Pioneer Powermeter Question
Has anyone tried th Pioneer powermeter where you send your crank arm into them and they install it and send it back? For single leg version it’s only $499. It seems like a better way to go than Stages where I’d have an unused crank arm lying around. Thoughts?

Pretty much everyone I know with Pioneer has been happy with it and lots of people around me have it. Stages will also install on your current crank.

Thanks. I hadn’t heard that about Stages. I’ll check that out as well.

Another option to consider is the Favero Assioma pedal based system. It gets great reviews...recommended highly on dcrainmaker.com. It got better reviews than the Garmin Vector 3. Single sided for only $414 on clevertraining.com. Dual pedal system is somewhere in the $600 range. I’ve had this system for a few weeks and have zero complaints so far. I love how easy it is to move from bike to bike.
https://www.clevertraining.com/assio...ng-power-meter I think the site is running a 10% off deal right now..not sure if that is site wide or for selected items. |

I had them install one on a non-drive side dura ace crank. The process was easy and the power meter has been trouble-free. That was my second pioneer power meter and they both were great.
The latest generation of pioneer meters is nicer than the one I have; Bluetooth support, etc. |

Do you know if they can attach to carbon cranks? EDIT: Never mind. Apparently only works with Potenza Campy. All my stuff is Chorus. Too bad. Last edited by makoti; 05-20-2019 at 08:16 AM. |

+1 for the Assioma pedals, been riding them for a few months now. Incredibly easy setup and long battery life.

just sell the left over crank arm on ebay. it's just a clean and glue on process so it's cheaper to do that with new arms in quantity than actually send in your piece and do it individually.

There are certainly pros and cons either way but for me personally, if looking at an economical power meter (especially if you’re focused on left-only as a means to save money), I’d chose an Assioma or Garmin Vector 3 (in that order) over a crank arm solution any day of the week. |
