Ride stronger, smarter, connected with the Vector 3 pedal-based power meter. It is easy to install and pairs seamlessly with Garmin devices and apps. It measures total power, cadence, left/right balance and advanced cycling dynamics to show how and where you are producing power. The sleek design provides greater cornering clearance and improved stack height for smarter ergonomics. With no pod, Vector 3 installs like any other pedal, very easy to transfer from bike to bike. The system offers a runtime of up to 120 hours with 2 x LR44 coin cell batteries per pedal. Improved Eco-System: BLE/ANT+ connectivity allowing for full integration into the Garmin ecosystem. Simple updates either through a paired edge/forerunner, or Garmin Connect Mobile. Can transmit power over BLE for indoor trainer applications such as ZWIFT when using with an iPad. Two versions of Vector 3 are available - dual sided system has 2 power pedals, and S version stands for single sided where measurement is calculated through one pedal and a second dummy pedal supplied. Weight: 316g. Stack Height 12.2 mm. https://www.youtube.com/0rD5IE8VZ0A

 This week we see a firmware update from Garmin for the Vector 3 pedals which addresses a number of really interesting side case issues that you may or may not have come across. So the Vector 3s have been out for around two years now, they had a very troubled start to life, especially here in the Llama lab. My original set have been replaced and since then, well, the return set sat on the shelf for a while because I had another set of power pedals I was using. Since then though I've done things such as updated the batteries for the single battery, more on that in a moment, and I've been testing them against other power meters and smart trainers

68 Beta I was using resolved all the issues I was encountering, but I also used 3.8 for this outdoor ride the other day. I'm just drilling down into the data here for a hill climb, no drops, everything looks pretty clean, that was with an Element Roam, no problems at all there, and the left right data looks pretty good. Cadence wise, that is, well it looks like a dog's breakfast but that's what happens with cadence data, so any of the steady state stuff, happy days, that's looking pretty good for me

 Standard Llama lab test with the Vector 3s up against another power meter. You can see here in my steady state efforts there, something's going strange there. I had a theory about what that might be, I replicated that at the end of the ride and I could make it occur again. So a quick email over to Garmin about this, they sent back the details of the beta firmware for the Vector 3 pedals which was 3

 Fix right sensor missing error appearing during a coast, you may have come across this if you're a Garmin user with the Garmin Vector 3's. And there's a number of other power issues and spike issues and things fixed there and also improved pedal wake-up detection, that's a good thing, and improved communication with Garmin Connect Mobile. That has been troublesome lately with iOS 13, but give it permissions, it should be good to go and even better with that fix installed. Jumping over to the Garmin forums where the true nerds hang out and we can see here a little bit more accurate information of how to get this firmware installed

Garmin Vector 3 Power Meter Firmware Update 3.80 // Lots of Fixes!

 I've called it problem avoidance today We go through my experience of my replacement Vector 3 Power Meter pedals Firstly a quick recap of the Garmin Vector 3 pedals if you're not familiar with these So they're the third generation power meter from Garmin. So everything should be sorted by now No external pods or external batteries required. Easy install and easy bike swap No torque wrench required just a 15mm wrench or spanner. We'll get them on

 That's that's happy. I'm okay with that and Then so this is the third hard sprint and then to the overs and unders We ignore the little wonkiness there. That's me sort of getting a bit sloppy on the pedals after a hard sprint Fine looking good after that So numbers wise they're looking pretty good and I put those offsets after the sprints down to just settling the pedals down because you Saw after the third sprint everything was happy days a quick wrap up of the maximums across all three llama lab tests here and all Power meters that I had on the bike. So the first llama lab test here was 1165 max 1163 1133 with the three power meters I had that's looking pretty damn good llama lab test number two Maximums 1096 versus 1106 so within 10 watts there of the two That's really really good and the final llama lab test 1177 versus 1162 So very very consistent numbers in the sprints for maximum power between the Neo and the Vector 3s That's pretty cool Okay, jumping over to the outside ride with the Vector 3s up against the stages left right as mentioned the right hand side of my Stages reads a little low so I expect the numbers from the stages to be just a little bit lower than the Vector 3s That would be consistent with what I'm seeing indoors across multiple tests and here we go Overall 195 versus 199 the Vector 3s being four watts higher there happy days

 It's been 12 months since I've ordered my Garmin Vector 3 Power Meter pedals I have the replacement pair. These have been sitting on the shelf for six months.

So everything should be sorted by now No external pods or external batteries required

 Well, it's all documented here on YouTube I've spent a week or more a while ago trying to get these things to work and I did a six month follow It just wasn't happy days at all So the first pair that I had were a little troublesome to say the least the power numbers that I had coming from them Were not in line or consistent with other known good power sources and I tested multiple power sources So I still wasn't happy with the numbers I was seeing from my original set of Vector 3s I then encountered the same issue as a number of other people with the battery doors Batteries moving around causing spikes and dropouts Garmin did supply a new set of battery doors, which solved that problem No spikes or dropouts, but I was still having some issues with the power readings I put out some known calibrated weights and did the static weight test on both pedals and that indicated Something was up with the pedals I wasn't getting the same reading from both sides so taking myself out of the picture Taking any other power meter out of the picture and just doing basic physics on the power meter pedals and they were different So Garmin took them back and supplied me with this new set So these replacement units have been sitting on the shelf for the last six months. I called it problem avoidance I've been using my Asioma Duos, the P1s. It's been happy days with those I tried to return those for a full refund But they wouldn't take them back because they are a return set from Garmin or a replacement set It got all too tricky So I kept them on the shelf. This week Ray has put out his DC Raymakers Power meter by his guy for 2018 and gave the Vector 3s a pretty good wrap because his experience has been pretty good I thought it was time to put these on the bike Take them out for a ride I'll take them in for a ride and get some data as well and see if my experience was any better with these replacement sets Look, I won't take you through the full unboxing and installation process It was the same as last time but do note these pedals are pretty stiff out of the box You can screw them onto the crank pretty much holding the pedal body and then just locking them down with a 15mm wrench The pairing process was a lot easier

Garmin Vector 3 Power Meter - Revisited // 12 Month Update

36v, respectively for the stock LR44s, with no spares included. I will be returning this item and going forward with a second set of a competitors pedals I have been using that cost $200 USD less per pair. I strongly suggest that you do NOT purchase these from Amazon unless they are being provided by 'Garmin' - go to your LBS and get a pair that you can confirm are new. There is no sense in dropping a $1000 on used pedals, and having to replace batteries in them immediately

Nice, but more of a Garmin add-on than general add on; also verify the source, LBS, provides as new.

80 of the firmware. Confirmed that the battery holder is the newer version, and still after less than two weeks of use I'm starting to see power drops during my rides. Attaching a screenshot of one of them where I got over 20 drops in less than 30 minutes.  I'm returning them and looking for alternatives

Finding the same issue as some reviews here. Pedals updated to version 3.80 of the firmware. Confirmed that the battery holder is the newer version, and still after less than two weeks of use I'm starting to see power drops during my rides

Connection drops out

 Still, the power drop outs/disconnects continue. It seems this is a design defect where the batteries still jiggle inside the pedal and causes power disconnects, especially from the right-to-left pedal Bluetooth bridge. You can solve this by permanently disabling the right pedal and use the left one on ANT+ only, but then you just paid $999 for a very heavy paperweight.  Garmin refused to give me a refund, even after the second pair of warranty pedals kept disconnecting

I've had two pairs of Garmin Vector 3 (left and right power meters). I've tried all the service bulletins, including adding baby oil to the battery contacts every time I change them ..

 You can solve this by permanently disabling the right pedal and use the left one on ANT+ only, but then you just paid $999 for a very heavy paperweight.  Garmin refused to give me a refund, even after the second pair of warranty pedals kept disconnecting.  I'd say no to recommending this.

Garmin Vector 3 Power Meter Pedals Review

Quarq's DZero platform has proven to be one of the most accurate and reliable power meters on the market, offering independent measurement of right and left side power with +/- 1. 5% accuracy. Recently, Quarq decided to upgrade the power meter chassis by integrating SRAM's DUB technology into the crank arms. The result is a stronger, stiffer, and lighter crankset that more efficiently transfers the effort from your legs into forward motion. But in order to actually measure power, you need this Quarq DZero DUB Power Meter Spider, which is designed to pair with the new DZero DUB crank arms. Once you have these two components, all you need is a set of chainrings and a DUB bottom bracket and you're ready to hit the road. Along with these hardware changes comes a new firmware that employs MagicZero auto-calibration technology. With MagicZero, the system automatically calibrates itself as you ride. You no longer need to backpedal to zero the power meter, and you no longer need to manually calibrate your head unit either. We see this as a welcome relief, as it simplifies the power meter's operation, allowing riders to shift more of their focus to riding and training. Additionally, all power meter related functions have been shifted to the SRAM AXS app. Not only does this give you full control of all AXS components on your bike, but it allows you to set the power meter's zero offset, check battery levels, run diagnostics, and perform firmware updates. The previous software used for this function, Qalvin BLE, has been discontinued. The DZero DUB Power Meter Spider uses a 5-bolt pattern and comes with your choice of a 130mm or 110mm BCD that's designed to fit 10- and 11-speed chainrings from most major brands. And like we mentioned above, it must be paired with the Quarq DZero DUB crank arm assembly. The assembly is sold separately, and comes with a set of carbon cranks arms in multiple length options, as well as the SRAM DUB spindle. You will also need to purchase a DU...

 It doesn't have Bluetooth compatibility, it doesn't have automatic calibration, it doesn't have user serviceable battery, so that's not really a 2017 option. But then you have the new power to max NG I think which is almost a thousand Euros just for the spider with no cranks. So that's again a lot worse in value with a lot more money for no real increase in performance, and you also have the rotor parameter the twin power with its strain gauges housed in the crank arms. But that's really I think around two or three hundred euros more expensive than the quark again with no real gain

 and if you look at some other power meters of the similar category I think you're always better off with a spider-based option because then, well, it houses the electronics better. It gives you more accurate readings in my opinion. we've got a more controlled way of strain there, whereas on crank arms it's usually a bit more complicated and things could go wrong. And then there are pedal based parameters which are not really where they should be at this day and age

 So complete power measurement is what's important. You want to have the repeatability and the precision in your total power numbers, then some other options pioneer that's quite an outdated system. also really expensive. What else? So these are pretty much all the competitors I can think of now and all that I have looked at because I could have bought any of these, but I decided to go for the quark for the new quark

Quarq DZero longterm review - the best power meter on the market?

 Previously I have been using a Stages parameter, and nowadays you can get one of those to fit these red carbon cranks, but the problem with that is the price, because you see this red D0 unit retails for 929€, which is quite a good price, it still seems a bit too much compared to the Stages, but then again Stages cost around 700€, and you have to get the cranks as well, and even if they come up to the same price in the end, you still only have a Stages, which is a left only meter, and it is nowhere near as good in terms of data as this Quarq unit. When you are upgrading your parameter or your bike, changing to a new bike, I think it is definitely something you should keep in mind. If you have Shimada cranks, then the Stages definitely is the easiest option, but maybe if you already have a bike and it came with Shimada cranks, you could just sell those and get a complete crank, and I think in the end you should come up a bit cheaper than with a separate Stages left arm. And again, this is a far superior unit in terms of, although maybe not accuracy, since I have been riding this, I have established that my left-right speed is 5949€, so the accuracy of the Stages in my case is pretty good, but still of course not as good as when you are measuring the complete power

 So I did this on both of my units, it worked out the first time, it was super easy, so not much of a problem there. This RAM support stuff was also quite quick to respond, so I resolved this issue quite quickly, and experienced zero problems since then.

Quarq DZero power meter long-term review

 Fast forward a few years and the Llama lab with testing, power meters, trainers, power accuracy and everything in between. I've been keen to get my hands on some of the newer units from Quark including the latest revision the Dub version with Magic Zero to see how it stacks up. In recent times I've been using the Favero Asio Meduo power meter pedals as a good baseline. They seem to provide good accurate numbers as has been echoed many times online by other users

 Over to the technical specifications of the unit that I've been riding which is the Quark D0 Dub power meter Spyder. This unit comes in either a 110 or a 130 BCD depending on the chainring size you choose. I'm riding the 130 edition. It has Dub crank compatibility from 165 through to 177

 That's looking good. And my final test is the out of the saddle heaving on the bars. Really putting pressure sideways on the power meter. We found some power meters like their pressure put straight up and down on the pedals but that's not really how we ride in all scenarios

 So 110 watts there for that single outside sprint. I need to do more sprints to know exactly what's going on there maybe with a few different pedal sets as well. Everything else there average cadence was within a few rpms you might get a few of those depending on the starts and stops but look overall as a whole with all the history that I have in 2019 testing other power meters that thing is brilliant. So my conclusion it just works and that's how it should be
