Has anybody had issues with flying with these in carry on luggage with security.
Nope, no issues at all. Iāve flown with them multiple times in my carryon and never had my bag flagged for extra searching because of them.
Flown with them in my carryon with no issue for years.
Only last time on an internal flight in Mexico, Security guard quickly opened my bag, took them out, look at me and told me āitās cycling stuff, right?ā and put it back in the bag
I personally ran into a issue with one where i was using the provided hex key and it bent the metal instead, I eventually was able to wedge it in place to get the pedal off but then i couldnāt install it again. I contacted their support and they said i wasnāt using the correct one (100% was as its a different color to my personal set) but they would replace it for the cost of shipping to italy. Its possible I did it up too tight at the time I suppose.
Looking at the other pedal as I bought the duo, it has similar damage to the hole but I am able to remove it and install it fine.
Customer support is amazing btw.
Itās an 8mm hex key; the torque required to secure the pedal is much lower than the point where damage occurs to the wrench or the hex hole. Sounds like either you used the wrong hex wrench, and/or applied way higher torque than needed, and/or tried to undo a pedal turning in the wrong direction, and/or did not fully insert the wrench into the pedal spindle.

Hi Kenzii,
i have had the Assioma Duo Favero pedals for about two years and I alternate them both on the road bike and on the time trial one. My personal advice is not to tighten them to the extreme! I limit myself to a tightening torque, lower than the one declared and Iāve never had any problems. Itās not your case, but finally, I remind you that, (looking the pedal from the inside, therefore looking at the hex bolt and its hole for the key), they screw towards the front wheel, and towards the rear wheel they unscrew;
this for both pedals. Finally, always a small layer of grease on the thread, this will allow a slightly lower tightening torque and a subsequent easier unscrewing.
I write it because, unfortunately, some have done damage trying to unscrew them by pressing in the opposite direction or for an excessive torque ! Isnāt necessary.
Cheers.
Corrado, Italy.

Anyone seen this issue before? Was using powermatch on a v1 wahoo kicker. 40 minutes into the ride I had cadence and power ādropoutsā. The cadence and power data didnāt drop to 0, but watts drop 15-30 and cadence from 90 to 80, then the watts would rebound as the kicker presumably tried to up the resistance.
Garage door was open, and it got dark during the ride, affecting the light levels in the garage. Maybe this messed with the kickers optical sensor?
Pedals connected to TR via ant, kicker via Bluetooth, and pedals simultaneously connected to Zwift via Bluetooth.
Link to ride, about 40 minutes in. Log In to TrainerRoad
Would increasing the Q factor using pedal washers mess with the accuracy of my assioma pedals substantially?
I donāt think so. Assioma also recommends washers to be sure the pods donāt touch the cranks

No, Favero even include 4 in the box to use if required.

I use the LOOK Keo Grip Road Cleats. No problems at all.

Was there a recent update with Garmin or Favero? I noticed today my duoās were pairing under a different name and opposed to just one connection, I now see two?
My head unit is a Garmin 530
Cheers
I have had dropouts, but only with Bluetooth. No dropouts with ANT.
Sounds like you are seeing the bluetooth connections rather than ant+ and that your pedals are not set to use a unified channel for bluetooth?
You might want to consider changing the setting to āunifiedā using the favero app to make it compatible with other apps (like TR) but i think your garmin will work in either unified or seperate channel mode.

Yes, that was it! I changed it in the app and will try again tomorrow.
Itās just odd because Iāve never messed with that setting and it suddenly changed.
Thanks again
Recently having issues with my Assiomas reading low. And itās not just me being weak. Compared to trainers and other power meters, the Assioma went from being spot on with my Kickr and Magene P505 to now reading anywhere from 5-7% lower. The firmware is updated and I confirmed the crank length. I did the calibration in app.
I first noticed it when I was testing out my new Sigeyi spider PM. I rode and recorded the Sigeyi and Assioma and noticed the Sigeyi was reading 2-3% higher. I didnāt think much of it and figured the Sigeyi was just reading high. So I put my Assiomas on my trainer bike and triple recorded the Assioma, Magene, and Kickr trainer. I looked over the comparisons I did a year ago and all three were within 1%, usually even better. Across 4-5 comparison rides they were always super close. On todayās ride the Magene and Kickr are still close, but now the Assiomas are reading way lower, sometimes 8% lower on some 15-minute sweetspot intervals. They were 15-20W lower than both the Magene and Kickr when a year ago they were spot on.
Any ideas?
Check the crank length setting on the head unit, not on the phone app.

Good thought. Will do.
Has anyone had trouble getting in contact (or staying in contact) with Favero recently? About a month ago I reached out to them because I started having trouble with my left pedal not working consistently. The customer service rep responded fairly quickly and continued to while my problem was diagnosed. Turns out my left spindle is dead and I need a new one so she moved me over to the Sales team.
I responded to their email saying basically āyes, send me an invoice, Iām ready to purchaseā but they never responded. I continued to follow up every 2-3 days for two weeks and never got a reply. I copied in the customer service email to see if that would help and still nothing. I finally reached back out to the customer service rep I originally talked to and asked if she could get someone to respond. Within a few hours the sales team responded to me, then I replied again with another question, and silence again for several days.
This is maddeningā¦these pedals were fantastic when they worked but now that theyāve stopped and Iām having so much trouble just getting them to take my money, it makes me want to switch. They were awfully pricey for something that didnāt even last three years.
