Questions & Answers
The RS100 is a pedal set that only has one pedal that measures power. The RS200 is a pair of pedals that measure power and provide Cycling Dynamics data. The RS200 is essential because it adds LEFT/RIGHT BALANCE, SEATED VS. STANDING, POWER PHASE, OFFSET PLATFORM CENTER The Rally's spindle is compatible with Shimano SL, SPD, and Look bodies, so you can swap to a SPD pedal from Shimano SL with a pedal body kit from Garmin, for example. If you decide later that you want two pedals to measure power for Cycling Dynamics, you can get an upgrade power pedal, effectively turning your RS100 into an RS200 kit. The most important thing is to look at the Garmin Cycling Dynamics and additional metrics to see if it's worth it to you. Have a good time on the rides and in your training.
No, any standard Looks cleats will suffice.

RS100 Each ride, my FTS increased, and I thought to myself, "Wow, I'm getting better. " The final one is the most difficult. I was caught off guard by the sudden increase in weight from 180 to over 230 pounds. this. is wrong. As a result, I believe that a calibration will be required before each ride from now on (which is why I can't give this a 5-star rating). br>br>I was curious if this was a bug or if the error was caused by my smart trainer, which I had been using up until this point (note that I've never experienced such rapid power gains on my trainer as I have on the pedals). So I connected them both and ran the calibration sequence for both. It was a spin down for the trainer, and it was a feat removal and zero for the cleats. The only thing I didn't do on the trainer was to use it for 10 minutes before calibrating it, as zwift suggested. But it wasn't the trainer that made me suspicious; it was the Garmin RS-100. Since that's what was undergoing the change, we'll call it 100. br>br>To cut a long story short, the overlay is visible. There was a 9% difference there was about a 9% difference there was about% If my memory serves me correctly, the RS100 has a 1. 0% accuracy and the directo elite a ± 1 5%. MAYBE the difference is due to the fact that I am only using one foot to monitor power while the trainer is using both feet. However. I believe there would also be a loss of efficiency in the drive train to account for, which would help the pedals show more power. Maybe. My power output is asymmetrical, with one leg being significantly weaker than the other. br>br>I expect the accuracy to improve with the RS200 because the pull on one pedal aids the power output as the other pushes, but until then, I'll give it a 3 out of 5 rating. These pedals are not inexpensive. When you pay a lot of money, you have a lot of expectations. Power drifts should not occur less than a month after purchase, causing me to doubt accuracy.
Is it true that the Rally pedals are ready to use right out of the box? That is, the one on the far left. "Right pedal not found," said my new Edge 830 after my first ride with the new pedals. " After the ride, there was no data from the right pedal in Garmin Connect, and I had an error message saying "Unable to calibrate" before I started. It's a real drag.
After six months, everything seems to be going well. I've abused it with MTN biking, and the performance and accuracy have remained consistent with the other power meters I've used on other bikes.
I'm used to using powermeters on my trainer, so these are new to me. . . tons of data (some of which I don't understand yet, but I'm learning). . . not the cheapest powermeters you'll find, but I can move these from bike to bike. . . super easy to use even if multiple bikes have different crank arm lengths. . . and, just to let you know, they're holding up to my 220lb ass no problem! I'd buy it again if I had the opportunity.
Work as it should. Just remember to order an ANT stick with it, as it'll be required to connect the pedals to your preferred device.
Works flawlessly, instantly connects to Garmin, and provides valuable information.
I use a Garmin computer, and the setup and pairing were simple and straightforward.
Unlike many other power meters in this price range, they do not auto correct for temperature or auto zero. You'll need to make sure that the pedal is 100000% at the ambient temperature that you'll be riding in before you calibrate and that the temperature doesn change much during your% If the temperature changes or if the calibration isn't done correctly. It's not difficult to spot errors in the 15-minute cycle if the pedal wasn't fully soaked to the proper temperature. 20% of the range Invest in something else or save your money.
