My DUO is reporting a significant imbalance since upgrading to the new firmware. I have scrolled all my previous rides and L/R power was max 1% apart. Since the upgrade it seems now fixed @ 54/46 or 53/47 . It seems something weird has happened...
Has anyone noticed the same behaviour?
Have you done some basic testing like single-leg pedaling to see if it would report 100-0?
Will do it!
I can't think of anything else as my setup hasn't changed. Can difference in worn out cleats be involved in this?
Ok I tested the l/r
R unclipped and spinning only with L pedal Wahoo shows 100/0
L unclipped and spinning only with R pedal shows from 43/57 to 40/60. This isn't normal behaviour, is it?

Definitely not. It should be 100%-0% and 0%-100%

Got the Assioma Duo. First up they read about 1% higher than my PowerTap hub.

Second I'm having issues with Torque Effect. On outdoor rides generally it records. On indoor rides it generally doesn't. Curiously on the TE section of Cycling Dynamics the field flick on and off every few seconds.

Got a ticket open with support.

Reading 1% higher than your powertap hub sounds about right, drivetrains aren't lossless and the hub is measuring from later on than the pedals.

Bought a new pair Duos and they have been showing -5% compared to my Kickr Core which is also new. Both have been calibrated and I have even calibrated the Favero with a calibrated 12kg weight but they still substantially lower power. Tested with pedal spacers and without with no improvement. Any ideas?

Problem is not in the pedals, you can be sure about that ;)

Kickr Core does not "measure" the power, it only estimates it, and it seems the estimation is not very accurate.

you can scale up the assioma reading in the app if you want it to match your kickr

KICKR Cores are known to read high.

Haven't been an issue for me. I've always been 50-50 or 51-49 and it hasn't changed after firmware update.

Same here, was always around 45-55 before and also after the update...

As always, there are exceptions, mine reads 20W low compared to 3 other powermeters from different brands.

Have you performed a factory spindown?

Yes, correct, Kickr Core is not giving right numbers...

Hi all Favero Assioma owners.

Anyone knows which the closest pedal to the Assioma is?

I bought a left side one only and looking for something to match it on the right side.

I've a look keo max 2 carbon pedals. Would these be close enough?

LOOK
Keo 2 Max Carbon

- Platform area: 500mm²
- Platform width: 60mm
- Q Factor: 53mm
- Stack height + cleats: 17.3mm (11 + 6.3mm)
