Has anyone found an alternative spider for their 5-bolt interface, or can someone confirm that the interface is compatible with SRAM 3-bolt? Looking through the thread plenty of people stated that it might be, but I could not find anyone confirming it.

Another new one I have seen for the first time. See link
Hope the link works

Coospo s10

I think this one is interesting. Apart from the temperature range the specs are extremely similar to the Thinkrider PP5.
Personally, I have been extremely satisfied with the (data) quality of my Coospo H9Z. It has been way better than a Polar H10 I once had and any other HRM I have had.
In Coospo’s comparison against the Favero pedals it looks like they did some sort of sprint/acceleration with a decent result. In contrast to this is the data example from the Thinkrider PP5 page. That one is done pretty much as a steady state effort and that shouldn’t be that much of a challenge to get right.
Okay, Coospo does not show any values for axis, and there most certainly is no guarantee that the data is true. I think the recent GPLama reviews have shown us that most manufacturers own data and testing cannot be trusted.

Lastly, here you have some data from my a bit tougher workout, VO2Max 30 Second  15 Second Microburst Interval Blocks. I can provide all for you in email, if you want.

In the shown dataset the deviation seems fairly consistent across samples. Based on this it looks as if setting the power scaling for the Xcadey to about 0.94 and the Xcadey should be extremely close to the other sources. If this offset is consistent across rides then this is a 'solution' I can live with.
The problem with my Xcadey unit is that this scaling factor is way too inconsistent acroos a ride and different rides. Sometimes +1% other times -3% even within the same ride. This is in my opinion this is far from the advertisied specs and not acceptable. I will however say that my Xcadey unit has gotten less bad as I have used it more. It has now come to the point where I based on the zero offset value displayed on my head unit can tell that the Xcadey will show lower power values for this ride.

The front chainring position hypothesis is in line with my experiences. I am inclined to say that chainline also plays a role. My deviations become larger when I am in the small chainring in front and a large sprocket in the back. This could perhaps indicate that the power meter interface is not stiff enough.
Attached is part of a triple recording on Zwift with my Kickr V5, Favero Assioma Duo and Xcadey Xpower S. In the large chainring the deviation is close to acceptable (This until about 5540 seconds). Then as I change to the small chainring and a low gear in the back for the Radio Tower KOM the Xcadey goes from reading about 1% lower to 4% lower. A calibration at the top in the big chainring and the Xcadey is back to constantly being 1-2% lower. This pattern has repeated itself every time I have done the Radio Tower KOM and that at a low power output of about 300W.
