Magene P515 PES Spider Powermeter

[Craicy]

Does anyone know of stores that ship to EU that won't get me hit with surprise taxes/tolls on Magene TEO? I'm seeing some on Lordgun but they're out of 165. Did anyone order from PandaPodium or Gambacicli?

I ordered from https://de.magene.com and there were no extra charges and shipping was quick.

Looks very much like a Magene sticker. Any info on whether it’s a rebranded TEO or a different crank all together?

same here, the creaking is crazy. I already replaced the chainring-Screws, cleaned everything and greased it. No changes.
I am pretty sure it is because of the size difference between the mount and the spider.
and imo the creaking comes either from
lockring and spider is "rubbing" or
spider and mount is "rubbing".
tried 2 different type of grease already.
I would say it is a little quieter than before, but tbh i'm slowly going crazy.
So it could be imagination.

btw: Geoid PM500 seems to have the same issue.

Lmao. I am just coming to terms with this and realizing the crazy, crazy creaking I have is likely my Magene P515 crank. It was just a little creak last 2 weeks, but this weekend it was INSANE. I was avoiding taking it apart because I was nervous about running into an issue putting it back together. I am probably going to do it in the next couple of days.

But, also, I have a Geoid PM500 I just installed on another bike that I haven't finished. Oh boy. Creak city there, too?!

Yup, same here on the pm500. interfaces and screws all greased, torqued exactly to spec, shimano chainrings. more of a click than a squeak but annoying. not sure where to go next

Creaking is coming from the spider to the crank attachment. Regreasing may work but it's a longshot ditched 3 powermeters because of this reason.

after the problem I had (previous page) I reassembled everything but I didn't tighten the 6mm nut as per the manual and now I have crazy creaking noises

Hi everyone,
Does anyone know where I can get replacement rubber rings for the crankbolt?

Thanks

You’ve ran out of the ones that were provided? Afaik there were 3 in the box.

I guess you can just buy a rubber o-ring in the correct size, should work.

I am running the P515 with Alugear Chainrings with the Alugear nuts to attach and I do not have any problems with noise.

I'm still on firmware 0.114 (i'm always afraid to update this things because of bricking the devices)
Can someone please confirm if with 0.119 (or 0.118) the avatar on Zwift starts to move on the same instant we apply power on the cranks? I'm on 0.114 and the avatar only starts moving after 3 seconds and also if i suddenly stop pedalling to 0 rpm it does stickywatts for about 2 to 3 secs. This is very anoying. Thanks in advance.

I got the same creaking/clicking issues others have had after a few thousand kms and cleaning/regreasing only buys me an hour or two of silence before it comes back. Luckily Magene is already sending me a replacement of the entire power meter minus the left crank arm under warranty.
Also from my messaging of them, it sounds like Magene thinks the source of the noise is the interface between the crank arm and the spider, not the lockring which others have suggested.

So, is this something that Magene is going to fix?  I'll be in the market for one of these types of power meters, so I'm trying to decide between Geoid, Magene, etc.

My creaking fix…

I was going mad with this persistent click over 250wat it was impacting my experience and joy riding.

I disassembled the power meter spider, removed lock ring and cleaned all the surfaces nicely I applied a liberal amount of grease on the spider both front face and rear, made sure to also apply lots of lube around where the metals mate including the teeth of the spider and crank then I added locktite and torqued it down lube oozed from front and back of the spider, really made sure to torque it to max.

First ride after…. Oh my god the bliss, no clicking and creaking I nearly cried with happiness haha…


I’ll report back in a few weeks once I’ve got about 500kms done . Hopefully it stays silent ……

They ended up agreeing to replace it under warranty relatively quickly which is a good sign.  I also got it quieter (for now) by cleaning and greasing the crank/spider interface not the lockring itself.

I have also got this creaking noise and its getting more often. Before it used to creak only when out of the saddle but now it starts creaking at 300+ watts. My mechanic has checked everything and it is at torque spec. Is there any solution or should i go warranty?
