Bahrain Victorious Quietly Switching Power Meters at the Tour de France
Team Bahrain Victorious is officially partnered with ELILEE, but riders have been spotted using Favero Assioma PRO RS-2 power meter pedals at the 2026 Tour de France (and Tour de Suisse).

Magene P515 Power Meter Review
The Magene P515 has been one of the most requested power meters to hit the Lama Lab recently, and after two months of testing across both the PES alloy and TEO carbon cranksets, the results are in. And unlike a few recent competitors, this one actually held up well when put under pressure.

New UCI Bike Computer Rules: BIG is BANNED in 2028
The UCI wants to reduce rider distraction in the pro peloton, and I agree with the goal. But limiting the physical size of bike computers completely misses the point. The distraction problem isn’t screen size, it’s software: alerts, prompts, pop-ups, auto-pages, messaging hooks, and features that can appear on any device, big or small. Let’s […]

ThinkRider PP5 Power Meter Update TESTED // Manufacturer Confirms Issues
Follow-up testing on a second ThinkRider PP5 with updated firmware confirms the same issues: inconsistent power, residual torque after efforts, and drift at higher wattages requiring frequent manual zeroing. Results match the first unit, ruling out a defect. ThinkRider has acknowledged the problem and plans a future fix, but as it stands, the PP5 isn’t […]

Magene P715 SPD-SL Pedal Power Meter Review
The Magene P715 delivers solid, within-spec power data and performs well as a pedal, backed by excellent battery life and solid durability. However, in a competitive market, its external pod design, limited feature set, and now price parity with stronger alternatives make it a tougher sell.

Garmin EDGE Bluetooth Sensor Limits
After chasing down some frustrating sensor connection issues on my own setup, I discovered something about Garmin Edge units that I really wish I’d known earlier. While Garmin states newer Edge computers can support up to 12 sensors, only three Bluetooth sensors can be actively connected at once. This limitation becomes very real as more […]

Coospo S10 Power Meter Review
A few weeks ago the ThinkRider PP5 became the cheapest spider power meter I’d ever tested at around $100 — and unfortunately it failed due to residual torque issues that caused inflated power readings after hard efforts. Now the spotlight shifts to the even cheaper Coospo S10 at just AU$123 (about $88 USD). On paper […]
