If only it had been an industry changing helmet like that other company hyped so hard 😂

Thank goodness for this one. Because I don't know if it was just me, but even with all the official Speedplay-sanctioned tools and a good amount of pressure, I'd always get about 90% of the grease coming back out the edges of the entry port. The grease has to be really far gone before it's fluid enough to push through.

Huh, looking at my old pedal body, there is a c-clip to remove the spindle and the cartridge ball bearings. But the needle bearing is in there good. I can't knock it out. Possibly corrosion or something...or a different version from yours. No matter, I'm likely to just upgrade to this new system once those bearings go out on my current pedals.

I recently changed bearings on a couple sets of my Zeros. The aforementioned clip is a tiny diameter wire ring rather than a true circlip. It takes a couple of tool picks to get out and goes flying!

Unfortunately i really could use the option for new lollipop pucks as something about my pedaling style does wear the plastic inside and outside sections of the pucks.

I’ve had the same experience greasing Zeros as you. Even with lighter grease it is tough to get it flowing thru the bearings and not back out of the cap.

My biggest hope is that they have improved the retention of the covers to the cleats. I know I'm not the only guy or girl to lose one of these covers, usually on the standing leg side.

Very excited about a power option as my penchant for speedplay has been the only thing stopping me from buying a pair of Assiomas. Just hope they are affordable.

Cheers for all the info Dan, Rich.

Great, production moved from US to Vietnam... and in exchange for this outsourcing we don't even get a price drop, just a trendy Wahoo logo.

I'd rather they employ/buy locally than get a new logo

Like the other poster said, there's a c-clip but there's also a second wire retaining ring

My stack height experience has been different. It really depends on the shoes and how the flat shape is achieved. Some may add material where the adapter otherwise would be. But since the bolts are at the fore-aft end of the flat area, the center where the ball of the foot sits, can be bottomed out: shim, carbon, insole, and that's it. No extra material there (in the middle). There were some pictures of Sidis on the speedplay website with 3 vs 4 hole setups installed and the 4 hole was visibly lower. I have 4 hole Gaerne tri shoes that have far lower stack than my new S-works 3 bolt. I got the S-works (instead of road Gaernes) in part because of your argumentation around this issue, and thought it would be negligible. Stack ended up 4-5mm higher, and I had to move my saddle up.

Another benefit of the 4 hole was the feel. It feels more solid clicking in (yes, I have the right wedges installed), and it feels like your foot is right on top of the pedals. In comparison, the plastic adapter makes the system feel a bit softer. Maybe it's compression of the plastic, I don't know. The feel doesn't really matter, but it did take a few rides to get used to and clipping in my tri shoes feels satisfying in comparison.

Sidenote: the fact that the 3-hole adapter aero surround didn't come with the aero cover was just silly. Glad they include them now

I have a pair of 50mm X-1 pedals that are 20 years old. With adequate greasing and replacement bearings, I have put over 25k miles on them. The bodies are showing some wear, but with another set of bearings recently installed [no affil] and a spare set of cleats, I hope to get another 10k miles before needing full replacement.

If this product release is successful, I would consider moving to the Wahoo version, though I am not sure what pedal would be the most similar. Perhaps some other X-1 user would be kind enough to report their experiences here at some point.

Sorry for more questions but do you know when the aero pedal with be available? The website currently says “coming soon”.

I was in my LBS a few weeks ago. They had gotten in a new shipment of X-series cleats. About a dozen. So it seems like Wahoo is going to keep manufacturing them. I have 3 or 4 pairs of X-2s, so that is good. Two pairs I have been running since the late 90s with no problem. I hope they keep manufacturing the grease caps for a while as well.

I run a set of Paves to avoid dirt problems on tours. The new cleats will work on those, but are missing the steel plate that protects the 4 bolt adapter from the Pave's weird shape. I really wish they would keep making the Paves in some configuration. They are the only ones that solves the problem of dirt contamination preventing you from clipping in on less pristine environments. I find them great for tours where I get off the bike for photos and stuff.

Says that for the Australian site as well.

Although I currently use P1 pedals and they need to go and be serviced as the right pedal has a large rattle. Have had since 2016 and they’ve gone great but could be fine for an upgrade.

Update from DC Rainmaker...so yeah, they announced these things and well, they're not coming for a very long time. "Still in Development". Whatever that means.

"see the world as it is not as you want it to be"

I saw a set in the spring. They were claimed to report the same power numbers as the kickr bike. They seemed ready to go to me, after changing the composite body for better accuracy under high load but they must have found something that I’m not privy to.

I'm sure this is more about manufacturing difficulties with all the problems going on in the electronics world than fault with the actual power meter. I can't imagine wahoo is having difficulty creating an accurate power meter

"Still in Development" was the exact quoted words that Ray used. Whatever that means, probably corporate speak.

It probably means that the title of this thread might still be proven accurate.

Seeing they missed the summer/early fall window no sense rushing them out now. I would assume they will take their time and go for a early 2022 release.
