3.2. Calibration (Zero Offset)

For optimal accuracy, it is recommended to perform a zero-offset calibration before each ride or after significant temperature changes. This can typically be done through your connected bike computer or the Favero Assioma app. Ensure the pedals are free from any load during calibration.

3.3. Pedal Tension Adjustment

The pedal tension for clipping in and out can be adjusted to suit individual preferences. Locate the tension adjustment screw on the pedal body and use an appropriate tool to increase or decrease tension. Test the tension before riding to ensure comfortable and secure engagement.
