I'm a hobbyist bicycler, soon to turn 77 years old. Been bicycling again since 2023, acquired some new-tech bikes since I started back with it.

I like gadgets (don't we all?) and power meters ought to fit this label pretty well I trust. I've got a 4iiii left crank for one bike now, proves to be a reliable data-deliverer.

Still, the potential appeal of a pair has me yearning for answers. 4iiii's are more than I want to spend (now that I own a single) so pedals are my next choice.

They're all rather spendy aren't they? Least costly are the Assioma Duos, that appear to look of similar design to the (dumb?) Shimano PD-R7000's I just bought.

Anyone venture an opinion or have first-hand input they'll share as to whether Assioma Duo's will work safely with these PD-7000's cleats? I have to assume Assioma Duo's come with their own cleats, but as I have yet to use the Shimanos I might just return them for credit before then.
