Apologies for putting this under new topic but I am hoping for users’ feedback on using the Assiomas on gravel (NOT MTB). I am riding on mixed surfaces 70% road, rest rural fire road tracks. Avoid your typical MTB trails as I am simply not MTB rider. They are not designed for off road however I thin…

[image] huges84: It’s totally known. Look at the teaser image or any of the news articles. They clearly say it’s the road version (SPD-SL). There’s a post under @dcrainmaker article on the confirmation that suggests that they may be compatible with some SPD pedals if they’re compatible with t…

It’s actually reply #15. Quoted below: “ Looking at Shimano’s EV diagrams, the PD-R8000, ES600, M8100, M8120 and M8140 appear to all use the same spindle – just with different nuts. The spindle drawing looks the same, though the part numbers are different which I’m hoping is because they like to in…

I guess we don’t know whether they’re supplying the pedal body or not at this stage though. If they’re not, it’s maybe not the warranty issue it is with the current hack.

I have been running converted Favero Assioma on my gravel bike for about a 1400miles. They are working flawlessly. As other have said, the accuracy doesn’t seem affected by the vibration or bumps but it is hard to tell.

Converted you mean with the spd hack?

Yes. You can see what I did here: [image] A Wild idea for Favero Assioma pedals [MTB SPD Hack] Equipment I am going down the Loctite route as well! Thank you! PS: I have updated the schematic for future use by others: [image]

And you use road shoes for that?

I have the Assioma’s converted to SPD using the MForce pedal bodies, and have been using them on my MTB. Not techy riding, more XC, and one 6 hour / 69 mile event on them. When on the trainer they match my TacX Neo 2T within 1 watt. Very happy so far.

I have the Assioma with the Xpedo SPD pedal hack on my gravel bike and love it. The only caveat is to ensure the shoes and the meter body don’t rub and squeak. The first shoes I tried did and it was a problem. Changed shoes and no squeak.

I have the Xpedo SPD pedal hack with Assiomas also on my gravel bike. Earlier this month, I used them on Unbound! It rain for 1 r and lots of mud! I took them apart this weekend and cleaned them! They looked like new inside. Can’t complain! [image]
