Re: Announcing Velocomp app for iOS
Is it possible to transfer existing profiles - from Isaac or import from PP?

Re: Announcing PowerPod V5
True, but Power is also recorded by PP for deep dive analysis in Isaac which does provide great metrics and insights. I know Isaac is a "beast" but it's getting increasingly overdue for not only a makeover but a complete new version. Currently Isaac requires a wired computer connection to ...

Re: Announcing PowerPod V5
My V.4 was upgraded to FW 9 today. Will the app also work with earlier PP generations?
Looking forward to a cloud based mobile Isaac app one day with high speed upload of rides and no need to connnect to computer via cable….

Pitot tube thread
Today I unfortunately broke the pitot tube just where it enters the PP. I managed to get the broken threaded part out. Am now wondering if I can re-thread the tube with only a few mm length missing. Worth a try I think… But what thread size is it?

Re: Power too high? Part 2
Ah - get it. But then we might have an issue. As this were commute rides - primarily in one direction (NW) and wind coming from W more or less (at least for the Planet X ride).
I think I better do an o&b ride this weekend and see how the Check calibration results look.

Re: Power too high? Part 2
Brilliant. Thank you so much John. I also just switched profile on my latest FTP ride and all of a sudden my FTP increased by 16% from 234 to 272 - wonderful How do you recognise such wrong settings? Just your years of experience or are there some golden rules or tips to follow?

Validity of the PowerPod compared with the Verve Cycling InfoCrank
Just came across this one. Interesting study and findings. As users what learnings should we draw from these findings in terms of mitigating a tendency to high readings in a dynamic environment?

Power too high? Part 1
I am currently riding two different bikes: A De Rosa road bike and a Planet X commuter bike (with mudguards, slightly more upright position and approx 2 kg. heavier). I commute to work - in nice weather on the road bike and in not so nice weather on the commuter bike. The route is pretty flat and ma...

HR data Isaac vs Garmin Connect
Today I did a 20 min FTP test. The Isaac file shows 92 BPM throughout the ride. The Garmin unit continously showed values in the 150s - as does the Garmin file. Both files are attached. What could be the reason for this? The different power output is due to the wrong profile being used during the ri...

Mount tilt
I received my v4 PowerPod yesterday and am looking forward to try it. The old v2 I had mounted on K-Edge XL Garmin combo mounts. It was mounted level to the ground. With the v4 I understand it is ideal to have it pointing slightly downward to allow rain to run out of the pitot tube. But by doing so ...

Re: Calculate smooth vs rough surface distribution
That is exactly what I'm hinting at John. The feature I'm thinking of would use the data from the DCRR to calculate the split between smooth and rough surface. When I get home from a gravel ride I would like to know how many km I rode on paved roads and how many on non-paved. If the road roughness i...

Calculate smooth vs rough surface distribution
The other day when I was riding my gravel bike on a combined asphalt and gravel route I got thinking if it in a future software update would be possible to have PowerPod/Isaac calculate and show the approx. distribution of smooth vs rough surface. If you combined rides it is always difficult to gues...

Cannot check calibration
I did a few tweaks on my road bike and got a new speed sensor. So off I went to do a new calibration ride which went smooth as it should. After the calibration ride power lit up and I rode 4 laps of a large oval (former airfield runway). During the ride I noticed that everytime I came to the end of ...

I just got a new gravel type commuter bike with drop bars, 700Cx35 mm tires, total weight 106,6 kg, riding mostly on the hoods with elbows bent. I did an out & back calibration and updated weight & tyres data. Ride file attached. Do I need to tweak anything further or does it look valid?

Hi, I just switched to a rear disc on my TT. It's been a while since I rode this bike the last time so I started out with a calibration ride. Then did a 10K right after. Does everything look correct or should I tweak some of the values? Another question: It appears as if I can only have one profile ...

Elevation issue
Hi,
I just noticed that both my two commuting rides from yesterday have odd looking elevation. As if I was continously below see level. When the morning ride ends and the evening ride starts it's just at the pier - 3 meters above sea level. Anyway to calibrate that part?
