The wheel set is set for gravel - but most riding is on decent asphalt. Roval - SLX-24, Specialized 30-32mm Tires at about 40 PSI. Which probably does raise the Car from normal road values.

Recent Cal Check
John -
I think this is a reasonable file to inspect for Calibration Check. The adjusted values look OK to me. There were a few changes from the initial cal ride but I do not think any drastic alterations took place.
Thanks,
Tom

Re: Calibration & wind graph
Heed John’s words well. The PP3/4 are great devices that depend on just some attention to a few details. A short calibration ride followed up with a few miles of out and back to verify the calibration works wonders. Short enough to avoid wind changes, traffic, other riders the you might ride with - ...

I would suspect that your patent application is already covered in the plethora of details embedded in the design of the pitot.

Looks like the option to turn off displaying in the Garmin screens ---
CDA and Time Advantage portions of AP functions ---

should be useful for the PP users because these are not used in the PP.

Isaac handles the PP ride data the same regardless of computer operating system.

Re: New HR Strap
Is it just the strap or the sensor, too? - If you go for a ride and the PP still records your HR, this may indicate that you won't need another cal ride. It may well be that the ID won't change with just a new strap. Either way, if you do your calibration in the same location as your previous calibr...

If you are using a bike computer that can estimate tire circumference from revolutions and distance (from GPS) - like Garmin Edge systems - they can report the value that you can use, too.

Re: Is my PowerMeter calibrated? Feels like too low power.
I think some wrist based HR monitors are sensitive to how the band tightness is around the wrist.
My own iWatch can give misleading readings unless I make sure it is snug during exercise.
