Frequently Asked Questions
What cleats work with the Rally RS/XC210?
The Rally RS/XC210 is designed to work with SHIMANO SPD‑SL (3‑bolt) road cleats and SHIMANO SPD (2‑bolt) off‑road cleats when you use the corresponding pedal body. Confirm whether cleats are included with your purchase on the Forest Bikes product page — many listings sell cleats separately.
How accurate are the power readings?
Garmin rates the Rally sensor at +/-1% accuracy thanks to its updated strain gauge and gyroscope system. In practice this delivers very consistent power numbers suitable for training and racing, though accuracy benefits from following recommended pairing and calibration steps in your head unit.
Can I move the sensor between bikes easily?
Yes — the Rally pod is removable and designed for quick swaps between the included road and off‑road pedal bodies. The pedals thread onto your crank like any pedal, and the sensor simply snaps out to change bodies, making transfers fast without permanently reinstalling a meter on each bike.
Which head units and apps does it work with?
Rally pedals broadcast over ANT+ and Bluetooth LE and are compatible with Garmin cycling computers, many third‑party ANT+/BLE devices, and popular training apps. For the best cycling dynamics and force metrics, pair with a compatible Garmin device or check the app's feature list for support.
How durable are the pedals for gravel and XC use?
The composite/carbon pedal bodies and stainless steel spindles are built to resist impacts and abrasion common to gravel and XC riding. Regular maintenance—cleaning, bearing checks and periodic service — will extend service life, particularly if you ride in muddy or wet conditions frequently.
Do Rally pedals require frequent calibration?
Rally pedals don't need constant re‑calibration, but it's good practice to perform a zero‑offset or calibration after major temperature changes or when reinstalling the sensor to ensure optimal accuracy. Follow Garmin's pairing/calibration steps in your head unit for the best results.
Buying Guide
When choosing pedal‑based power meters, consider platform compatibility, how often you'll swap between bikes, and which metrics matter most. If you run both a road and a gravel/XC bike, a removable‑sensor system like the Rally RS/XC210 avoids buying two separate meters and keeps your data consistent across platforms. Also weigh weight vs. durability: composite/carbon pedal bodies and stainless spindles balance lightness with longevity for mixed‑terrain use. Finally, check head unit compatibility for advanced metrics (force data, balance and power phase) and decide whether included cleats or extra accessories are necessary for your setup.
