They don't mention if it's compatible with BB86. Has anyone tested it?

I think it's compatible, cause it's a 24mm spindle linke the p515 https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005005506880823.html

I was wondering about the axle length and if it's too long for the 86mm bottom bracket.

I was wondering about the axle length and if it's too long for the 86mm bottom bracket.

I have it installed at the moment on a T47 86.6mm BB with the D24mm.
I put like 1 or 1,5mm spacer on the none drive side. Just because it was not in the middle and I measured it from the arms to the middle of the frame.

I ordered the 172.5mm for €122 to install it on my CUES. I will measure and weight everything once it arrives and I will report back. Hope it fits.

Seller seems to have it out of stock now

Is it compatible with CUES 50/34 (FC-U6030-2)? Can it be paired with iGPSPORT BSC200?

I am using this power meter PP5 paired with BSC200, working well but the power meter is like 3 secs delayed.

Another datapoint: The PP5 seems not compatible with Easton EC90 cranks. The inner part of the housing touches the crank arm, so that the powermeter cannot sit flush on the cinch interface.

Does anybody know if it's okay to put some spacers in between the spider/powermeter and the crank? Somethin like 1,5 mm should fix the problem. If yes, does somebody have a product link for dedicated spacers? However, I'm a bit sceptical since the interface itself isn't that much more than those 1,5 mm...

PP5 now is only perfectly compatible with its own crank or CENIT crank, because they share same mold. Also you could buy a spacer from THINKRIDER, now I bought PP5 and crankset, they give a spacer like, if you want to buy it costs around 4USD.

Actually the crank needs to be lower than the powermeter, otherwise you need the spacer to make it lower.

I  received the powermeter but it's not compatible with CUES FC-U6030-2. The big chainring is 110BCD but the small is not.
I ordered two cheap chainrings (BUCKLOS 50/34) which seems compatible. A photo review already shows it installed with the PP5.
The seller forgot to ship it with the 4 bolts and I had to order them separately and wait more. I ordered bolts for double chainring.

I noticed that when I install the bolts with the powermeter, the bolts extend about ~1mm. It doesn's become flat with the big chainring. Is this gonna be ok? Should I get bigger bolts for triple chainring and cut them to make them compatible with the double chainring + power meter?

Not sure about the 2x chainrings, but it seems you put the powermeter upside down?

No, I'm pretty sure I installed it correctly. The first photo shows only the small chainring. The second photo shows both of them with the sensor sandwiched in between them.
The app shows me there is a firmware update available. I have 1.8.6 installed and 191 is available.  Should I do it?

yes, first time this PM shows halfway believable numbers for me

Got it, sorry for misunderstanding, you should upgrade, this is not like the iOS, I upgrade the SRAM firmware or powermeter firmware all the time, if they update it means they really fix something, haha.
