Bolts and nuts are included.
The chainring looks like a cheap one from AliExpress, I would go for a known brand either local or on AliExpress

Does anyone know how to reset the P515? I don't mean the zero calibration...
Mine is measuring 10-15% more than my smart trainer and the Assioma pedals and a full reset is my last hope...

Just wanted to let the group know that I successfully installed a bikingreen 46/30 chainring (only available on ebay afaik) on this powermeter. Perfect long gran fondo climbing performance without any drawbacks unless you like to go above 80km/h downhill.

Does anyone know if the TEO carbon cranks and spindle are compatible with the P505 base power meter? Magene has a listing for just the cranks on their website, but no note as to if they're an upgrade path for us with the older base power meter

I asked about it on instagram and Magene responded YES. Where did you saw listing for cranks only?

I don't have the P515 but if it's anything like the other Magene power meters you can do a soft reset by plugging in the magnetic charging cable and then holding up another magnet to the status LED. The LED should blink a couple of times to indicate that it worked. I use a fridge magnet to do this but any decently strong magnet should also work.

I don't know if this will fix your issue but this tends to work for me when my power meter becomes unresponsive or starts reporting strange values.

Great to hear! Then I'll definitely be buying the cranks when they're in stock and post a quick review. I've been wanting to drop to 165mm anyways

I have both the new P515 and the TEO carbon version.

Been testing the P515 for a couple of weeks now. Gonna finish filming this weekend and compare data against my smart trainer.

Yo Pat, I know xciting! could you also shed some light on by when they’ll be available? DCRainmaker already informed that Magene will largely withdraw from the intl markets, except for a his product among the new ones. Also, fyi, when asking Magene about availability, I didn’t get a clear answer at all.

Pretty sure that's only in relation to trainers, not the rest of their product portfolio.

I'd appreciate it if you could include some info on when the TEO version will be stocked on their website :)

Anyone ever use the P515 PES (or P505 PES) on a fixed gear bike?

My concern is in how it reads/records the backpedal data, ie: using your legs to slow down or control speed instead of a brake. And also if the repeated backpedal force and/or skidding would damage the electronics or even the interface between the spider and crank.

I have a fixed gear conversion bike that I haven't ridden in quite a while, and was thinking it would be nice to have power training date on that bike if I chose to ride it again.

I also use my road bike (with a P505 PES) on a dumb trainer to ride virtually in myWhoosh and thought I could use the fixed gear bike in that capacity as well.

I'm very satisfied with my P515. I installed it on a Triban RC520. I'm using my 50/34T R7000 chainring on it, but I just received a 46/30T BikinGreen chainring that I'll install next week. I don't have a comparison point on that bike, but I have a powermeter on my Radon e-MTB and values seem consistent, though I forget to calibrate the Magene before every ride... At my very low level, I don't need anything more than that Magene P515. The first initialization is a little bit touchy with the app, connection took forever and I believed for a moment that I had to return it.

I detected one flaw : when the Magene is bluetooth connected to my Coros Pace 2 and my Wahoo Bolt v2, I had short disconnections all the time. But pairing it with the Coros with Ant+ solved the issue totally.
