Power tap pedals
Considering getting a set of power tap pedals wondering if anyone has experience. Specific questions
I assume it pairs with Garmin, 510 in this case? Any issues with that
Can you use look keo pedals? Lots of info out there that the pedals are close to but not exactly Keo.
Battery life?
If you used the power tap pedals, does it come with pedals that float or is that a separate purchase.
And anyone who has also used Garmin and can compare the two. Power tap certainly much less expensive. Have no previous experience with power meter if that makes a difference. And thanks

I have them on my TT bike, and I swap them back and forth between the primary and the backup bike. They don't require you to use a torque wrench to put them on, and you can easily swap them between bikes in minutes. You need to use Look Keo cleats, and float is determined by the color of the cleat (Red, Grey, or Black). They pair with anything via ANT+ or Bluetooth Smart. They take normal AAA batteries, and the battery life is pretty good. I have gotten a few months of semi-regular riding out of the first set of batteries. I love them. They were expensive, about 1200€ here. As portable as they are, you don't need another power meter though.
