This week Favero released version 4.04 and new pedal bodies. When I saw the pedal bodies I thought of an idea. Why not 3d print bodies which can fit on the pods of Favero Assioma’s with Shimano SPD double-sided clipless mechanism? Example: Clipless Shimano SPD Pedals 3D Model $30 - .unkno…

Wow, just saw this and need to spend some time reading it all. MTB power pedals would be cool, though I too would worry about pedal strike damage. I think if someone came up with a univerdal spindle that could accept any pedal body - they could sell a lot.

I would be careful to take them on full on technical mountain bike trails. For me personally, I would use them for gravel rides and simple single track rides. I live in the Netherlands. To there are no rocky mtb trails here. Mostly they are flowy with an occasional tree root.

This is my use case. Doing a 130 mile gravel ride in the base look cleats was not a great experience.

What’s cranks are you using? Does the pod stick up past the crank and do you think one of those rubber crank protectors would be useful? I’m considering this for my cross bike.

So, a few things. I picked up a pair of the CXR and am trying this hack. In response to @Heatdeathofuniverse below, the CXR has the o-ring also, but it’s attached to the spindle and can’t be removed. Which brings me to my problem/dilemma. With the Favero spacer on, tightening the CXR end nut to even…

That spacer/Oring will (or should come off, the mforce one was on pretty tight) come off. It’s just sorta pressed on a bit. You can put the spindle between two blocks of wood with it resting on the spacer and give it a tap and it should pop off.

Nice. Yeah, I don’t have a torque wrench so I tightened with the Assioma spacer to where it started to affect the pedal rotation just a touch. I added threadlock to that nut and it hasn’t budged after about 6-8 hours of trainer rides, nor has it cut into the pod housing the other way either. I’ve…

To everyone who executed this hack, did you all had to chop some sole from your spd shoe? Or where there lucky ones who didn’t had to do that?

Hmm, I’ll have to have another go at it today.

This weekend I will install the M Force 4. Hopefully the weather will improve that I can test them soon
