Magene P505 PES Base Spider Powermeter

[SirBikealot]

I am also considering it for a G068 - please let me know if you think it will fit

that's why i ripped it of my road bike, just for the hope, that it would fit.

In case anyone was wondering, the spider that comes on the PES P505 will only fit the crankset it is supplied with. So says Magene when I emailed them. They will also sell the side lock ring (the one with rubber gasket) for 5 dollars + shipping from China.

Well I found this mad man on youtube https://www.youtube.com/shorts/BKQRqR7GiHY
That seem to have filed the large slot on the power meter down, so it will fit easton cranks eg. the lexon carbon cranks. This probably isn't 100% safe and may change power readings, but the interface is really close to an easton standard.

Hi all,

Want to chime in and report that I installed this unit on my bike and it works well as far as I can tell.

Why can't I post youtube links in here? I can only get a large blank space when including a yt url in my post :/

I really don't understand why magene is not doing Easton spider PM ?

Because they want to lock you in, to use their cranks going forward... That is the whole idea of doing proprietary things, so they only work with that vendor :/

Mate I am not talking about their cranset with PM but about separate spider based PM which they also sell. I use one on sram crankset

Added this to the first post:

If your device is an a loop or won't start/read anymore. Loading it and using a magnet above the flashing red light resets it!

Lifesaver if u think it's dead ;-)

Hi all,
lost my pre load screw for PES505 on a ride and cannot locate it,as a result left crank came away with my shoe.
reached out to magene and panda podium for an idea as to how i can get either an original PLS or a generic replacement.
shimano are too small and spin out,(dont grab).
any ideas folks?

I swear i am going to torque it right next time!!!


UPDATE
Would you believe it it ruddy FOUND IT!!!
went back to the scene of the NDS crank arm looking to leave the party and after 5mins scouting ,there she was.
Thread lock all the way !



thanks
John

I have a 36t deckas chainring on my CX rig. It's fine, it's the cheapest narrow-wide chainring I could find for 36t. No real complaints here!

same set up here,great job

[johnnyboy4711]

Price went down to 264€, today it's at 275€, while usually sitting around 300€... Bit surprising prior to 11.11., I'm hoping for a good deal

linky plz?

[johnnyboy4711]

Magene are now supplying with a new pre-load bolt that assumably fixes the issue. I saw this in their new instructions video.

I have the old pre-load bolt type, and it came loose multiple times. After applying threadlocker there's been zero issue 

I'd say go for it, can't beat it for the money.

can you link that video please?

Anyone know if you can slap the "new" 48/31 GRX820-2 chainrings on this bad boy? Might wanna try it for an upcoming gravel build. According to Shimano they also feature 110/80 BCD, 4 bolt chainrings - so should fit? Or is there any other nuance to it that I overlooked?
