AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

What would be nice would be the ability to choose a default format Issac export to. If I remember correctly Issac automatically creates a csv file from the ride file. So it would a fairly easy step, "only a few lines of code" to quote a colleague of mine, to get this added to Issac.

Sometimes tightening your HR strap can help get rid of the jumps.

This sounds just like what I deal with on a regular basis on accuracy vs precision at my day gig. This article at Wikipedia Accuracy and Precision is a great explanation of how the two differ. A lot of people get the two terms confused and how they work. I think the precision, or repeatability of th...

Hi.

I just ran across an interesting article at Velo News. This system tests Cda in a velodrome using a power meter and other sensors. I think it would be an interesting experiment to compare results with those derived from an iBike.

Cheers!

Time to guess what the new features will be. Wattage Forum Smack Down: This feature will detect Google Wattage Forum iBike detractors and give them a swift kick in the rear. New simplified power read outs: This feature will display your power using Sufferfest effort scales. Jens Voight Soundboard in...

Just my $0.02 (CDN) Where is the Isaac Help File? Only see a November 2010 iBike Software file available This is the one area that drives me nuts about iBike is not having an up to-date, detailed manual for Isaac. I'd like to have documentation that goes into detail about how to work the check calib...

HI all, Once again it's time to set up my bicycle torture chamber and mount my wheels on my trusty Vomitron® I've been looking at the coefficients for the Kurt Kinetic Road Machine and to set the value for D to 0.019168, which according to this thread over at Cycling Forums is the more up to date va...

Here's the ride file.

Hi, I've gone through calibrating my Newton+ with a power tap and I'm interested in interpreting the data available with the power meter comparison tool. The power tap is a loner and I might not have access to it all the time. Anyhow here's a sample from a ride I did last night: IBIKE STATS --------...

A bit of an aside but somewhat related. Is there a good explanation of the information present of the stats page and how to interpret it. In particular what do the R^2 tell us and what kind of numbers should we looking for when comparing our iBike data to DFPM data? I've looked through the documenta...

Great news.
On a semi related note, will the ISSAC software be available for download in the next couple of days?

I haven't felt this kind of anticipation since Christmas Eve as a little kid. Glad to see I don't seem to be the only one checking this forum every 5 minutes hoping for the announcement that Newtons have shipped. Understand Ibike team is doing everything they can. Excitement and anticipation continu...

Is the GenIII rechargable the steer tube mount compatable with the Newton ?

For those of us living outside of the U.S. will we get a couple extra days on the return shipping deadline of 10 days?

They really need a new Head Unit ASAP as none of the currently supported Polar devices can display or review the average power for an interval (think USER training mode on the iBike). You can see average power for the whole ride but for anything else you need to wait until you download the file to ...

Well it's official now, the LOOK Keo power meter is here. And the price, $2200.00, this going to set the forums on fire. For that kind of money you could several iBike meters.

A green light indicates the battery is charged. You should get a low battery message on the iBike unit when the battery needs to be recharged. When you plug the battery into the charger for recharging the light will be red indicating it's charging.

Sorry for the delay. I thought I had posted the link but it looks like it went to /dev/null instead. Here's the link to Erg Video

Lets take this a step further. Would this device allow you to use the power output from your iBike to work in conjunction with the ergVideo software?

Hi,

Just saw a quick mention of this new HUD for athletes on Velo News shown at Interbike this year. It's Ant+ compatible, configurable for target zones, and other cool stuff. This combined with iBike is going to rock. Guess what's going on my Christmas list along with a Gen IV upgrade

Hi, Just saw this http://velonews.competitor.com/2011/08/bikes-and-tech/quick-look-garmin-vector-power-meter_188454 on Velo news. Looks like the new device will cost about $1500.00, and be able to measure power of each leg independently. Usual reactions in comments section around pricing. It'll be i...

You could try the rechargeable mount.

Hi, I recently did a calibration and coast down as I switched to the rechargeable mount, different rims etc. I think the values are looking OK and I did use the new setup wizard, but this past week I did a couple of rides with fairly strong head winds and I'm not so sure any more. Anyhow I've attach...

So when can we expect the Dummies guide?

Hi,

I saw this article http://www.bicycling.com/bikes-gear/bik ... l_obsolete over at Bicycling Magazine. The device looks rather primitive compared to the iBike.

Cheers!

Hi,

Sounds like you're experiencing interference with your heart rate monitor. This can be caused by static electricity generated by your jersey. Make sure your heart rate strap is really wet when you put it on. Or you could use an electrode gel like Ba-Bump to help reduce the effect.

Cheers!

Dang. I wonder when the Android version will come out... +1, problem will be which device to support for the mount\pod, as there a so many new Android phones coming onto the market. Agreed. Now if they come out with something similar that allows you to combine a Garmin Edge 705 and iBike together o...

Looks interesting. But I wonder what they have in store for those of us poor schmucks that haven't got or aren't planning on getting an iPhone or iPad.

Or doubles as a laser canon to remove unwanted vehicles.

And the upgrade will be free, but shipping and handling will cost $400.00

I found I have to be careful when using a fan indoors as the "wind" generated by the fan can cause the iBike to tune off the trainer mode. This is only a problem when I position the fan directly in front of my bike when riding on my rollers or trainer.
