Garmin Vector "sizing"
I'm thinking of picking up some Garmin Vectors. Let's not get into the "why would you do that" for the moment. Assuming my mind is made-up, I have a question about the sizing. The pedals come in 3 sizes:
- "Standard" 12-15mm thick, 44mm wide
- "Standard" 12-15mm thick, 38mm wide
- "Large" 15-18mm thick, 44mm wide
My current pedals are Time RXS, mounted on a SRAM crank. What size Vectors would be compatible?
Thanks in advance to the gear experts...

I would measure the crank, how to video here:
This blurb is from dcrainmaker's review:
Today, Garmin announced new Vector pedal pods that now fit larger crank arms. The new pods fit crank arms up to 15-18mm thick, and up to 44mm in height. This is a change from previous, where the pods only fit crank arms up to 15mm thick and 38mm height. As a result, this extra length allotment will allow it to fit cranks previously not supported – like some of the S-Works, FSA, and ROTOR Flow arms that were previously not compatible.
Note that the crank length remains is unaffected, which previously supported 110mm-236.5mm. Additionally, the chain clearance remains unaffected, which is listed as 5mm, though, I’ve found you can get away with about 3.5-4mm in most situations.
Finally, there’s no other changes to the pods technically, and no reason for previous Vector units to upgrade. It’s just a form factor thing for wider crank arms. Availability is set as this spring. For folks who already own Vector and want to buy the new pods for bikes they already own, the set of the larger pods can be bought for $99.

I think Atilla has you covered on the sizes but want to remind you that I'm a Garmin dealer through Wheelbuilder. Email me if you're interested in a quote, rich@endurancenation.us
