I didn't find the move from shimano to look cleats very difficult. the shimano platform seems to be a bit larger, but once I got the cleats set, i didn't have any regrets. that said, if Favero offered a shimano cleat pm, I would have gone that way, but the change was a small price to pay for an awesome pm.

Ok, go ahead and mansplain it to me.

Is it "there is only one, quarq", meaning there is only one PM to behold and it is quarq?

Is it "there is only one quaorq?" but the "?" was left off?

My brain is apparently not functioning this AM so help!

psst... it's a physics joke....

Well, I was going for subatomic particles while Jason was going for the Star Trek reference.

I think Wavemaker was saying that the best option is Quarq

I had dual-sided P1 pedals before my Assioma pedals. The Assiomas are eons ahead of the P1. Yes, they charge via standard USB (using the proprietary Assioma cable). They seem to last forever on a charge. I typically ride around 5 hours/week, and that would officially translate to about 10 weeks of riding between charges, according to the 50 hour official battery life. That is probably about right, since I cannot remember the last time I charged.

Also, I think the Assiomas are a little easier to clip in than the P1 pedals.

Yep, global supply is pretty much halted. I have been switching mine between my road bike and Tri bike regularly. I have been riding my road bike a lot more recently, and almost bought a second set just to eliminate the little bit of hassle. But, I punted when I saw that shipping is an unknown.

My two cents Quarq makes the best most reliable and there prices havee come down. They are bullet proof! The only other one I would consider is SRM.

Ha, thanks. I should've guessed at that since physics was one of my favorite subjects. My brain did not want to expand beyond the realm of bikes this AM.

I think this exchange here has reached peak-slowtwitch.

We can just close down the forum and move on with our lives now.

Regarding Quarq pricing along with powermeter price trends:

62 answers in 8 days: power meters are a popular subject to discuss about. Although you can be different opinion whether you really need them. I still do not have them, although I do spend money for speed.
I thought about power2max, because I have Rotor cranks, but it is kind of a hassle to mount and it costs money. I also do not have the feeling I NEED it. I do not think that power would benefit me addition to HF and Perceived Exertion.

That said, if I WOULD get a PM, I would not get a pedal based system, because I like my speedplays at the moment and I would be urged to use look keo. Since I walk in transition zones this would not be an option. If you're ok with look keo however, it seems that Favero Assioma is the thing to get by far.

To see left/right difference, what do you do with that information? Try to push more with one leg and less with another one? I wonder if you benefit from that. It is probably better to not see that information.
