Re: PowerPod w/ ElliptiGo long-stride bike

I like it! Tell Elliptigo that you are using a power meter on their bike...and which one :-)

Re: PowerPod w/ ElliptiGo long-stride bike

On an Elliptigo you stand up pretty straight, which means that CdA is higher. If CdA is too high then you'll see high watts when traveling at high speeds. I looked at your ride file with a CdA of .575; that does seem to fix the few outlier spots. Let me know how your next ride proceeds. PS: I used t...

Re: Outdoor Velodrome Calibration

An outdoor velodrome is a closed loop (a good thing). If you're planning to do aero testing, make sure your AP is set to profile 4. When calibrating AP at an outdoor velodrome, ride your loops up to the 50W point; the number will stall at 50 and the status light turn red. Slow down to a near stop (8...

Re: PowerPod w/ ElliptiGo long-stride bike

Great, thanks! After sending that profile to the device, should I do a new calibration ride? Or is it good to go? You're good to go; no need to recalibrate. I think it is really neat that you're getting power numbers from your Elliptigo. You might want to tell Elliptigo about how you are using PP a...

Re: PowerPod w/ ElliptiGo long-stride bike

You have good intuition! When coasting down a hill, CdA will be correct when the "braking" disappears. In your case, applying a CdA of 0.65 to your profile 1, and applying this profile to your "profile 2" ride, results in everything looking great. Load the attached profile into y...

I suggest you pair the sensor to your bike computer, then spin the wheel and confirm on your bike computer that the sensor is sending information. Assuming the sensor is functioning, try pairing it to your PP. If sensor is functioning bu...

Re: Calibration Issues

Do a hard reset (press-hold for 12 secs; after a few seconds light will flash green, keep holding button until light goes out briefly, then starts flashing again. Release the button).

Hopefully this will fix things.

Re: weird Power numbers

The hard reset restores the proper sequencing of internal software commands. Your profile data is unchanged, so there is no need to do a hard reset for each profile.

If you want to add sensor IDs to your different profiles, you will need to do a new sensor pairing and cal ride for each profile.

Before starting pairing, use your bike computer to be sure your speed and cadence sensors are working. I don't see any data dropouts in your ride files, so I ...

PowerStroke works in part by precisely measuring the time between the crank passing-by the same point on the bike. When we created PS it was simple: whenever the cadence magnet passed by the sensor a signal was sent. I don't know how either the Garmin or Wahoo cadence sensors work, but I suspect bot...

You are getting very peculiar slope spikes. Please show photos of how your unit is attached.

Make sure your unit cannot rotate at all...
