I had a previous email of tgore@velocomp.com so I sent it there

And what about the one with the irritating alignment that I currently have?

order ID is #106036

10/1/2014

I have them all boxed up and ready for return in brand spankin' new condition. I had already purchased one of the standard single armed Newton Front Mounts and I just mounted it on my new cyclo-cross bike and found that the iBike didn't seem to sit straight ahead. Is this normal? I tried loosening u...

John,

Thanks for the reply.

I'm still thinking about whether I want the new double armed super mount or the not so super Newton Front Mount. If I decide to go with the single armed Newton Front Mount would there be any problem exchanging what I've purchased?

Thanks,

Robert

I've just purchased a few of these new front mounts (Newton Solo Front Mount). I actually thought that I was purchasing the Newton Front Mount and was surprised when they arrived. My current mounts are the old stem mounts and the original single armed out front mount (Newton Front Mount). My questio...

I'm currently on FW version 5.02 and have seen this happen a few times. The Newton is set to Profile 1 The bike is the bike that = Profile 1 I turn on my Garmin and let it sync up I pedal the bike to get the speed / cadence sensor turned on and transmitting Turn on the iBike and wait a while for it ...

One thing that I would add to this would be to go out and do an out and back ride (ride out and then ride exactly the same way back) and then use the Analyze / Check Calibration functionality in the Issac software. In calibrating the Newton to my newest bike I did an initial calibration ride (which ...

Not that it is a fix but you can change the ride file time and date before you upload. Tools / Repair / Fix Date & Time in Ride File Every time you do a hard reset you will need to set the correct date and time (an easy thing to forget - I have done it a few times and it always used to happen wi...

The ride file said it was the right time zone and the time on the iBike showed the correct time.

The computer is set to the right time zone and has the correct time (it's my computer and no one else uses it).

I have no idea what it was and it has not happened since. Must be those snow birds

The one sane thing about Arizona is that we do not have any DST.

Same time all year long.

So ... no ... there is no chance that I forgot to change the time

Robert

The time on my computer is correct (Internet time synchronization) and it is correct on the iBike.

I'm about to head out on a ride now ... we'll see what happens.

I just posted my ride to Strava and saw that it said I started at 6:30am today when I really started at 7:30am. The ride file in the Isaac software says that the ride started @ 12/14/2013 6:44 AM and the data in the CSV file says 2013-12-14T13:30:36Z (the offset is -7 / MST / Arizona time zone - no ...

I like my Garmin a lot, but I don't trust the numbers that get uploaded (or interpreted) to Garmin Connect. On today's ride average wattage is 24w too high and maximum wattage is just shy of 200w too low. The iBike numbers, WKO+ numbers, and the Strava numbers all agree with each other. With that sa...

Whoa ... I just played with the "Analyze Route" a bit more and unchecked Drafting and unchecked Drafting and Ride Has Out & Back and then entered a Known Elevation with the start and the end the same and it went from the 160w back to the ~130w number. That's cool and all but I am a lit...

Fernando,

Do you always say NO to the drafting question?

Here is a ride from last Saturday where I did definitely draft and there is a significant difference in wattage if I analyze and say no to drafting.

132w vs. 160w

Penny for your thoughts

Thanks again ...

Robert

Fernando, Thanks very much for the detailed information!! I definitely don't remember the enter known elevation working that way. If I am remembering correctly, the last time I tried to use that (a long, long time ago) I entered in a known elevation (an I could only enter in one) it did not behave v...

Fernando,

How do you set both to the same starting point? This is something I have not explored.

Thanks,

Robert

Interesting ... I went into the preferences in Isaac and saw that this setting was checked. I don't remember checking it (who knows?). Is this a default setting? After I saw this I looked in the documentation and saw this TIP: IF YOU OWN A NEWTON OR GEN III UNIT, LEAVE “AUTO FINE TUNE” UNCHECKED. YO...

So here's another $10,000.00 question ... Is there a reason to upload the iBike file instead of the Garmin file to Strava? Data Summary from the Garmin upload 83.5mi Distance 1,151ft Elevation (?) 04:04:56 Moving Time 2,377 Calories 170W Weighted Avg Power 259 Training Load AVG MAX Temperature 88°F ...

Fernando, You may be right about that but I believe that you're talking about using the SportTacks software. AFAIC there are at least two issues with that approach: 1. SportTracks is not free software 2. That is an additional step in the merge process. An additional step that I'd rather not have to ...

Very interesting ... don't know that I'm ready to buy though Looks like the tool used to be free based on the post where I found it https://forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?16899-Corrupt-Fit-files-help-is-on-its-way/page3&highlight=invalid+start+time Fit File Repair Tool The clever Toolbox for a...

There seem to be issues with the 500, the 800, and even the 510

Fernando,

In searching I came across this post.

It looks like you posted to it a few days ago - no answer yet.

Good question though!

Robert

So I submitted a ticket to the folks at Strava and they took a look at the Garmin file and the iBike file and this is what they said / found ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It does look like the iBike version of the ride does have different start times for your se...

Fernando, I will poke around on the Garmin forums and I will submit another ticket to the Strava folks to see if they can help figure out what is going on but ... In lieu of uploading the file that you massaged (since it is seen as a duplicate) I uploaded the FIT file which is not seen as a duplicat...

When I went to look in the Garmin Connect settings yesterday the FTP was defaulted to 400w. With that setting the IF should be way lower. I changed the FTP to 220 and that did not change anything. I totally agree that the numbers are way off and never questioned the iBike / Strava numbers. I just wa...

Fernando, When trying to upload to Strava it says that the file is a duplicate. I really don't want to delete the ride at this time for a few reasons (there are all the achievements that don't seem to register if you upload a file after you've already been awarded them and there is at least one comm...

Fernando,

This seems like a good explanation of the 'lap 1 has invalid start time' error.
