Evening Hubbers...

I'm close to pull the trigger as a "from me...to me..." on these.

Good reviews out there (DC Rainmaker, etc), but looking for longer term input.  It also seems the one sided option is good enough.  The data from dual side, is interesting, but not really useful in a practical sense.

Let the comments roll in!!!

PS, will use this paired to a Forerunner 735XT.....perhaps an Epix Gen2 later.

I have been using my Rally XC pedals ons my Gravel en MTB for the past two years. I think they are great and work great. The one thing that sets them apart for me is the fact that you cam swap them between bikes. Ive even used them on my road bike. They really are great pedals. Works exremely well and are really durable.

I bought a set of Garmin pedals.

Have used them for about a month and then realised that I will be spending around R1200-R1500 per year on batteries.

Hence my decision to ditch them and go the Assioma route.  

I assume you used your Garmin's for 100% of your training/races rides? so did you get less than the 120 hrs?

I'm confused, they were only released last year? DC Rainmaker's review was March '21, but thx for the feedback 🙂

I got 104 hours and 49 minutes.
An average of 50 hours training per month.  Batteries replace every 2 Months.
R85 per battery.  Two batteries for two pedals

R1020 for betteries and and a one time delivery fee from supplier of R200.
(CR1/3N cannot be found "off the shelf")

I got mine from Communica in Johannesburg.

Not a big mission really.  Order online and they deliver.

If I remember correctly, you can "stack" two LR44 batteries (available at Dischem at around R30-R40 a battery-need 4) if you want but various reviews I read said it was not ideal.

In general, the pedals are good.  Loved the look.  I could get my old Cannondale Spider rings back on the bike again and the pedals gave pretty cool funky data (not that I used any of it, hahahhaha)

But where my accountant head got stuck was 600 hours of training gave me an expense of R1200 excluding service and bearings.
Compared to my Power2Max spider that gave me 600 hours of training for R32. (150 hours at R8 per battery bulk buy chinese) with no service fee or bearing replacement etc.

I guess each product has their pros and cons and you just have to figure out what works for you and what you want out of it.

I'm planning to buy the single sided version - see no reason for dual system, apart from having more data that I don't need.
