There is the Favero SPD Hack option that will come out a bit cheaper than the Garmin pedals, the thread stays pretty up to date on here. Seems like a lot of good experiences with it, up to you personally if you’d trust that with your riding. > [@A Wild idea for Favero Assioma pedals \[MTB SPD Hack\]](https://www.trainerroad.com/forum/t/a-wild-idea-for-favero-assioma-pedals-mtb-spd-hack/18627/): > > This week Favero released version 4.04 and new pedal bodies. When I saw the pedal bodies I thought of an idea. Why not 3d print bodies which can fit on the pods of Favero Assioma’s with Shimano SPD double-sided clipless mechanism? Example: I and other people want powermeter pedals for road as well as MTB riding. This would be a nice solution. Are there people with expertise in 3d printing or pedals based powermeters who think this is possible? Or impossible (please give a reason why) Other than that a crank or spider based option can work across bikes, but I highly doubt you’ll find one option that fits across the current bikes. Even finding a match between the Genius and a new XC bike could require a bit of swapping around. Unless money isn’t a factor for you I’d get a newer XC bike and enjoy that for a long time before going for power. Many people on the forum will tell you that they don’t really use the power on trails like they though they might. > [@Power Meters for MTB](https://www.trainerroad.com/forum/t/power-meters-for-mtb/5505/193): > > I’ve been on the fence with pulling the trigger on the NGeco for my mountain bike. Looking at the month I’ve done ~15 rides and 32 hours on it versus 4 rides and 4 hours on the trainer with power. Hard to really say I’m keeping to a training plan completely guessing on effort for most of the riding. Only worry is that the money for the power meter comes out of a tight budget that might also go towards a groad bike (and by then I’d be hooked on the PM and need to upgrade that too). @mcneese.cha… --- _[View the full topic](https://www.trainerroad.com/forum/t/hardware-for-indoors-outdoors-w-multiple-bikes-for-mtb/57952)._
