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…

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]

Could you specify what body you use? I see different models and also on Weightweenies I believe, I saw a different axle design for the Ti version. XPedo MForce 8 Ti XPedo MForce 8 CR XPedo MForce 3 XPedo CXR What body works? All?

I use the CXR and that’s also what you see in the pic above. [image] Here’s a long thread on how to do it and what pedals work. A Wild idea for Favero Assioma pedals [MTB SPD Hack]

As mentioned above, I used CXR. Keep on mind that a lot of the weight savings on the Pro versus normal come from the spindle which you will not use if you are using the Assioma spindle. Hence, not worth buying the expensive Pro versions in my opinion. [image] CXR – XPEDO …

Thx! I see…isn’t the platform a bit more durable? It’s indeed a big price difference. Good point there! I see the body is titanium versus 6061 Forged Aluminum.

Your shoes don’t touch the forged body. They touch the stamped metal. Not sure if they use Ti for that in the pro version. As said, the really important part is making sure your shoe does not touch the power pod. It won’t necessarily be obvious during riding, but if it does, it can cause your peda…
