Related to this, does anyone know if there are any pure flats that will work? The new PD-M8141 or PD-GR400 for instance.
Have had the Uno since Dec 2019. Never really liked Look Keo pedals but I’ve tolerated riding with the left side Uno and the right side SPD all this time. Finally got around to doing this hack with the Xpedo M-FORCE 8 after seeing the YouTube vids. Would’ve gone for cheaper pedals if I found this forum prior. After 80 miles worth of rides, no noticable difference from past measurements. No need to trim my Giro Carbide R II nor Fizik Terra Powerstrap X4 shoes in size 42.5 EU. Loving it!

Firmware 4.80 just landed for the Assioma UNO/DUO/DUO-Shi. This includes everyone using this hack. The change log is pretty thin… but I can confirm it’s good to roll with after giving it a hard time indoors and out over the last few weeks.

Pretty thin?
“Fixed Minor Bugs”
Must have been a slow year for the Favero software team.
To their credit, the engineers spent a few good weeks sorting out one really obscure issue I had reported.
I am keen to see what they come out with for their official SPD pedal. They can’t get away with pushing the q-factor out on an MTB pedal. They can’t use the current spindle/pod as there’s not enough clearance (hence the shoe hack we have to do). Given they’ve had three+ years with the current spindle/pod they’re likely working on a new design… which I hope will result in an SPD-SL with a standard width.

Agree, although i wouldn’t be at all surprised if any official SPD pedal was just an assioma-Shi length spindle with and xpedo produced pedal body.
I personally don’t think there is any point favero releasing a new power meter until they can get rid of or greatly reduce the size of the pod - they are pretty much perfect other than the pod.

Should be globally enabled… unless they’ve paused the rollout. Restart the app/check again/etc.

I did the v4.80 update about 8 hours ago.
This is one of three different SPD pedal bodies that have worked nicely on the Duo SHI spindles. It’ll be great if they adjust the spindle to use current XT or XTR pedal bodies for what they have in the works.

Is that a 540 or 520?
They are 520s. I’ve also helped other riders convert a pair of 530s, EH500s and doing a set of A520 for the gravel bike. The old the M737 even work.
The Shi spindle’s additional width eliminates the need to cut into shoe soles as that width is between the pod and cleat centerline.

Hello,
Do you have a video or link of that shows how to put on the Shimano M520 to the Favero Duo-Shi?
Just follow the four pictures manual. It’s that easy.

You need to have at least 75% battery for the update to show

Fair enough, with mine it never appeared - I looked at the manual and it said needed 75% battery - I changed the pedals, then when went into the app the firmware update was avaliable.
Thanks.
Grab one of these wrenches (gray plastic), loosen, remove spindle. Put pedal body on Duo Shi and tighten with a narrow wrench on the flats. It’s even easier than the original Assioma pedals to do the swap.
I converted my uno with the Bontrager comp spd but when testing out the Bontrager SPD hack vs my Suito, it’s way off (over 15-20 watts and kind of wonky). Cadence is reading fine.
When I swap out to the Look pedals that the uno came with, back to normal.
Not sure if you’ve tested them out? I swapped spindles on the Assioma and used the screw and end cap on the Bontrager pedals. Couldn’t use the Assioma bearing cap since it pushed against the rubber gasket on the Bontrager and can’t get the small nut on.
Bump. Anyone? Can’t be the only person looking for a non crank based PM option.
Thanks for the heads up. I haven’t noticed anything wonky going on so far, and the reported power seems to be similar to what I was putting out on my previous single sided crank arm power meter before it became a random number generator, but I don’t have anything else to compare it to right now. I’ll have to try it out with the road pedal bodies to see if the readings are similar.
I also used the bontrager end caps on the assioma spindles, and tightened everything according to the specs in the bontrager manual with a torque wrench, and everything seems to be spinning freely so far.
