You can set crank length using the Wahoo companion app. I just set it in both for peace of mind
Thanks for the info any ideal how its done?
Turn your Wahoo on, once your Wahoo is connected to your phone then in the companion app go to settings and then select senors. You can then select the pedals and there will be options to “forget” “rename” and “set crank length”

The European price difference is a bit smaller. The Assiomas can be found around 680-700 euros, while the lowest prices for vector3 are less than 850 euros.

Any thoughts about the assiomas vs vector 3’s now when garmin have solved the problems?
Are the Favero Assiomas more robust or durable?
One of the reasons I chose the Assiomas (besides the significantly lower cost) was the repairability of the pedals. The pedals can be easily disassembled for maintenance, and the bearings are user replaceable. Favero even sells a bearing kit for both pedals as well as individual pedal bodies on their website. ASAIK, both the Powertap P1/2 and the Garmin Vector 3 require you to send the pedals in for any pedal related repairs (may be mistaken about the Garmin but that's definitely the case for the Powertap).

Thanks.
But does that mean that if I crash, and the pedal gets messed up, I can change the pedal body?

Since I’m a bit concerned about crashing whit a pedal based power meter - that would be a huge plus in my book.

One of my reasons as well to go for Favero's was user servicability.. Yes, if u crash u can change ur pedal body (and it's cheap), u can change bearings ur self, even sensors/battery (even this is expensive part for now)...

Garmin Vector 3 user manual contains instructions for the disassembly of the pedals. It does not say anything about replacing the bearings or pedal body, though. Even greasing the pedals seems to be more complex than with Shimano pedals.

How do you connect those to your phone (iPhone by the looks of it) via ANT+?

That’s just a screen cap of the Wahoo companion app on my iPhone. They’re all connected through Ant+ to my Bolt but I do use Strava app to record heart rate and power with the DUOs, haven’t been able to get the Quarq Dzero to record to phone over Bluetooth with Strava app though, just an FYI but Quarq says it doesn’t work with iPhone 8 and newer iPhones.

Does anyone else have an issue with the pods being larger than their crank arm. I’m worried that this will increase the likelihood of them getting damaged.

One bad corner and they could be taken out.

It's very unlikely for the pod to get damaged before the pedal body itself. My Vector 2s had much more exposed pods and they never got damaged in a three crashes. The pedal bodies got scuffed up pretty badly on the sides, but they also survived.
