Just bought my first power meter and invested in a set of powertap p1s pedals.

Can anyone tell me when I calibrate them on my bolt there comes up a message "torque 11" or something like that...just can't remember now exactly what it says atm...but can anybody shed any light on what it actually means and has the pedals actually calibrated.
Big thanks

    So long as it doesn't say calibration failed you are good.

    They are not the most reliable:

    I gave up with mine and got my money back.

    Hopefully you will have more luck with your p1's.

    Yep, went through 4 or 5 pairs, a friend of mine did the same. Hopefully they've solved the QC issues by now?

    Mine are just over two years old. No problems so far except when I changed the batteries and tightened up the covers too much and they didn't work (no flashing of the LEDs). I found that just nipping up the covers lightly while ensuring that the green LEDs flashed was the way to swap betteries.
