The THINKRIDER PP5 is a dual-sided power meter spider with Easton interface, available as standalone unit or bundled with carbon or aluminum cranksets. Users report prices ranging from $80-290 USD/EUR depending on configuration and sales. The carbon crank version weighs 486g and features a titanium DUB spindle, while aluminum versions have steel spindles. The power meter claims ±1% accuracy with 300-hour battery life and uses ANT+/Bluetooth connectivity. It requires the ThinkRider Tools app for firmware updates and calibration. Compatibility is limited to Easton interface cranks; it is not compatible with Riro Acrossfire, Senicx PR3, standard Red DUB, or CUES FC-U6030-2 cranksets without modifications. Firmware v1.9.1 has been released, but independent testing confirms residual torque drift issues persist after high-torque efforts, and the manufacturer acknowledges a hardware issue that may require a future product revision. Some users report a ~3 second power data delay when paired with iGPSPORT BSC200. Chainline issues and bolt length concerns have been noted with double chainring setups.
