Tempo Power Meters - crank arm

I've seen lots of good info on various power meters here, but haven't seen anything about Tempo. They were mentioned in the Stages thread for maintenance/repairs, which is how I happened upon them. I think they arose out of a crowd funding campaign.

A left arm power meter would be more than adequate for my needs (several bikes). $250 is tempting.

4iiii looks interesting for a few reasons. Good reviews. I really like that they now have a way to integrate Apple Find My. Great tool in case a bike disappears on me. They won't install on Campy crank arms though. I have Shimano on 2 bikes, so I'd likely go with them on those.

Tempo will mount their meter on Campy crank arms, but I haven't found any reviews about their products. Anyone using them? Better to wait until Stages is back in business to see if they'll still mount to Campagnolo crank arms?

Honestly if I were you, I'd go with Favero Assioma pedals over any of those options. The UNO version can be found used for around 300. Super reliable, on the cheaper side, and very easily transferable between bikes. Win/win/win.

I'd suggest the same if you're on Campy - Favero Assioma is the way to go.

I’d have to get new shoes then too, lol. I’ve been riding speedplay for decades and even have 4-hole shoes nowadays.

Ask that question over at slow twitch
the owner is a triathlete so I’m sure he sells it to them.

In that case, there's the Wahoo single-sided Powerlink pedals.

I see the owner has been active on slowtwitch, replying to questions, so that's cool to see. Thanks for the heads up.

Yep, seen those. Then I'd be moving pedals around frequently. Maybe not such a big deal. I think the cleats are different from what I currently use too. I'll give 'em another look.
