AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

test

I'm running Windows 7 home edition. I got it connecting this morning after updating an intel chipset driver for my USB enhanced controller. Whew! The motherboard is only about three weeks old and getting all the chipsets updated and whatnot is proving something of a chore. Had me worried there for a...

Installed latest 4.0 ibike software today Installed Windows 7 usb driver Ran ibike software Won't connect via any usb port to my iAero Tried every USB port, tried opening and closing program then reconnecting - no connect error Checked device manager - silicon labs software installed (no advisories)...

I know this might be to general of a question, but at what point in your life will you power output start to decline in cycling in regards to age ? Thanks Tom Like everything else in life that's age-related, it's not far from the truth to argue that at some point past the age of 30, all systems sta...

I generally ride a straightforward out and back route. Same as you, I tend to get a negative wind number. Only seems to be positive (say in the +.1-4 range) when either the outbound or the inbound run has very strong crosswinds, say in the 15-20 mph range. More often than not in recent weeks, I've j...

Given all the different kinds of view requests I've seen since the iBike was first introduced, it's probably safe to say that the best solution would be to make the displays completely user configurable. Unfortunately, I suspect that kind of solution would probably make the device cost a lot more th...

In detailed post-ride analysis, should I do the wind analysis before I do the tilt/power analysis? Or does it not matter? Also, While I suppose it would be difficult to estimate how 'off' power figures might be per an individual ride if the wind offset feature is not as precisely calibrated as you n...

How about folks keep this on the original topic and post interest on an ibike gathering on the other thread...Thanks.

My profile sets weather at my home area code. But most rides I do take me through many area codes and the wind and temps can and do vary greatly during my rides from that provided for my immediate home. More times than I can remember I've done rides with strong winds that are not reflected in the we...

Okay. Per Rich's advice I did a new series of coastdowns and a 4 mile out and back ride today. Tilt post analysis appears A-OK now and running the past few days of ride files through the analysis with the new profile pulled up numbers much closer to my perceived effort. Thanks for the heads-up Rich.

Thanks Rich. Email sent with files to your gmail account via my gmail account.

For the past several weeks I've been getting the same tilt correction/analysis after every ride. As a result I've done some very precise tilt calibrations, but the pre and post ride analysis always seems to look like the photo below. Not sure what to do about this. In the past, my green line slope b...

Now I'm confused. The Quarq is a power meter. The IBike is a power meter. Richard says they will complement each other. How so? Does one offer something that the other doesn't? Will I need both? Is there some feature that Quarq offers that Ibike doesn't? If yes, can it not be added to IBike?

Travis: Found the advanced box you refer to but attempts to import existing data failed. Not sure why. (I end up with asterisks **** in the 'import from ibike' window). I do know my aero and friction numbers but it's the other things like CdA, Crr, etc. that I can't see when I view abbreviated data ...

The system on which I kept old ride files and my ibike software crashed. I've installed the ibike software on another system but now want to create a new profile for use in reviewing ride files. The only profile figures I have are the existing numbers I have now installed on the ibike itself. I see ...

Thanks Travis.

Two things: #1: When I clicked on the forum at 7:25 Sunday morning, this message was listed as new since my last visit. However you posted this message a couple of days ago and I have been on a number of times since then. Admin should check this out. #2: Were you on a road with constant traffic? Wa...

Anybody?

Something that's been on my mind since the introduction of ibike 2.0 software is the "average ground wind" figure when I analyze a ride file. On a ride yesterday, for example, the wind was blowing steady 10-13 mph with periodic gusts to 19 mph from WNW and swinging to NNW. My ride was alon...

My Garmin 305 overestimates calories burned by more than half from my ibike. Always has. As I recall, Garmin uses speed, time ridden, and the rider weight. Numerous complaints have challenged the accuracy of the Garmin method. And have a look at this article from the NYT on how troublesome calorie c...

Lemme see what I can find out.

Don't know what happened over a topica forums, but I'm glad to see ibike now has it's own forums. At some point I hope ibike can somehow migrate the topica messages over to the new forums here. We built up a lot of good information on that forum and it would be a shame to lose it all. Though because...
