Magene PES P515 Power Meter 4 Bolt 110BCD 24mm
PowermeterMy short experience with P515.
Sale via Ali from the EU shop went very well, delivery took 3-4 days more then expected. Crank looks very good, marginal heavier than the 105. Assembly was also no problem, I ordered it with the QED chainrings. Installation on my Lightcarbon LCR017 was not a big problem, I did however have to add a spacer on the drive side because otherwise there would have been play between the two arms. First 100k tour was also problem-free, recording in. Compared to the power meter pedals seems to be lower in the numbers, maybe still needs to be calibrated. What I also noticed is that the QED chainrings are louder than my 105 crank.
I hope this can help you a little.
Best regards.
RYET RT09
SaddleHmmmm. Maybe no that the tariffs have made the prices jump up. But the saddles I got for under $40 last August have been more than decent. Thinking about getting a couple more for some other bikes I have, but I don't really want to pay almost double. But when I think about it, even at $80, it's a bargain compared to some of boutique western branded saddles that are double that.
