Curious to know who on ST is thinking of buying the new pedals? I am on the fence, I really like my speedplay pedals, not sure I want to give them up.

I've learned not to pre-order, rather to let people who pre-order tell me whether or not its worth it. Just my $0.02

Ordered. We'll see how it goes. I was actually getting ready to buy Vectors when they announced these a couple of months ago so have been waiting. I'm a little hesitant about gen 1 product but PT has been doing power a long time and it's pretty much all they do. Plus everybody raves about PT customer service so I can't imagine they won't be standing behind this product. I was even thinking of going 4iiii when that was announced but glad I didn't; all the delays they had and it was the companies first move into power (as far as I know).

I'll be buying....just not today.

Looks pretty good. I would feel comfortable buying these first-gen. Probably this is really more like a second gen product since PT has the resources to extensively develop and test the product. Much different than some of the smaller companies that launch a power product, or some of the startups that come to market with a flashy idea that is not even produced yet.

You made the right decision not going with the Vectors... Read the Garmin message board about the 3.5 firmware problems and how they pedals drop power data after 2 hours of riding. The was brought to Garmin's attention weeks ago and no response from them.

I'd buy them if they were Speedplays. I need the toe out and the float.

Much different than some of the smaller companies that launch a power product, or some of the startups that come to market with a flashy idea that is not even produced yet.I wouldn't consider this a gen2 product at all. If they had all of these resources to test their product then where is the data? Which pro or semi pro teams have been using them for 8 months now and can give testimony to their reliability, durability, battery life, and ease of installation/swapping? Where is the DC rainmaker full review along with Robert Chungs analysis to help?
I'm not saying that these PT pedals will have major gen1 issues, but if they really did test them enough to be considered gen2, they are doing an extremely poor job of making those tests and first hand testimony available to potential buyers.
If they suddenly release such data, or it is already out and I am not aware of it, I will kindly recind my thoughts. Until then though...its gen1 in my eyes.

I will be buying a pair, but probably not until Christmas. This will be my first power meter and I like the idea of being able to swap them between bikes with minimal hassle and setup.

I'd imagine the majority of potential buyers will not know about/care about the tendency of 1st gen products to be sketchy. They would rather just put a product out there and not instill doubt with a lot of defensive data dumping.
I ordered a pair and really hope PT lives up to its deserved reputation.
The target ship date is June 22nd, but if they run out of stock, it may take awhile later. FWIW, a friend also ordered a pair about 15 minutes before me (6:30 vs 6:45...opened at 6:00) and his order number is ~50 spots lower.

The pedals shipping this month are only consumer direct(not available in shops until these prove to be reliable and their csr's are trained with them). They are ready and think the product is going to be a big hit, but are rolling it our conservatively.

Anyone with an inside track up there know when the dual Ant+\BTLE g3 cap is coming out and for how much? Noticed they floored the price of the caps today to $49, might not even matter to anyone to have dual at that price.
