When they work, they are great. They have failed twice on during large group rides. The first time I thought it was just that the original batteries didn't have enough power after my first few rides due to them being activated during shipping. The second group ride they never even started, after changing the batteries when I got home, I then tested the batteries and they read 3 V. The only thing that was common to both rides was that the bike was laid flat in my car for at least 8 hours before the ride. Don't know if that was the problem, or maybe their connection could not compete with other connections. I am going to contact Garmin to see what they say.
I am an active cyclist who trains for events using dual sensing power meter pedals on the bikes that I ride for my workouts. My workouts vary to build my aerobic capacity and to improve my upper end power to maximize my performance, and the power produced throughout each workout is a key component of the workout. Due to previous injuries, I do have a strength imbalance with my legs, and having the dual sensing meters allows me to see how effective my efforts to improve my pedal stroke dynamics for the weaker leg are for each workout.
I bought these a month ago (cleats do come in the box) and have been happy. Power Putput is pretty closely to my Tacx if I calibrate each ride. Lots of great data sent to my garmin head unit (foot position and if I am standing or sitting among others). Pros: I can now train with power outside on multiple bikes, easy to move between bikes, can use pedals to send power to trainer road app and Tacx to zwift, seem well built. Cons: costly
I have used these pedals for about three months and they have worked flawlessly: fast to wake up and fast to calibrate, giving extensive statistics, some of which I don't even know what to do with ;) I like that they take Shimano cleats. I am still on the original batteries; they last a while. The statistics seem very accurate. The left/right balance is what I was expecting (I'm balanced!), but I was misled to believe I wasn't balanced based on the previous power meter pedals I used (from a different brand).
I have never been able to get > 1 month out of the batteries in an idle state. For some reason, they just continually drain :(
Works flawlessly, easy to install pair with bike computer. Gives power statistics
