Re: Firmware 309 is coming

The new wind speed feature works great, but I think the term "absolute wind speed" is a bit confusing. When Absolute Wind = Yes, I would think the wind reading should be the actual (i.e absolute) wind speed seen by the iBike unit. When Absolute Wind = No, I expected the "relative"...

Re: Trainer profile for Fluid² - which one?

I have a 2007 Fluid2 and I don't think any of the curves match my particular unit. They seem to over report power by a significant amount, again, for my particular unit at least. I've done separate fitness tests both outdoors and indoors (using the 1up profile as it has the "flattest" curv...

Re: iBike 3 Software "Auto Analyzes" Trainer Ride

On trainer rides, I've noticed that the slope is automatically corrected after 5 minutes of riding (see below). From what I understand, this is done by the Gen III unit itself rather than iBike 3 software. Since I'm in "trainer mode," this doesn't affect the power readings at all. However,...

Re: Linux Compatibility

Hi. I've tried installing ibike 2 using both Wine and Crossover but haven't been successful. It hangs in the middle of the install. Thanks for the advice on VMware server. I'll try that next.

Linux Compatibility

Is there any chance a linux compatible version of ibike 2 could be developed? I just bought an Asus Eee PC ultra portable notebook that runs linux (xandros). Its only 2 pounds and would be perfect to bring on bike tours to download ibike ride files before its memory fills up. I'm a linux newbie so a...

Re: Ibike on week long ride suggestions

Don't forget to carry at least one spare battery. I was on a supported multi-day ride and the power numbers on day 4 got corrupt due to a weak battery. I had a spare battery in camp and everything worked great after I put it in, though I still had unusable data from day 4. I'll carry a spare in my s...
