I guess the question is: For anyone who has the same vector 3S powermeter working without any known accuracy or dropout issues: When you calibrate the powermeter do you only see numbers reported for torque or does it also show you that "--" reading?
Gotcha, yeah unfortunately (well, fortunately for me maybe) I don't have experience with the Vector 3s because I was scared off by the issues and went with PowerTap P1 (aside: my right pedal crapped out and SRAM replaced them with P2 pedals for free, but now they've discontinued the line and I am somewhat concerned going forward). I have some regret of not holding out to get the Favero Assiomas instead, because I'd originally wanted them but went with the P1 pedals instead when they were on sale a few Cyber Mondays ago and cheapest of all the pedal options. If you didn't get a screaming good deal on your Vector 3s, maybe returning them and getting Assiomas would bring you peace of mind.
