power2max question

[djokke]

I have now a 6800 ultegra compact crank on my bike.
I want to buy a power2max powermeter.

My question is: does a 4 bolt shimano design exists from power2max?

in the following link http://www.power2max.de/europe/en/support/auswahlhilfe/ i can read the following
under point 1, i can understand that i have to buy the power meter and a crank
under point 3 i can read that i can choose the Shimano 4-bolt format that is only compatible with Shimano chain rings...

I can't find anything on the power2max site concerning the 4 bolt shimano format.
I can only a thing on DC rainmakers site http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2013/08/powe ... ility.html

It's currently unavailable, and likely unavailable for the foreseeable future it would appear.

If you're not looking to change away from shimano rings you could always look at the new Quarq 4 bolt design.

You can also take a look at SRM (DA 9000) or a Stages left-sided only 6800 crankarm.

Have you emailed them? They reply pretty much right away...

why be just limited to 4 bolt design? there are several nice cranks power2max offers, in both the classic and s-type.

I emailed power2max about a 4 bolt dura-ace version and they did reply, sadly there aren't any plans at the moment to release it despite those photos showing a 4 bolt version.

[jeffy]

frustratingly "there aren't any plans" doesn't mean anything, if there were plans to announce and release it in the summer they wouldn't tell anyone.

I'd be inclined to move to praxis rings on a non-shimano power crankset (p2m or quarq) in your position. I'm running quarq with ultegra and it doesn't make me feel too dirty mixing brand.

Anyway P2max talked about making a 4 bolt spider but they never talked about Shimano P2max-specific crankarms like the SRM version

Praxis rings are top quality and shift perfectly, it's not a compromising choice

[djokke]

I sent a mail to P2M; i received the following answer:

"We don´t have this type of p2m in our range. Due to high demand on other p2m solutions we have this version not on stock and right now this option is no longer in production...."

Power2Max made the 4 bolt shimano version for a very, very short period of time, only a matter of months. I have one, they are not vaporware. They are great, I can run 50t to 55t outer chainrings on same power meter.

They discontinued making them when they sponsored Movistar and started making the 4 bolt Campy power meter, maybe some kind of spondership conflict. I dont buy the "its not a popular option" excuse.

That certainly is an interesting PM build with Rotor crank arms and the DA 9000 chainrings.

I had the same build for a while. Worked great, but honestly Praxis rings shift just as well.
