AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

Velocomp wrote:Removing the RWS is the same as changing the position of the Newton in the wind, so you should do a new calibration ride.

OK Will do, thanks John

Whenever you move your Newton in a way that changes either its angle on the bike, or its position in the wind, it will require recalibration. Just to check, I have a RWS mounted (with which I performed the calibration ride a couple of years ago) which I now want to remove. Am I right in saying I do...

Thanks for the response guys, ordering one now!

Thanks John, yes I agree! this is working again, now I can catch up on the missed threads!

We recently upgraded to a new version of phpBB, which solved the login problem. I don't know about the other problem. I guess it caused this new problem John which is quite bad, it means the only way to look at currently active topics is to scan through the board index for modified dates which is v...

Is anyone else seeing this? There seems to be something wrong with the forum when I view active topics, even though there are recent active posts it never shows me anything irrespective of what time period I choose

Anyone?

I really need to get hold of a new Speed Cadence sensor soon as I cant use my ibike until I do!

Thanks

Hi Guys, Will ibike support this: http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2014/05/garmins-spd-cad-magnetless-sensors.html I need a speed/cadence sensor for my new TT bike but Garmin have stopped making the GCS-10 unit I have fitted to all my other bikes. This is the bit of the review Im not sure about: Now it’s ...

I'm going to be doing a session tonight so I will post it up in the next few days. It will be interesting for me as its a session based around increasing cadence and I will be doing some intervals at a cadence I struggle to hold. Comparing the powerstroke movement to intervals that are at a steady ...

Hi,

Does anyone have a profile for Tacx T1000 Antares Rollers?

The Tacx T1000 Antares is really popular in Europe as it's a cheap but good product.

If we don't have a profile how would I go about making one? I don't own a DFPM as yet.

Thanks

Sounds great John, what's the 'other data' option in the configurable screens function? Does that mean we can add any other data of our choice? By the way, there is a review of ibike in the UKs premier cycling magazine this week 'cycling weekly'. It got 7 out if 10. The reviewer spent most of the sh...

Fantastic guys, looking forward to it!

Version 2.6.2 has been released. This is fantastic guys thanks so much, I have just paired the Newton data from the Crit I raced today with GPS data from my Garmin and now the Issac file is even more useful because I can see exactly where on the course all the data corresponds with. Also the Peaks ...

Hi guys, Just an observation, have started using the very useful Time Trial Interval workouts in Newton and noticed that when uploaded into Issac, there is a discrepency between the average watts displayed for each 'lap' (where I started a new interval) and the average watts displayed in the usual p...

Hi Guys Great to see Team Columbia using the Newton on their team bikes in the Giro this year (and doing so well in the race too), and what great exposure for the product! Would be interested to hear some insight into how the team have been using it, e.g. do they perform coast-downs for each rider? ...

Rode my first crit with the iBike last week, really interesting data. ibikecrit.jpg Aside from the power data which is the primary focus I find it interesting to see how much I was drafting thereby saving energy and exactly where I left the main group to chase down breaks (shown as not drafting). Du...

ok thanks John Its just that it leaves me with a very low friction figure of 0.872, but if you say its ok (and I understand this is calculated dynamically during the ride) I will accept the 0.3 from the check calibration ride. Any thoughts on why its gone from negative to positive? the only thing I ...

I read in the forum that Riding Tilt % should never be positive and yet I have just run 2 calibration rides + a check calibration on a new setup for my road bike, (which previously had a Riding Tilt % of -0.7) and I am getting 0.2, and 0.3. Could this be correct? The only thing that has changed on t...

Guys in summary all I am asking is do people end up with 2 separate profiles in Issac if they run the Set-Up Device Wizard before the calibration ride as opposed to when the Dial-In Wizard fires up automatically after the calibration ride?

Am I the only one seeing this?

Thanks

Guys, there is something I still don't get here, maybe I am missing something, hopefully you can put me straight, here is the situation. So from the 4 factory default profiles in the Newton I setup 2 of them by riding the calibration ride and then, when I download the calibration ride, using the dia...

Rider weight will have a minor effect on frictional watts calculations. It's best to change it in the Advanced tab of Edit Profile (VERY CAREFULLY; make sure the button to the right of Crr is on "Hold"), then send the profile to the Newton. Thanks John, so when I change weight in the anal...

Hi Guys How important is it to maintain the rider weight in the profile for the calibration ride? My weight is fluctuating quite a lot at the moment and there is a 5 pounds difference between the weight I setup using quick start a few weeks ago prior to actually riding the calibration ride yesterday...

ah really John?

Strange that I had to redo it then as I did it the day before, seemed off by about -7 today and got some strange high readings at end of ride which is why i ran the wind calibration again

Hi all, Big temperature increase in the UK this month and noticed that wind calibration is off, so calibrated it yesterday on my TT profile, but had to run it again on my road bike profile again today, so question is, does the wind scaling have to be done per profile or only once for the unit? Thank...

Hi all, Went for a ride on the new Olympic Velopark road circuit in London this week, and for the occasion I changed to Conti GP4000s tyres from Schwalbe Durano Plus. I was thinking that I would not need a new Cal ride for the change given that the cal ride calculates the wind scaling (which I guess...

Ok thanks John

It would be nice, in my opinion, to be able to launch the "Download Ride List" direct from the main screen rather than having to go via the "Download Ride Data" screen. I virtually always only want to download a single ride and if I do want multiple it will still not be all ride...

John, this will be great, this is the exact trainer I use

Does anyone know if it is possible to view Newton as a drive on Windows similar to the way you can if you plug in other USB devices like cameras and memory sticks?

I'm wondering if it's possible to view and copy the ride files directly within Windows.

Thanks

Julian

I would use 10 seconds. It gives a nice, smooth number. Yes 10 seconds is good and the Time Trial Interval Workouts setting is exactly what you need displaying Average Watts, Current Watts and timer on one screen. By the way another very useful feature which surprisingly never gets mentioned is the...
