Hi there,

yup, that’s right. If power is reading there is a cadence measurement. Both get transmitted in the same data packet. The computer will have given the GSC10 precedence in displaying cadence.

Hi
Have a classic on my Cervelo P5 with Rotor 3D+ cranks
Looking at upgrading my road bike that will have Rotor 3DF cranks. Both have same BCD
Is it possible to swap the classic on my P5 to my new bike with 3DF cranks?
I would then get a new S Type for my P5
Great product BTW

Hi Jono,

Absolutely! No problem to swap things over.

Great to hear you like your power2max.

Cheers

with the power2max type s-road does it need to be a renata brand battery or does any brand work.

843

Hi, The Type S works with all brands that we were able to get our hands on.

Hi Nicolas,

I’m trying to figure out if a P2M can work with my budget. I have a Shiv Tri Expert (currently with FSA SL-K cranks). Looking through this thread you recommend the Rotor 3D/3D+ as the best options, but I can’t justify paying that much at this time. Is it possible to make the FSA Gossamer P2M Classic fit on the Shiv Tri?

Thanks!

Hi,

unfortunately Specialized frames are a bit tricky, because they come in several versions.

If your Shiv has an aluminum BB shell it’s a standard BB30 and you can use the FSA BB30 Megaexo adaptor. The frame is 68mm wide at the bottom bracket. (http://www.power2max.com/northamerica/product/accessories/fsa-megaexo-bb30/)

If it has a carbon shell the frame is 61.5mm wide at the bottom bracket and you need the FSA adapter for OSBB. Unfortunately we don’t have it and it’s not something that is easily found.

If it’s within your budget I would highly recommend the Type S FSA Gossamer BB386EVO (http://www.power2max.com/northamerica/product/powermeters/power2max-type-s-fsa-gossamer-bb386evo-power-meter-and-cranks/)

It’s the most affordable Type S at $1049 with cranks and fits straight in the bottom bracket. It’s also very future proof as it’s fully compatible with BSA, BB30, PF30, BBRight, BB86 and BB386EVO. And if you want to go lighter in the future you will be able to switch the crank arms to the K-Force Light BB386EVO.

I hope this helps,

No news yet bud?

I am hoping for 2-3 weeks from now. But not confirmed yet. Thanks for your understanding.

I’d like to add power2max to my Felt S32 bike. (http://www.racycles.com/product/felt-s32-bike)

It uses a BB30 bottom bracket, but I see myself upgrading bikes in the next 12 months. Would it be possible to purchase a model for the bb30 and use it for a speed concept or p2 in the future? I currently have a FSA Vero crankset, but could upgrade that if necessary.

Hi there,

if you want to have a power meter that works with Trek you’ll need one with a 24mm axle, as 30mm axles don’t fit in BB90 frames. You could go for the Rotor 3D (http://www.power2max.com/…-meter-with-cranks/I and use the Rotor BB30to24 bottom bracket (http://www.power2max.com/...to24-bottom-bracket/).

**Edit: **just saw and the frame you have isn’t a BB30, it’s a BSA frame with a square taper bottom bracket. So I would still go with the Rotor 3D and use the BB1 bottom bracket.

I hope this helps!

Hi
Have a new S meter and looking to install on Rotor Q Rings on my Rotor cranks, is there any issues that I should be aware of?
Great Product

Hi Jonboy,

none whatsoever on the Type S :). All Q-Rings works fine.

I´ve got the power2max classic road on the BOR RR688 crankset and would like to use it on my S-Works Tarmac SL3 (2011). Got lost trying to figure out which bottom bracket to use. Is it the “BOR/Tune bottom bracket for PF30 and BB30-OS”? Should I use the original cups?
Thanks!
/Nicklas

853

Hi Nicklas,

the answer depends a little on which version OSBB you have: if it’s an aluminum frame or a frame with an alloy shell, the frame is 68mm wide and it’s a standard BB30.

If you have the carbon OSBB, the frame is 61.5mm wide and the BOR PF30 / OSBB will fit. The difference to a “normal” OSBB is that little shims are included to get the bearing stance to 68mm.

Hope this helps,

Best
Nicolas

854

Hi and thanks for the reply Nicolas, that helps a lot! I have the carbon version, so I need the shims.

Thanks again!

Just received my power2max and managed to get it installed. Cannot wait to put it to use. Only thing I am not going to like is changing the battery, looks like I will have to take it almost completely off to get at the screws…grrrr.

How long is the battery life? What brand do I need to use?

Nicolas,

Are there any promotions going on now or in the near future for Power2Max spiders? I’m looking to give them a try but looking for something to sweeten the pot. My requirements are:

2014 FELT AR5
BB30
130 BCD
Rotor 3DF/3D+ Compatible (I’ve already got the cranks)
Type S preferred but Classic acceptable
Located in Canada

Thanks!
