Yes. Seems like I need a vpn. I am located in Norway, but the price is before VAT also.

I emailed Magene asking about Di2 compatibility (because I've read some concerning things about the clearance to the front derailleur) but they basically replied it's compatible but will be improved with new QED chainrings (but I think their response is more general, not Di2 specific). The email is obviously translated but my take is that there's some new chainrings that might be available on Magene.com right now but not on AliExpress yet.

Just something to consider for those who also will go for the Magene chainrings.

Did you go to checkout or just the basket? Vat is discounted on the last step before you klick the final buy button

Yes. When I go to checkout the VAT is added on top - so even higher price..

Pricing is based on delivery country. That's why I mentioned my price is for Germany. Might be different for other regions.
Slow on the climb. And everywhere else.

People happily using P505, could you please tell me, if it fits a 90.5 mm wide BB? And how much this powermeter returns back to bike's frame? I wonder if I could use P505 with my Spcycle G068 frame with t47 BB.

Probably not worth the risk, the power meter may rub against the frame. Magene officially states it's not compatible with T47 internal BBs

Where's the 90.5mm BB measurement from? The Spcycle G068 BB shell is 86.5mm wide.

I don't have specific experience with the Spcycle G068 frame, but I've successfully used my P505 Base PM crankset with both an Spcycle G056 frame and a VeloBuild VB-R-066 2023 Disc frame, without any spacers. Both frames used a T47 BB with internal bearings (86.5mm shell width). The clearance is slightly less on the G056 frame than it was on the VB frame.

I've measured with t47BB ofc, different BBs could be of different sizes, so it's only the final width with BB installed that matters.
Thank you for your reply, but could you please post a photo?

Being able to use the P505 Base PM crankset is more about the shape of the BB area on the drive side.

The shape of the frame itself is almost round, but I need info about P505 radius and how much in millimeters does it go back towards the frame.

So I ordered one as well, ready to send it back, if 11.11. will be even cheaper.

For the chainring I'm not sure if passquest or alugear is the better choice, someone compared them?

the lockring is 4mm in height and the labled part 13mm deep, so 9mm difference. and it is 53mm in diameter at the inside of the ramp and roughly 53 at the outside of the ramp.

Thank you very much!

I am also considering it for a G068 - please let me know if you think it will fit :)
