That’ll be fine. Just make sure there’s no rub occurring on the pod from out of the saddle/sprints/etc. (will depend on the shoes you’re using too I guess).

Anyone know if any pro teams are using these?
I have two pair of them and and they’re 
Hello everyone,
I have a pair of Assioma pedals for over 2 years now and have been pleased with them. I did have to get new bodies as the bearings disintegrated and embedded themselves into the plastic.
The pedals have been paired to Wahoo Bolt v1 and have been fine. I replaced the Bolt v1 with the v2 because it’s shiny and has colours. 
However, on a ride if I have stopped for over the 5 minute shut off and start off again I have no power reading. I carried on with the ride but noticed the left pedal lights are completely off, but the right pedal lights are fine. The only way to get the pedals to wake up is to connect them to the usb charger. Now, it doesn’t happen every time and I thought it was related to BLE connecting instead of ANT+, but I made sure the Bolt is connecting via ANT+. I seem to have fewer dropouts when the Wahoo companion app is not opened as it connects to the pedal via BLE.
Favero has analysed the pedal data and concluded the left pedal’s battery is faulty causing random shutdown, but my experience is that it only started with a change of head unit. By the way, the cost of replacement is over 200 Euro.
Does anyone else have similar problems? Any help is much appreciated.
@alvaroe16 I know no one replied to you here, but I was having the exact same question - Have you tried this? How are you getting on?

After doing a lot of research… I found no mention of anybody complaining about any failure on the pedal or power meter. In fact, somebody made a good case about the fact that the “loading” on the pedal is pretty small compared to the weight/power we push through the pedal - it is a different direction but relatively small. Most of us don’t push our pedals exactly straight down but put significant power, even the off-axis component of the force to push the pedal during a normal pedalstroke is likely higher than the force of it hanging on the bracket. This is why pedals use ball bearings and not roller bearings, it can take loads on all directions of the pedal spindle.
While on the hanger…most of the weight and reaction force goes through the wheels anyhow.
All this to say… I have been hanging my bike on and off from these for about 8 months now with no issues.

Interesting to see that happened. Does the issue correct itself if you go back to the v1 bolt??
I’ve had my DUO’s for a couple years and just recently my right battery/round thingy started to spin on the spindle. Favero offered a replacement but it was more than I was looking to spend. I figured I’d use it as a “left-side only” meter now. I am not sure what caused this fault but it does not calibrate and I cannot tighten it up.
Note - The relatively new auto-zero feature will never take place when there’s load placed on the pedal, so always be sure to zero before a ride once it’s off the hook. (*If you’re really picky about accurate data).

interestingly my right side pedal batt is worthless now. lasts bout 10hrs. out of warranty. favero offered a lower priced replacements but I too wasn’t thrilled to spend that much
I’ve been happy with mine, but battery degradation is my main concern. I really wish that items with built-in batteries would have an option to not fully charge them, as this helps preserve battery longevity in Lion batteries. In general, you want to store them not full and not empty, and more manufacturers should make this easy, as most of the time I don’t need a 100% full charge of my bike computer, power meter pedals, smart watch, smart phone, laptop, etc… (some laptops do have this feature)
For the pedals, I try to only fully charge them before long rides so they don’t get stored fully charged.

Disappointing that your battery only lasts 10 hours now - that is much worse than specified.
Favero say that the battery capacity should only drop 20% (so last 40 hours) after 500 recharge cycles - that’s around 100 years in my usage.
HI, I don’t have the bolt v1 anymore, but I since purchased the UNO and converted that to a DUO with the working right pedal. The left pedal with the issues I converted to a UNO and put on my winter bike and interesting it hasn’t failed in 4 rides. Favero offered a new DUO for €487.70 delivered or a replacement left spindle €286.80 + transport costs, but I would need to factor in UK customs/VAT charges.
Regarding your issue, I’d just keep as a UNO. If you would responded before I purchased the UNO, we could have split a DUO!!

yeah… oh well… something is happening w/ the drop off in capacity. I don’t know what but it is what it is. Still a great pedal PM tho.
The problem with Li-ion batteries is that they not only degrade from charge cycles, they also degrade with age, even if treated with care. After 5 years, the capacity will be significantly reduced even if they are treated well. I watched a youtube vid going over a detailed comparison of lead-acid vs lithium ion for off-grid solar use, and from a cost and longevity point of view it was the aging regardless of cycles that was the achilles heal for the lithium batteries in this scenario. The details of the degradation will depend on many factors, including the specific chemistry of the battery, but the Favero statement their ignores battery aging completely. (And by not giving you the option to only partially charge the batteries, they make it more difficult to store the batteries at a preferred charge state.)

Oh yeah I absolutely don’t expect them to last 100 years and I do think it is a bit sneaky of Favero specifying the battery lifetime in terms of charge cycles when they know that that won’t be the deciding factor.
That being said, the pedals have been available now for 4 years and there are very few people who have noticed a drop in battery performance - I think those that have unfortunately have some kind of fault with their unit.
If Performance doesn’t match expectations, obviously the power meter reads to low.
That must be the reason.

Charging them less often is also beneficial to the lifecycle - while you can’t control the charging level, you can control when you charge them.

I just bought a Gravel bike I was planning to use my Favero Assioma Duo on both my gravel and road bike (mostly for consistency). Do any of you swap their pedals from bike to bike regularly!? If so, would you recommend or advise against it?
There’s no reason you shouldn’t do it.
all the time - four bikes and one set of pedals
love to hear it! Thanks guys
