Hi I already have a pair of Garmin Vector S 1st generation and have worked great so far. But since I have 3 bikes which I rotate and I can get dealer price on the Vector I'm thinking of getting a 2nd pair. Is there really a benefit from getting the regular Vector meaning both sides of the pedals or should I just get another set Vector S? Any opinions?

As a guy with 65:35 power ratio I would say take left only : numbers look better ;)

Always double sided is better, however those people which I know and are using double sided ( pTap pedals, Vectors, P2max ) - their L:R difference is around 1-2% so... Having such numbers I would take left/right only ( 1 side ) ; few hundred in pocket for other nice stuff. Or another pm pedals for 1 more bike.

I can be wrong, and have plenty of examples for that ;)

Stormur, 65/35, seriously ? That's a massive difference, it's your usual average balance for the whole ride, or does it happe only in specific circumstances ? Lastly, how did you measure it, with garmin vector PM ?
