Can’t imagine why you’d need to buy more than the spindle/pod. All the other spare parts are the same.

He wants the spindle without the sensor, that one oddball spare that is only available with a pedal body attached. But someone who did the Duo upgrade would have an spare blank lying around, that's why it's not a bad idea to ask around.

(and yet still Favero is the undisputed king of oddball spare availability, considering that they really have that legendary "Left pedal without sensor for Assioma" on order: in case someone is overcome by a sudden desire to convert an Assioma Uno into an Assioma Zero - I once mentioned it to a company representative in passing, and hevreplied that they are perfectly aware of the weirdness of that offering, but have it nonetheless for customers who might want to run uniform clip mechanism across multiple bikes, with some of the bikes sensorless)

I thnk the Quarq DFour is dual sided. It certainly gives me the same L/R measurements like my dual sided Pioneer. My single sided Stages (obviously) doesn't do that.

Have owned numerous pairs of Duos over the years. One of the best products in the cycling industry. Got some new ones today and, as I often do (but usually after a little riding), did a static weight test. In the past, I don't think they've ever been out by more than 1%, usually much less than that. These new pedals suggested a 1.7% correction on the left and a 4.1% on the right! We will see what Favero says.

You did a static test without riding? Did they measure the same after a ride / zero?

Are you performing the static test at 6 o'clock or 9? (not that it should matter with the Assioma).

Out of interest I'd be interested to know if those 1.7 and 4.1 % differences were the same if you installed them and performed the test on another bike. Or reinstalled them with an additional 1mm pedal washer. I have a theory behind this.. but need a lot more data to confirm it.

Anybody think going from Assioma Duos to a Quarq DFour is a downgrade? Currently running Assioma Duos and love them, literally no complaints. But I can get an amazing deal on a SRAM Red crank with Quarq DFour power meter. So with the cranks and getting lighter pedals, I can drop a good 150g or so.
