[robertofrr]

About Shimano cranks with power meter (Ultegra or 105) there are similar brand and models:

XCADEY X-POWER on Aliexpress
https://it.aliexpress.com/item/32999218701.html

XCADEY eu site from Slovacchia
https://xcadey.eu/shimano-105-slx-xpower-l-with-crank

INPEAK POWERCRANK from Poland
https://www.inpeak.pl/en/sklep/powercrank-ready-twin2-shimano-ultegra-fc-r8100/

Are the same components but with differents brand?
If yes, I will choose the cheapest price... or not?

I'm from Italy, probably is better to buy in EU to have the assistant in case of malfunction...
Opinions?

I like also Magene

Thanks

There are minimal differences for the crank itself. 105 5800 is not gonna be too much worse than R8100. I'd recommend watching GPLama tests before buying but afaik all of these brands make good crank PMs
I would recommend looking at american brands too, 4iiii and stages. They're almost as cheap really.

I have 2 105 powermeter cranks that I bought from bike24, 202€ and 178€ respectively. They go on sale quite often

I have 4iii left sided PM and favero assioma duos, they read very similar.

I am using a 105 left crank power meter. Had some issues with the pwoermeter housing touching my frame slightly.
After some sand paper action this was resolved and the power meter worked well. The only thing that bothered me was that I had to manually re-connect the sensor before every ride on my Garmin 830 head unit.

I've been running an X-CADEY since summer 2022 after doing lots of research (too much). I had to adjust the software a little to get accurate readings (which was easy). Since I set it up I have had no problems at all and it communicates well with my Wahoo Bolt pushing to TrainerRoad. I did have a day when it mysteriously didn't work... and then I realized I had not charged it for 4 months
