Surely there will be a Time Quarq pedal soon? Why else would Sram buy them?

I can see "soon" being a year, maybe even a year before announcement, and an other 6 month before availability though...

According to another member, the Wolf Tooth Drop Stop B ring is close and only needed a few teeth lightly filed. I should have info for the BOR rings next week once I have the bike together. My plan is to run a crank based power meter with modified rings.
If you're fine with 38T, Ratio is already selling one for 110 bcd cranks.

You say "groupset" but if you would be fine with a different crank, then it should be an easy solution. I am using a Rotor 2InPower mid compact on my road bike for racing in a Campagnolo 12s SR group and it's totally fine. I even am temporarily using a 34/50 Shimano Ultegra 2 side power crank in a Chorus 12 group on my old cross bike and that's also just fine. I was using it on that same bike with Record 10 for a couple years and it was flawless shifting.
In all of these everything is groupset matched except the crank and its rings of course.
So, on the road bikes I have my preferred Speedplay ti pedals and on the cross bike my, Preferred for dirt, Time Atac.
Another possibly weird, or possibly cool option would be a Race Face Next SL crank with the Easton or Race Face power spindle. I have that on 2 mtn bikes but during searches had come across non-mtb-boost widths too such as should be appropriate for a bike designed around 142 rear end, assuming the BB shell usually gets wider along with the rear end.
Rotor however is much better supported right now than the Easton/RF branded spindles and more appropriate ring sizes as well as their ovals.
Thanks! I think at the moment the biggest issue is that all of the chairings fitting the options you mentioned are wider than 1.8mm, which makes them non compatible with the extra-narrow 13s chain of the Ekarjwest wrote: ↑Tue Oct 19, 2021 9:23 amYou say "groupset" but if you would be fine with a different crank, then it should be an easy solution.

Oh, right, of course! Rotor is now doing a 13s group of their own so maybe the rings for that would be narrow enough to work. I don't know how good or not the mechanisms are but the cranks and rings are made well so maybe it's still an option. The new Adhu? crank can use a "power spider" so you'd have to research what the 13s crank has to offer or how it would mix with their power meter options. I think it's pretty cool though a company has more than 1 type of metering design, spider and spindle with several different combinations.
I had very good customer service recently about swapping a mtb direct mount ring that was mixed up in my order of several at once.

Rotor Uno achieves 13 speeds by cantilevering the extra cog over a proprietary hug. They use regular 12spd chains.
