IMTOS universal carbon thru axle

[wanted100]

Axles have been tested, also the bottle cages. I'm very pleased and satisfied. For now I can fully recommend the product. All is fine, without any slack, after longer 400w intervals, after sprint, even over 1200w no issues. I know, garmin and compare the watts shows some different values.

the problem is above 1000w..

Why?

[Mariuszuzd]

Why, I did some sprints, 20s X 8, all were above 1000 watts, no issues. Have you tested it or you just make a statement ? I basically added a screen from my workout.

I don't like the business model where companies create a "universal kit" that has lots of extra parts that you will never use, and the various piece parts end up taking up space in a drawer somewhere.  The consumer ends up having to pay for all the adapters plus the baked in profit selling extra parts you don't need.
Come on!  Supplying a 1/4" drive ratchet wrench?   Who doesn't have one already?  I have at least 4, 1/4 drive ratchet drives.  (The extra long Torx is cool, but one would use it twice then it would sit in the tool box for the next 10 years not being used.

IMTOS appears to not want to create a fit chart for all the configurations and sell their product per a specific length and thread pattern.

Not for me.  Too expensive for not enough weight reduction.  $/gram savings = no go for me

Not enough weight reduction 🤣
They are like 24g a set. How light do they need to be at that price then?
Most lightweight Thru Axles on the market are in the $200usd territory and around a similar weight.

My perspective is $/gram for weight savings.   
Purchasing this set of thru axles costs $220.   I weighed a pair of my average thru axles =90 grams.  Weight savings is 66 grams
Cost per gram versus my existing thru axles is $3.33 per gram savings.

I recently spent $550 US dollars on my upgrading my bikepacking camping gear.  I was able to reduce my camping gear weight by 1456 grams.   This works out to $.038 per gram.  Much better way to reduce weight than a set of expensive ultralight thru axles.

For years, my cost/gram saving threshold was around $1.00 per gram.   As stated before. Not enough bang for the buck savings!  $/gram savings = no go for me.  There are numerous other more cost effective ways for most riders to remove 66 grams from their bike. Very low level priority of weight reduction

Why?

i am talking about the power meter..

[Mariuszuzd]

regarding the power meter, it's funny. I did very detailed comparison, it's here on the forum. Now I'm repeating that to have all the data outdoor. I basically provided data for sprints, all above 1100w, some even more than 1200w, 8 of them. All were almost identical as Favero Assioma Duo. I added again the screenshot, I can provide the fit file.

Even high powered sprints don't put same stress on the components as heavy braking or hitting unexpected potholes.

I live in Poland, believe me, not main roads are not a carpet the asphalt many times is rather the last possible category, especially after the harsh winter. But, give them some time, for now those are handling very good.

I might return mine lol. The thread is too loose for the riding type I do (racing and lots of climbing).

how to loose? did you put the right thread pitch that you used before?

[Mariuszuzd]
