Review: Favero Assioma Duo Shi power meter

Posted by Trevor Barrett on

This is a great review by velo.outsideonline.com providing a balanced review of the Favero Assioma Duo Shi power meter which we stock.

The reliability of these power meter pedals is excellent, and the ease of swapping between bikes makes them an great choice for those with more than a single road bike.

For years, those who wanted power meter pedals had few options other than using Look Keo cleat compatible pedals. Italian manufacturer Favero debuted the Assioma Duo Shi (dual-sided Shimano) power meter some four years after the debut of its Look-compatible version, in 2017.

You don’t want to surprise them.

"Works perfectly straight out of the box. Very good value."

"Setting this up was very straightforward. The Bryton app is not the most polished, but everything works fine. The Strava integration works exceedingly well with almost instantaneous uploads. All I wanted is a GPS cycling computer with no need for navigation, and the Bryton Rider 15 works perfectly."

Posted by Trevor Barrett on

Tailwind Nutrition is now 10 years young. In the past decade, they have pounded a constant drumbeat that their mixes are all you need for extended activity. I always have one bottle of water and one bottle of drink mix on every ride, so I’ve been riding with Mandarin and Tropical (caffeinated) mixes with great results this summer.

Tailwind Nutrition Endurance Fuel Mix Details:
