Review: PowerTap P1 Pedals

[intern]

Excellent to see some more compo for Garmin Vector etc and a slightly different take on tapping power at the pedal.

An aside, those things immediately reminded me of the very first set of clipless pedals I ever owned - Look PP 56. Those were my pride and joy back in the day.

Can anybody confirm alternative cleat compatibility.?

Or whether the P1 cleats are indeed compatible with other pedals.?

 

Also, those who recommended these pedals highly to start, do you still.?

Anybody.?

Anybody.?

I doubt it man. There must be a reason why they give you cleats as part of the purchase.

Some comments suggest "reasonable" compatibility with Look Keo.

Was wondering if anybody had experience and could confirm.?

@Thomo

the do work with the Look Keo Pedals.

but the cleating is not as positive as the original powertap pedals. i would not recommend this.

go buy the zero float powertap cleats, they are black, not red. i found them to secure far better than the red.

nb the zero float thing might not be everyones cup of tea though

 

as for the pedals. i still very very much rave about them. 

so simple and easy to use. can move them from bike to bike without ever worrying.

the app makes updating them easy to. just nb the IOS is easier to work with than android app.

Thanks Furbz.

I was thinking of multiple bike owners who don't necessarily want to transfer the pedals, or want dedicated shoes/cleats per bike.

But seems this isn't an obstacle easily overcome.
