Cal ride won't show start

I've successfully initiated and completed prior cal rides. Now, my Newton won't show Start but rather just keeps flashing Cal Ride no matter what I do -no reaction to pedaling or buttons but for abort cal when holding the middle button.

best installation for 2014 Trek Speed Concept

I mounted my Newton between the aerobars just before the point where the bars angle up. I am wondering what the best way is to route and fasten the tube? I have tried sort of an S curve by taping it with duct tape to the bottom of the base bar. I don't like this as the tape is tacky looking, not ent...

Wind Callibration

Will someone please clue me into the proper protocol for and significance of wind calibration. i have followed the meager instructions and am frustrated that weird wind factors have been radically skewing my power results. Thank you!

Learning curve

There seems to be much that is discussed here and assumed knowledge that goes way beyond what is in the Newton Instructions pdf. Is there another source users should be reading beyond the pdf? I.E should one read manuals for the other/earlier iBike products to be fully versed?

Analyze feature

I need some explanation of the utility of the analyze feature on the Isaac screen. What is the utility of the changes that take place versus "original download." For example, if I hit the "analyze wind" tab, my power numbers are sometimes knocked down relative to the original dow...

Re: Fitness test

Hate to be a pest, but am waiting for Travis to take a look. I did another calibration ride and had the same result re a "flamer" ride with ananlyzed wind knocking the power way down. right now, I am totally confused as to what to do. I thought a wind cal was not even necessary. I am also ...

Re: Fitness test

Thank you for the good explanation. However, when I saved the attachment (Fixed Profile IBP) to Isaac for Mac, I get a blocking message that said the file format was not recognized.??

What's this about new tilts for new files.? I thought a good tilt was "once and done" for the unit??

Fitness test

I wonder why the power number starts out at say 290 on the originall download and then resets to say 180 when I come back to the file later. I also wonder as to other rides, why I often get a query as to whether the ride started and ended in the same place. If I say no, the power figure dramatically...
