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. […

[image] ZeroGravity: The biggest challenge in my mind is getting units together and validating their operation. I see no room for error at this point with limited funds. This actually why I think they had exploring talks, that Look is able to integrate the iq2 unit in their production process…

I agree and I am sure that’s why, despite other stretches of no communications, this one actually had a good reason while they negotiated with Look and their production partners. I wonder if this was a Plan B for a while or a last ditch effort. As far as look is concerned, they can’t lose on this ot…

[image] ZeroGravity: Look has been more than willing to license/supply their design where Shimano and Time have not. Maybe I’m misunderstanding, but Shane said “releasing the pedals for the Shimano SPD system.”. So if there was a licensing issue with Shimano SPD-SL (road), why isn’t it an i…

I should be more specific. I was thinking road pedals not MTB . I don’t believe there are any SPD-SL compatible pedal-based power meters and originally Shimano blocked IQ2 from producing a shortened SPD_SL axle to compensate for Q-factor. I am not sure why Shimano is reluctant to allow SPD-SL pedals…

Sorry, my goof. Apparently 5/3/19 is May 3, not May 5. Been a long week and DD/mm/yy vs mm/DD/yy was too much to compute today. It took 2 edits just to get this short post right

I am still confused as to what they are offering to those of us who only bought into the left power meter option… Will they only give us a left pedal? Or a pair and only the left has the meter in it? I was hoping to use these in my training for the transRockies MTB event this year, but now the dela…

I mean, all pedal based power meters come with left-only options so it doesn’t seem that absurd.

I believe we will receive a powerless second peddle. I’m actually happy to get peddles, but I don’t use Look cleats. Saying that, I have egg beaters on my winter bike so by the time these ship I am happy to change.

A hard row to hoe on the road scene to capture market share, but if they can get the MTB pedals to work, hold your beer, because that is a bit of a holy grail for MTBikers.
