Re: First powerpod ride - speed and power readings high.

6ft4 or thereabouts, relatively short legs, big shoulders, big head. I tend to go for a fairly low position on the bike as I ride a lot so have built up the flexibility.

I'm guessing an out and back is probably the best way to do it?

Yep, magnetless sensor already on the front hub - I'll have a look at what I'm getting on the Garmin and go from there.

Re: First powerpod ride - speed and power readings high.

Here's the .fit file from the garmin, which has the power readings that it received from the Newton. It's worth mentioning that the speed/distance readings in the garmin might be a bit off as this was the first time I used it with the speed sensor and I think it might have been a bit off for the fir...

First powerpod ride - speed and power readings high.

I did realise that I set the Tyres as 700x35 ...

Re: Newton vs Powerpod

The Powerpod is probably the leading contender, but with the Newton being slightly cheaper I'm wondering what the relative ben...
