Magene P505 PES Base Spider Powermeter

The combo is significantly cheaper than buying separate.
I don’t know. I don’t really like the looks of the PES, and the weight is also a bit high. But thinking about spending 5-700USD for a decent looking combo that’s ideally 24mmdoes not make that much sense.

You can get a carbon Riro crank (24mm old version) for about 100 and the PM for 230. I don't see why you would get a PM you can only use on 1 crank.

Ah you are right.
After the VAT discounts one is close to that. Maybe even better when they replenish the discount codes.
Anyways. I already own the PES. And on another bike the CS325.
Both BB86 bikes, so can’t go for SRAM…

I installed the PES P505 Powermeter cranks today on my new Velobuild and took them for a first test ride on the trainer. First of all i gotta say they work flawless with the 105 Di2 derailleur.
I did a ramp test on zwift so i could compare the powermeter numbers with the numbers from the smart trainer and they were spot on. I really hope i won't get any issues with the crank coming loose as i heard about that a lot but apart from that i am really happy so far. I paid 269 us dollar on aliexpress (including chainrings) with some discount but had to pay 55€ import taxes + handling fee when they arrived at my door in germany. I think on some occasions you can get them for a little cheaper.

Anyone tried removing the graphics from the crankarm? Possibly acetone ?

Would be really cool for a cleaner look but i am too scared to also damage the black paint underneath.

Try it on the back. Maybe on a spot that is hidden behind the PM.

Anyone hooked this up to a 46t riro carbon chainring? Not sure how to install as there no mounting holes in the chainring, will it be compatible? Thanks
