Re: Powertap and Newton power not matching up

Circumstances.... I rode the bike for about 45 minutes. Then I I did a WindCal out of the wind. Then I did two out back rides on the same stretch of rode. Used the lap function to mark each out back ride. Then split each out back ride as a separate file which I shared in this thread. So, if you were...

Re: Powertap and Newton power not matching up

Would be great to know why my previous out and back rides did not yield accurate wind scaling values. I will need to give the power tap back and want to have a solid procedure if I need to change the position of the Newton or something like that.

Thanks, Aaron

Re: Powertap and Newton power not matching up

Followed your suggestion and it did have a big effect on the wind scaling. Picture attached.

Question- I'm wondering why the out and back rides I did the previous day did not set the wind scaling correctly? Any ideas?

Powertap and Newton power not matching up

I am borrowing a friends Powertap for a few weeks and wanted to take the opportunity to compare with my Newton 4. I did a 50 mile ride today and the power from each is pretty different. Would be great to know if something is up with my Newton 4 profile/calibration. Yesterday in anticipation of getti...

I'm using a Power Tap Pro with an iBike pro. I was able to pair via ANT+ with the dfpm. Unfortunately, I'm not seeing the speed. It is reading 0mph. Any suggestion?

Thanks for looking at the file. Very helpful to better understand how everything is working.

Wind cal question

I have an iBike Newton. I think it is the original Newton. It isn't the 5 or 6. I am running firmware version 4.16 My procedure for riding with the Newton for each ride is to let the Newton aclimatize to the outdoor temp. Then, I do a wind cal (out of the wind) and then I ride. Sometimes during the ...

Re: Switch Profile After The Ride

Good question. I had changed my weight in my profile and I was trying to figure out how to apply the new weight to that ride. My weight only changed by 3 lbs so I don't think that it would effect the power by that much.

Still not sure how to apply a changed weight to a ride?

Thanks,

Is there a way for you to send me a new one and I'll send the old one back when I get the new one? Or a faster way to do a turn around? Or a way for me to reinstall firmware here? thanks, Aaron

You hit the nail on the head. With temp changes come wind offset changes. I make it a point to notice the temperature when I set off for a ride. If the temp rises or falls a few degrees I plan on doing another wind cal. So, at some convenient point like stopping for a break or stopping at a light I...
