I know there was a post on the Facebook group about the IQ2 power meter. I was willing to take a punt at the price they were offering it at. Somehow I missed some updates. Check out the update posted on the Sep 10, 2018 • 2:46PM that has some real power numbers using the DC Rainmaker tool. […

Last update was they finally found the source of an issue they found in their first production units. Apparently it will have a significant impact which they haven’t shared yet, but it is easy to read that it will cause a proportionately significant delay in getting them out.

Thanks. I am interpreting that as next season🙄…

Have a feeling that your all’s money is on the beach in Mexico.

The number of cases of outright fraud in crowdfunding has been pretty low. They usually just run out of money and ideas. It’s not like there isn’t precedence for failed power meter development efforts.

I think these guys being experienced production engineers believed that they had it all figured out and then ran into design to production issues that plague almost all electronics projects and now are forced to eat crow over it.

The big update is out. Complete new design in a Look Keo pedal based power meter rather than an insert. Update is too big to repost here but here’s the link. Short version is that the tension due to the threaded insert was not consistent enough to produce reliable strain readings and therefore powe…

On the other hand, I wasn’t sure that having a reduced axle size threaded into the crankarm was as solid an interface. Any…

I’m so glad I didn’t go for an IQ2 as pedal based power meters are of no interest to me. I’m glad I went for a 3rd gen stages.
