ThinkRider PP5 Power Meter Review: $100 Power Meter TESTED!

The ThinkRider PP5 is one of the cheapest spider-based power meters I’ve ever tested. I paid just AU$136 (US$100). On paper it promises ±1% accuracy, ANT+ & Bluetooth, 300-hour battery life, and full left/right balance. That kind of spec at this price should shake up the market. But after deep testing against a trusted baseline, the numbers tell a different story. Is this the budget breakthrough riders have been waiting for, or proof that some corners simply can’t be cut?

  1. How is the clearance to your crank arm? I needed to file 1.5mm from the PP5 housing plastic to clear my Easton EC90 SL.

  2. Hiya GP,
    Please advise what are the options for a MTB requiring 0mm offset on SRAM DUB cranks 3 bolt?
    Thanks man, San-E 🙂

    1. Alternate power meter options? SRAM will have something that’ll fit straight on I’m guessing. Alternative there’s a few SPD/XC pedal options on the market that work well (and some that don’t) 🙂
