Thanks for the reply. I understand power smoothing, but i mean the custom Trainerroad screen, where you have lap average - i find it strange if the lap average jump as much in the middle of interval without any changes in pedaling and goes back again in a second or two.
The lap avg shouldnāt jump around that much unless itās the first 20 seconds of your interval. Seems like a Garmin bug.
Quick question. Iām currently switching my Pedals ~2 times per Week. Could that possible cause issues long term and should i consider getting a 2nd pair?
Iād say no issue. As long as youāre not putting mech stress on the pod, only using the hex wrench, and ensuring the pod does not touch the crank arm (using washers if needed). Keep the axle threads lightly greased. Do a calibration after every move. You should be good for years.

Zero issues in my experience. I swap my pedals out multiple times a week and have done for nearly 3 years now.

@mkop, If you havenāt done so, I recommend calibrating your pedals before every ride. This will do a zero/offset that may fix your power issues.
Also, you can check the battery state of the pedals, as well as any firmware updates on the Favero Assioma app. Updating the firmware can also eliminate any corrupted data causing your power inconsistencies.
@Scapewalker, as itās been mentioned, you should be all good to go 
. Just check that the crank arm lengths are the same when you switch them. You will need to change/set the crank length if they are different lengths. You could do this with the phone app, or you can do it with your head unit. This only takes a second, though, and is located under the sensor setting.

Has anybody had issues with flying with these in carry on luggage with security.
Nope, no issues at all. Iāve flown with them multiple times in my carryon and never had my bag flagged for extra searching because of them.
Flown with them in my carryon with no issue for years.
Only last time on an internal flight in Mexico, Security guard quickly opened my bag, took them out, look at me and told me āitās cycling stuff, right?ā and put it back in the bag
I personally ran into a issue with one where i was using the provided hex key and it bent the metal instead, I eventually was able to wedge it in place to get the pedal off but then i couldnāt install it again. I contacted their support and they said i wasnāt using the correct one (100% was as its a different color to my personal set) but they would replace it for the cost of shipping to italy. Its possible I did it up too tight at the time I suppose.
Looking at the other pedal as I bought the duo, it has similar damage to the hole but I am able to remove it and install it fine.
Customer support is amazing btw.
Itās an 8mm hex key; the torque required to secure the pedal is much lower than the point where damage occurs to the wrench or the hex hole. Sounds like either you used the wrong hex wrench, and/or applied way higher torque than needed, and/or tried to undo a pedal turning in the wrong direction, and/or did not fully insert the wrench into the pedal spindle.

Hi Kenzii,
i have had the Assioma Duo Favero pedals for about two years and I alternate them both on the road bike and on the time trial one. My personal advice is not to tighten them to the extreme! I limit myself to a tightening torque, lower than the one declared and Iāve never had any problems. Itās not your case, but finally, I remind you that, (looking the pedal from the inside, therefore looking at the hex bolt and its hole for the key), they screw towards the front wheel, and towards the rear wheel they unscrew;
this for both pedals. Finally, always a small layer of grease on the thread, this will allow a slightly lower tightening torque and a subsequent easier unscrewing.
I write it because, unfortunately, some have done damage trying to unscrew them by pressing in the opposite direction or for an excessive torque ! Isnāt necessary.
Cheers.
Corrado, Italy.

Anyone seen this issue before? Was using powermatch on a v1 wahoo kicker. 40 minutes into the ride I had cadence and power ādropoutsā. The cadence and power data didnāt drop to 0, but watts drop 15-30 and cadence from 90 to 80, then the watts would rebound as the kicker presumably tried to up the resistance.
Garage door was open, and it got dark during the ride, affecting the light levels in the garage. Maybe this messed with the kickers optical sensor?
Pedals connected to TR via ant, kicker via Bluetooth, and pedals simultaneously connected to Zwift via Bluetooth.
Link to ride, about 40 minutes in. Log In to TrainerRoad
Would increasing the Q factor using pedal washers mess with the accuracy of my assioma pedals substantially?
I donāt think so. Assioma also recommends washers to be sure the pods donāt touch the cranks

No, Favero even include 4 in the box to use if required.

I use the LOOK Keo Grip Road Cleats. No problems at all.

Was there a recent update with Garmin or Favero? I noticed today my duoās were pairing under a different name and opposed to just one connection, I now see two?
My head unit is a Garmin 530
Cheers
I have had dropouts, but only with Bluetooth. No dropouts with ANT.
