How to Swap Favero Assioma Pedals Between Bikes

One of the biggest advantages of pedal-based power meters is flexibility—and Favero Electronics designed the Favero Assioma series exactly for this purpose. Whether you’re switching between a road bike and a trainer bike, or sharing pedals across multiple setups, Assioma pedals make bike-to-bike swaps fast and reliable—if done correctly.
This guide walks you through a safe, efficient, and repeatable method to swap Favero Assioma pedals without damaging threads, affecting accuracy, or wasting ride time.

Why Proper Pedal Swapping Matters

Power meter pedals are precision instruments. Incorrect installation can lead to inaccurate readings, creaking noises, or—worse—damaged crank threads. The good news is that Assioma pedals are built for frequent removal, making them ideal for multi-bike riders.
Doing it right ensures:

• Accurate power data on every bike
• No crank or pedal thread damage
• Longer pedal lifespan

What You’ll Need Before You Start

Swapping Assioma pedals doesn’t require a full toolbox. You only need a 15 mm pedal wrench or 8 mm hex key (depending on crank type) and a small amount of grease for the threads. Having a clean cloth nearby also helps remove dirt or old grease.
No recalibration tools or special adapters are required.

Step-by-Step: How to Remove Assioma Pedals Safely

Start by shifting your bike into a stable position—either on a trainer or leaning securely against a wall.
Remember the rule:

• Left pedal loosens clockwise
• Right pedal loosens counterclockwise

Use steady pressure rather than sudden force. Once loosened, unscrew by hand and wipe the pedal threads clean. Avoid placing pedals directly on rough ground to protect the electronics.

Installing Assioma Pedals on the Second Bike

Before installing, apply a thin layer of grease to the pedal threads. This prevents seizing and makes future removal easier.
Thread the pedals by hand first to avoid cross-threading. Once hand-tight, use your wrench or hex key to secure them firmly. Favero recommends tightening to standard pedal torque (around 35–40 Nm), but a snug, firm fit is sufficient if you don’t have a torque wrench.

Zero Offset Calibration: Do You Need It Every Time?

One of the advantages of Favero Assioma pedals is stability. A manual zero offset isn’t required every time you swap bikes, but it is good practice—especially if there’s a temperature change.

Simply:

1. Clip out
2. Keep the bike upright
3. Perform a zero offset via your head unit or app

It takes seconds and ensures consistent data.

Battery Check Before Your Ride

Assioma pedals are rechargeable, so before your ride, quickly check battery levels using your head unit or the Favero app. Swapping bikes doesn’t affect charging or battery health, but it’s easy to forget if one bike is used less often.
A full charge typically lasts 50+ hours, making frequent swaps very practical.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Avoid installing pedals dry without grease, overtightening aggressively, or mixing up left and right pedals. Never use power tools. These small mistakes can cause creaks, inaccurate readings, or long-term damage.
Take an extra minute during installation—it saves hours later.

Why Assioma Pedals Are Ideal for Multi-Bike Riders

Unlike crank- or spider-based power meters, Assioma pedals move with you. That makes them perfect for riders who train indoors and outdoors, race on different bikes, or travel with one power meter.
This flexibility is a major reason Assioma pedals are trusted by both amateurs and professionals.
