Well, they sell you the pedal spindle, so it's as difficult as replacement/maintenance of that part. I'm sure you've done it many times by the sound of it You just unscrew the center part of the pedal and screw the new one in. As easy as screwing


The difference in Q-factor between my trainer and my road bike is over 30mm and I can't tell the difference, Juha. There's no way anyone could feel a 10mm difference.

Spoiler: Spoiler

That's what she said!

I'm ok screwing, but there aren't normally spindles involved!

I'm the person who can't even change a tyre ... actually, I usually struggle to get the wheel off, and don't get me started about getting it back on again!

So in laymens terms ... they supply everything, and all I have to do is screw one bit off and another on?

Next question is ... where do I find this stuff - I've googled and I've confused

Maybe that’s why Assioma originally did Look compatible power pedals. Gplama have a video when he tested this Duo-Shi kit. I would link the video but i am at a work now and i am bit of butter finger with this phone.

I know a few people using the shimano version without issue. Or at least they have never said anything.
Fwiw when I had my first bike fit years ago I ended up with a 5mm axle extension on the right axle when using spd pedals. Removed when I moved to speedplay. I cannot say I noticed either change.

I guess we can say that Assioma would’t release that kit if it causes any issues. All what i said was read from the net, not knowing are those test/reviews any fact. Maybe they are words for warning just incase.

This is where I looked: https://cycling.favero.com/

That favero’s front page shows that their pedal’s are also tool free. It goes to thread’s itself without allen key

Ah, different to my pedals - I have SPD not SPD-SL .... my pedals aren't on the compatible list

I'm tempted to just buy the Garmin pre done ones, one sided about £500 ... definitely be nice to have power on my outdoor rides to see how I ride outdoors compared to indoors. Hoping I can get a lot more outdoor riding this summer as last year I lost pretty much the whole of the outdoor season due to the calf injury

I think there's a third-party kit for SPD. I would play around with that, but then again I build my own bikes and fix the car

 

[JuhaL]

I should have enough time to do indoor training sessions next 2-weeks. In a morning start 13-days layoff and after that couple days off and then back to work.

If it reassures anyone I'm not handy at all and found the spd-sl spindles easy to install and had no issues with the q factor

 

[CXRAndy]

What’s this Q factor measurement. Never heard of it?

oh no, just ask Bob
