Can you buy bodies only?
Or just swapping them with full pedals ?

Nothing except: Adios, PowerTap.
On February 12, 2021, VeloNews article: SRAM quietly stops selling PowerTap power meters wrote:During the first week of February, SRAM removed all PowerTap power meters for sale from its website without fanfare. While this comes as no surprise — Quarq power meters are owned by SRAM — it does mean the end of the road for a brand that was nearly synonymous with inexpensively and accurately measuring power on the bike, for the past two decades.
“The PowerTap G3 Hub and P2 Pedals are now discontinued. While we are no longer accepting new orders, we are fulfilling existing orders and honoring the full warranty period,” says Michael Zellmann, senior corporate public relations manager at SRAM. “Going forward, we have decided to focus on further developing the next generation of power meter technologies.”
Those who have recently ordered new PowerTap products will not be left orphaned, and SRAM will fill orders placed before PowerTap products were removed for sale from the SRAM website. Support will still be available for PowerTap products, however SRAM has not indicated for how long.

In 2015, Saris launched the PowerTap P1 pedal-based power meter, and the C1 spider-based power meter.
...
SRAM acquired PowerTap in April of 2019, adding the G3 and P1 power meters as options available alongside the Quarq power meter lineup; the C1 spider-based power meter was discontinued at this time. But it was clear that while PowerTap had more experience in the power meter market, and was price-competitive, it took a back seat to Quarq.
Ebay. All of the bodies are the same functionaly and weight wise. So an xpro 10 works fine as a spare. I can reuse the ti axle from my xpro 12's. Same for spare bearings. I have about 100 bucks invested in spare stuff.carbonazza wrote: ↑Tue Feb 23, 2021 8:16 amCan you buy bodies only?

The BikeBiz article says current customer service and support will continue unchanged for at least a few months while the company transitions to Sram.RDY wrote: ↑Tue Feb 23, 2021 5:51 pmAs far as I'm concerned, this is positive. Provided that they honour Time (Rossignol)'s prior commitment to replacing my Cyclos free of charge with the new design, next month. SRAM have the resources to turn things round and get some of the availability and poor quality fixed.
They're an absolute mess. The retaining foil will trigger without engaging the cleat, locking you out. Requiring pliers and a large amount of force to reset it. Some have reported being locked in too.carbonazza wrote: ↑Tue Feb 23, 2021 10:39 pmIs the issue about the spring being too fragile and bending ?
Thanks @wooglins for the ebay hint. Will stock some parts too.
Sorry, missed this.carbonazza wrote: ↑Tue Mar 16, 2021 8:36 pmDid you get some news ? I've contacted r2-bike about mines.
And after sending them some pictures, they triggered a warranty claim.
