Favero ASSIOMA PRO MX-2, new SPD power meter pedals

When I had a road bike and a triathlon bike, I would just move my power pedals between bikes as needed. Get in the habit of triple checking that you have the pedals on the correct bike before taking a bike to the shop, etc. Not that I know this from experience…

Does anyone here take apart the pedals; to clean and regrease everything? I couldn’t find any advice in their user manual, curious what others do.
I have the pro-mx2

What do you mean by correct itself?

Regrease. I’ve got the original version with the pods and switch between road and SPD pedal bodies. The only thing in there are a few cartridge bearings. I do a very very light coating of grease on the spindle where the inner races of the bearings sit and on the outer race of the bearings. Note that the threads on the drive side spindle nut are left hand.

Favero Pro Mx2 were very easy to take apart and give a quick cleaning and apply fresh grease. 20 minutes total.
I live in an area that’s mostly dry and dusty year round or it’s a literal swamp (Florida). So it’s good to clean the nooks and crannies on the bikes a few times a year.

Any recommendations on where to buy these for folks in the US? We bought Duos straight from the company in late 2023 and got nailed for import fees after the fact. We need to buy two sets of pedals again and would really love to avoid that. Thanks.

I bought mine from lordgun a few weeks ago, didn’t have any import fees and received them very quickly!

Who billed you for import fees? I’ve bought multiple sets of pedals directly from Favero and never paid anything more than the price from their store.

One pair will come in w/o charge but two pairs on a single order exceed the $800 max to avoid it.

Interesting! I never know what I’m going to learn here. :smiley:

This assumes you’re shipping to US and that the $800 max “de minimis” is still in place for imports from countries which yet last year included Italy. With the tariff du jour and countries involved it’s been a bit more complicated and that may have or could change any day.

Since they charge per box shipped (not reduced for ordering two on a single order), placing two separate orders rather than a single gets you safely under the limit.

$798.84 as of this morning. Just under the limit! :+1:

Others have mentioned it already, but Power Meter City has great tech info and support. I’ve bought my most recent two PMs from them, and some chainrings.

Any word on an SPD-SL version?

Isn’t this why they offer the Duo-Shi spindles?

Yeah, but the new spindles on the MX don’t have that big sensor on the, and the Q factor isn’t so much wider than normal Shimano pedals.

Thanks Shane. For a second there I thought that was a new hack for the MX version.

Not in a mad rush so will sit tight and hope they release an SL version during the next year.

Assume you are just inquiring about a road version of the MX? I’m probably being pedantic but if Favero were to release one it will likely be a Look/Xpedo road cleat rather than shimano SPD-SL…

I thought the SPD-SL was out of patent, hence the duo-shi?

Hi Shane,

do You suspect any weight reduction of upcoming pedals, especally keo cleat compatible?

thx
