New Power Pedals Received from Italy

Posted in Training Reports

PREPARATION 2.2 TRAINING REPORT (06/16 – 06/22)

HIGHLIGHTS: I have been a loyal customer of Garmin cycling products over the years. My Vivosmart 5 smart watch is a Garmin product. My Edge 530 cycling computer and Varia RTL515 rearward radar are Garmin products. My Index S2 smart scale is a Garmin product. My Vector 3S power pedals are a Garmin product. I use the Garmin Connect application to record my training and overall health data.

When my left power pedal broke some months ago, I held off replacing it because of the cost. Garmin has replaced the Vector 3 with a new model, the Rally RS100, for $650. The only source of Vector 3 pedals is eBay, with used pedals costing $590. Both Craig, my bike fitter, and Tracey, my cycling coach, highly recommended I check out an Italian company, Favero Industries, offering an alternative, yet fully compatible, power pedal to Garmin’s, the Assioma Uno. Amazon was charging $490 for the Uno. However, by ordering directly from Favero, my cost was $404 with free shipping. It only took five days for my order to arrive from Italy via FedEx. I’ll install the new pedals next week.
