Thanks, John. Done.

I rode ~40 miles yesterday and got what look like pretty reasonable numbers. Looking forward to tweaking/fine tuning PP so the indoor profile matches my coach's Comptrainer setup too.

Best,

John, I have taken some photos, although I don't think they really show anything. Here's an update: 1. The plastic thumbscrew grip--the part covering the machine screw/bolt--is now destroyed. My attempts to tighten/loosen it with a wrench or vise-grips did it in as it is clearly not designed for tha...

Please provide a photo. If something is wrong we will replace under warranty Will do. It looks normal to me, but who knows. I just finished re-reading some of the troubleshooting steps and I see that the question of how to orient the PP in the mount is to push it FORWARD until it stops. Of course w...

Hmm...are you using a Velocomp mount? This amount of tightening should not be necessary. Hi John, Yes--it's the mount that came with the unit which I purchased from Clever Training. Is there any chance they substituted something else? I just pulled the Powerpod and the mount off the bike to inspect...

Sorry for the long delay---shortly after my last post I broke my arm and have been off the bike while that healed. Today I followed instructions and loaded the standard profile and recalibrated the Powerpod. I did a 1-hour ride and things looked good. We'll see how it goes and I'll report back. My q...

It sounds like, for whatever reason, your original 5 minute ride did not get the right calibration constant stored internally. So, when starting a new ride (which includes riding after a rest break) your PP spends the first 8 minutes correcting things. Here is what I recommend: 1) Load the attached...

OP here. I did another ride on Saturday and did not remove the Powerpod from the bike in between rides--so position should not have changed. First ~10 minutes of ride still showed very high numbers before settling down. Same thing seemed to happen when I had to re-start the Powerpod after a coffee b...

I recently bought a Powerpod after doing MUCHO research for my first power meter. All others didn't fit my use case--for a multitude of reasons. I was initially sceptical thinking that the P-pod couldn't be a "real" power meter, but DCR's review and John Hamman's (and others) remarks in th...
