bike on the trainer and my road bike outside. Both bikes have 175mm crank arms and I use with my Garmin 520 in both situations (I have checked multiple times both the Favero app and Garmin are configured at 175mm). I perform the calibration before each ride. The power numbers on the trainer (Lemond Revolution) appear to be in line with the estimated power from Strava and when I was using a speed sensor on with TrainerRoad. When I use the road bike the numbers are inflated. Save for a couple of sprints, the outdoor rides have been easier efforts on flat terrain with little wind, yet the average power is about 30% higher than I would expect. Is there something else I need to do when switching the pedals between bikes?
I both these a couple of months ago and used them with my edge 520. They displayed cycling dynamics with the edge 520 right out of the box. I upgraded to the edge 530 and cycling dynamics is no longer working. Anyone else experience the same thing?
it is almost impossible to consider the use of these pedals in cyclocross, the mud or stones that would come to be placed around the cleat would make it impossible to lock the pedal.
In addition, this type of cleat is very slippery when walking.
I have now had the duo pedals for 1 year. I use with Lezye Super GPS bike computer. They are my first power meter and I Really love the pedals. I have yet to ride in rain as I have had bad experiences with a GARMIN watch that was supposed to be waterproof but failed after warranty. One thing to note is that it is much easier to get product information here or on Shane Millers-GP llama YouTube channel than through the Favero customer service.
The M6 bolt on my Favero pedals has become stuck. Anyone had this problem? I noticed some play in the pedal body, approx 2mm so went to tighten it. I used the correct 9mm socket wrench (CH9) but noticed the bolt would keep turning either way. Would not tighten or loosen. The bolt fits in the wrench just fine and is not rounded. Most be a problem with the thread. A video of the problem: link to youtube.com
Just bought the Uno. Road with them outside and got power numbers that I expected on my Garmin EDGE 500 and Garmin 735xt. I rode on my cycle ops fluid 2 trainer and the numbers were much lower, a good 60-80 watts lower at the same cadence/HR.
I installed the new sensors that were sent in April. Been travelling a lot, and have done hardly 30 rides since than. My last ride was November 10th, at which time it was almost fully charged. I think I had charged them in mid October. Today, when I took it out [8th Dec] it was completely discharged. Is it possible that the pedals can get fully discharged in 2 months? Or, is it some error again?
