Re: Recurring Issues / What am I doing wrong

John, Thanks for the reply. First, I should have been a bit more clear in my most recent post. The batteries that I am changing are the mount and the iBike. I last changed the sensor batteries in the Spring. I recall from other posts that the timing of the WLS FAIL message can indicate a bad mount. ...

Re: Recurring Issues / What am I doing wrong

Hi All, I wanted to share that this problem persists on a sporadic basis sometime with wrinkles. For example, today's ride was problematic. I installed a new battery last week due to reported low voltage. This AM I let the Auto wind complete and all three sensors were found. About 15 minutes later a...

Re: Recurring Issues / What am I doing wrong

Hi John- I am on 4.2.4 The problem happened again on Sunday. The bike had moved from the work stand since my previous post. I spun the wheek and cranks and then pressed the center button, got a 'battery good' message and let the auto wind calc complete. I was wearing the HR strap and the ID was not ...

Recurring Issues / What am I doing wrong

Hi All- I am having recurring problems getting the iBike to see my sensors. I am hoping that this is a user induced/caused problem. The lack of sensor visibility tends to occur in waves. For example, four days this week, I was unable to get the unit to see any sensors. Last week, I didn't have any p...

Re: Q's about lessons learned with iBike & Footon Servetto

John, Can you weigh in here and shed some light on the subject. Back to rruffs point, for those who have DFPM and an iBike, what differences are there in the plot of power when you have an iBike profile which was setup with deep (lets stick with 66mm for arguments sake) wheels and you are using 20mm...

Q's about lessons learned with iBike & Footon Servetto

John- Perhaps this has been asked/discussed elsewhere, please forgive a potential duplicate thread. Any chance we can get some data from the Giro to play with? How does the team manage things like wheel changes. For example lets say a rider normally is using 46mm wheels and for a hilly stage, moves ...

Re: Are USB drivers compatible with Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard)

Hi All- I had the same problem as reported by the original poster. The mac was a new 10.6 install not an upgrade. I was unable to get the ibike sw to see the unit, I tried multiple times to remove the drivers without any success. I ended up looking at the NI site and found a beta driver for 10.6. I ...

Re: What's your fitness score and watts/kg?

Got up early on the left coast today and did the test today. I am 38 and got back on the cycling bandwagon about one year ago. FTP of 282 and w/kg of 3.14. Score of 4 on the fitness test. I recently upgraded from a G1 and had done some FTP estimation using collected data and http://www.goldencheetah...

Re: Calibration Ride Failures

Bear in mind that numbers outside of these ranges are very plausible. <snip>There are soooooo many variables that giving expected ranges of values isn't easy.</snip> After reading these posts and thinking about the coast down and cal ride procedure as well as the fact that you can use the estimate ...

Re: Calibration Ride Failures

Interesting config history. I recall seeing a video that suggested that good tilt results were obtained when standing over the bike and using your legs to steady the bike and firmly holding the handlebars.

This is what I've done for my tilts with G1 and for this G3 attempt.

Re: Calibration Ride Failures

I did a wind offset and tilt prior to the coast downs and calibration ride. I will do another tilt and see what happens. Is there any wisdom in wiping the whole config and starting over? Also, as a feature request in the ibike app, would it be possible to extend the logic that reports calibration ri...

Calibration Ride Failures

I am receiving a message on the ibike that the calibration ride is bad. I've made two attempts. I don't mind the riding, I just want to get the ipro working. FWIW, I upgraded from a GI and used iBike3 to send some of the data from the G1 to the G3 (miles, alt). I don't believe that I sent any profil...

Re: Elevation "Instability"

I am very curious as to what is found in your ride file. I just ordered an upgrade from a Gen 1 to Gen 3 today as I started to have problems with elevation issues starting in March. The ride that caused me to open a support case was during a 'weird weather day' here in NorCal. In the matter of an ho...

CSV Header Row Question

Hi Travis/All- I am working with GoldenCheetah as well as some homegrown scripts to analyze data from my iBike. I wanted to ask a couple of questions about the first two header rows from the iBike CSV files. Is the second field in the first row (example below is '10') a version number? Can you share...

iBike2 RoadMap

Hi All-
Is there a roadmap of features (with a timeline ) that are going to be added to iBike2? Some of the things that I am looking for would include the ability to plot FTP and other user-defined as well as computed thresholds on the power graph.

Anything that you can share with us?

Thanks,

Todd
