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. […

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.

Hubris is endemic among engineers.

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.

Was there a mention of expected shipment date (yes I realize that’s a sensitive subject haha)

One of my uses for it are a track bike so short of sending my track cranks to Stages or uber-expensive SRM track cranks, I’m OK with a pedal based solution to be able to use between 2 or 3 bikes. I would have to spend a lot more to be able to do anything for my 3 bikes.

Not just a Look based pedal, they have a MTB design too (according to Shane’s latest video). I’d certainly consider it for CX racing if it holds up
