Wolftooth is the only one that makes a 30t. The smallest X-Sync2 is a 32t. They changed the Quarq from a 76bp to a 104 when they got rid of the external magnet. They used to do a 28t Sram ring.

oooo pretttyyyy, dare i ask about price? (or is this some special test version)

It was custom made for me so I'm not sure what it would cost. The normal XX1 Quarq is $1,100 without ring or BB.

Of the 12 on the Elite Team, I'm probably #12. Nino gets his name gold plated on everything and a Tour Bus, I get GX and JayP's hand me downs. #domestique

For me a Quarq, or any PM for that matter, is worth every penny. Except for Stages, those things suck monkey balls.

only 2 reasons i havent purchased the powertap pedals is bc they use their own cleat, and charge like $800 for a pair . . . my powertap hub seems to be fine on that bike, im still looking for something reasonably (to me) priced for my other bike.

I just got the Duo’s. So far so good.... just wish they were SPD’s. The xpedo cleats are goofy.

sorry for my poor english - I still use and love them, probably cleats are not that stable as shimano but I do not care

 

[shrpshtr325]

does someone sell a pedal that uses that cleat for the 2nd (or 3rd 4th ect) road bike in the stable?
