Favero Assioma Users

FWIW, I updated the firmware a couple of days ago and the pedals have worked just as well as before. They continue to track within 1-2% of my trainer. Just the way I dismount my bike my pedals naturally end up vertical. The bike is left on the trainer (vertical) and I’m not a triathlete so I take my shoes with me. Auto calibration seems to be working well.

Yes, just ride according to Favero tech

I’ve cycled to work and just realized I’ve left my bike leant at 45 degrees - if that doesn’t mess up this auto cal then nothing will :upside_down_face:

I still haven’t got clarification on exactly when the auto-calibration occurs, but this is the latest feedback I got with respect to leaving shoes on the pedals as well as asking about the comments about 6/12 crank position.

"Considering the auto-calibration is an upgrade compared to the manual calibration, it is no more necessary that the crank-arms are in 6/12 position.
As far as the pressure on the pedals is concerned, Assioma algorithm can understand when there is pressure and when there isn’t, so it will automatically calculate when to calibrate and how.

In any case, if you want to continue performing the manual calibrations, it is not a problem considering these values will overwrite the ones calculated by the auto-calibration."

Which program / website did you use for that comparison? Looks good.

ZwiftPower.com (Profile | Analysis). You have to subscribe to Zwift, though. DCAnalyzer also does similar analyses, but you also have to pay for that, too. I’m not aware of any free sites that do it. You can probably do something similar in a spreadsheet if you import the FIT files, but it will take a little bit of work the first time.

Cheers. I’ve used Rainmaker’s tool a few times in the past. I like the clean, easy to see at a glance appearance of that Zwift tool though. Unfortunately, I haven’t got a Zwift subscription.

Golden Cheetah has a compare function that’s not limited to the PDC and free.

Updated the firmware with zero issues.

Will still do the routine zero offset calibration before every ride though. For an extra 5 seconds time, I don’t see a downside. Plus will have piece of mind that numbers are accurate until this feature is more widely tested.

I’m sure the firmware was also improved in other ways and worth having regardless.

These pedals are awesome. I have two pairs, one for road and a modded pair with CXR’s for commuting and out-and-back overnighters with the camping kit. Probably my best cycling purchase.

Just a quick question. If I got Assiomas, i would need basic pedals for same cleats to other bike. Can I use for example these Look Keo Classic 3 Pedals | Clip-in Pedals | Wiggle (Look Keo Classic 3) ?

I wondered about this. I will probably do the same but am not sure whether the automatic process will still happen anyway effectively overwriting the manual calibration so that it might be pointless. But then again it’s so easy to do and such an ingrained part of my routine then I think why stop?

I think it was mentioned above but the auto calibration happens right before the pedals turn off after five minutes of non-use. Might be something to watch if you take a long break mid-ride. All of my rides have been on the trainer since getting my pedals so no real-life experience yet with this.

Noted, thanks.

I use Look Keo cleats for my Assiomas. However, you don’t need to get new pedals for your other bike, just swap the Assiomas from one bike to the other - it only takes a minute

I was just looking up the Favero site to remind myself what pedals they use. I just bought an Assioma UNO setup, so I need to get new pedals for the back-up bike for those days I don’t want to bother with switching.

Anyway, the search, “Assioma” using Duck-Duck Go, showed an interesting result. Is this news? A mistake? I’m sort of stuck with the KEO-compatible platform, but kinda wish I could have stuck with Shimano cleats.

Anyone know about this?

ETA: now it’s not showing up in my search results, but the source for the home page has this text and stuff like “shimano-compatibility-2021.jpg”.

Now that is interesting…

For sure. Thinking about it more, I’m not sure whether they’re introducing Shimano-compatible road pedals or if they’ll formalize the MTB hack that’s discussed in this thread.

I’d seen something a few weeks ago on one of the power meter shops’ Facebook pages. In response to a question about Shimano pedal bodies - SPD-SL specifically - they answered in a way that suggested you should wait a few weeks.

Was going to post here but forgot about it in the end.

My Assioma Uno will only charge to around 50%. Anyone else have this happen?

It’s only 1.5 years old.

Shane, got it. Thanks for clarifying.
