braking

Hi. I just checked data for a fondo ride in the mountains of Boone , NC I was checking the graphs of a section where I went up a killer steep mountain and down the backside. I know I didn't brake on the difficult climb. I know I did plenty of braking on the downhill switchbacks. The graphs show the ...

Re: Calculate FTP from shorter time trial

Hi. I'm copying a similar post that I just put up plus some insights gained after running 2 x 8 minute "field tests" a la Carmichael and the fit test on the newton +. I read somewhere that the multiplier for the 8 min. test was 90% to get FTP. Based on my 293 power, that came to 264 est. F...

Re: Scan for sensors

Hi John. The unit doesn't pick up the sensors , i..e. it's o's for speed , cad, hr etc. Waking up the ibike then spinning the pedals doesn't trigger the ibike until I manually go into setup and press scan

Scan for sensors

Hi, I'm having to re-scan for sensors every time the newton wakes up; even at rest stops .How do I lock this in so it'll pick up automatically? Thanks
p.s. This is with my girlfriend's unit. Mine doesn't have this problem.
Thanks,
Mike
