I’m looking to purchase my first power meter and I am leaning towards Power2Max NGECO mostly due to cost (~$650) and decent reviews from what I’ve read. I have a few questions for those with P2M experience: -Any issues to be concerned with? -How’s the US support if any? I’m also closley consideri…

Excuse the dirt and fresh Squirt Lube. [20210525_230707]

Is the bash ring outer circle weaker or equal to the rigidity/strength of a chainring? Is it a tank or does it seem to be designed to be the thing that bends/breaks first? I bought a chainkeeper from them(I think it was them if I’m recalling correctly) that was built like a tank, which seemed stupi…

This EXACT same situation happened to me. NG Eco, the unit was brand new. Tab fell off while still indoors on the trainer. I ended up just gooping it on, was too frustrated to pay the steep replacement fee for something that is clearly a design flaw which they refuted countlessly. Terrible customer…

I heard back and they won’t replace it under warranty but will give me a crash replacement at about half the price. Sounds like they might do this quite a bit.

Thanks. I think I will put a bit of tape on it in the future for a bit of security.

Ditto, lost a cover on my very first ride. Now using Gorilla tape. Honestly a terrible design that could be much better.

Do you all know how you’re losing battery covers? Crashes? Jarring downhill? Jumps/ features? Just riding along?? I’m curious if I should be keeping a spare cover around. Can they be purchased separately or is it a customer service request? Wife and I both have p2m ngeco on our XC MTB.

I lost mine about 4-6 miles into a ride, likely from contact with bushes while riding a fresh cut trail. I didn’t notice until mile or so later, but am pretty sure it was those bushes. I ordered several replacements for $5 from a small vendor, and now tape to add security.
