Awesome, Thank you for the reply and Pictures it is super helpful, I have a pair of Asioma Duo SHI on the way, and I already have pair of M520 and a pair of Shimano CX3 Size 45, Ill post some pictures once I have everything setup.
these duo-shi units are as good and reliable as my garmin V3 pedals and Tacx neo trainer. they all pretty close. they all have their posi and neg… i got a good deal on the Duo but the prices look like they went up. but it’s hard to beat being able to switch out the pedal bodies so easily, whenever you want, and try diff types of shimano pedal bodies!
I have a 10 year old pair of m540s on my bike. If I order the duo shi, what tools do I need to remove the current spindles and install the duo shi? And you mentioned preferring the 520s, was that only due to their price?
No special tools needed, a pair of adjustable wrenches will do. I don’t know the specific size but I recall doing the swap in about 10 minutes or less. Just had to make sure I put the correct spindles on the left and right pedals.
I just did this a few weeks back and you’ll need 17mm and 19mm open end wrenches (or adjustable should work). I did it with M520 pedals and it took a few minutes tops.
MEH quality, dual spd & flat sided pedals. plastic black body.bearing aren’t bad, stiff but will loosen up. no idea how well these pedals will hold up, am just playing around with stupid cheap fun. i THINK rockbros have identical pedals.
Has anyone tried the conversion and is using Lake MX238 wide shoes? Does it work or does it require modification on my shoe (which I would like to avoid)?
Maybe I missed it up the thread, but did any of you measure the difference in q-factor (stance width) of the Assioma vs the original spindle? My big concern with doing this is increasing the q-factor even more (mountain bikes are already wider most road bikes).
