E-mail me off-list, or better yet, just call and we'll come up with something. But no, it's not normally something we offer (unique packages). It's a bit of a logistical nightmare to do so.

I usually position mine about 4" (10cm) apart, and keep them both on the chainstay. Some people are having better luck putting the speed sensors on the seatstay. It's kind of a user-preference thing.

Hmmm. Send me that file, and we'll have a look. You might also try measuring the voltage on each battery by pulling the stem mount battery out, and then installing it in the ibike for a few seconds to get that voltage number. Both batteries should be above 2.75 or so. One other question - was it col...

I'm not quite sure what your points are here, but that thread is pretty old, and most of the cynics' questions have been answered. No point -- just questions. Just trying to understand the how's and why's (along with potential future improvements) for getting the most accurate watts number possible...

I'm not quite sure what your points are here, but that thread is pretty old, and most of the cynics' questions have been answered. FTR, Do the CD's and the o & b and set your profile. It'll help with accuracy. If you don't have time to do a tilt and wind cal, go ride anyway, and you'll get accur...

Brian - what I think we saw done successfully was that some people used either handlebar tape or rim tape to kind of 'round out' the area that was usable. However, as long as you're using the double-sided sticky tape, I think that's what's going to keep you from getting tilt drift from that compone...

My current oversize, wired cadence bar mount is probably not seated as rock solidly on the bar as it could be. Wondering if anybody has overcome the same situation, and how they did it. The round oversize section of my handlebars--Ritchey Comp Streem if memory serves--are round for only a short run...

Greg, you need to send me files of both the iBike and the SRM (preferably same ride), and send me your Profile (you can export that to your desktop and include in the e-mail). We'll have a look and maybe publish the results of what we find.

White - because it'll show up on a magazine cover and people will ask what the heck THAT is.

I've done the 10 coastdowns, 4-mile ride, profile building, and download to iBike. I have my iBike locked rock-solid to my stem with VRK installed. Now, I'm wondering which of the following steps are absolutely required, recommended, or not needed (i.e. already config'd by the coastdown/4-mile ride...

Todd - send me a phone number off-list and I'll call you to troubleshoot.

Good point - noted and put on the list for future additions.

We just obtained the load curve for the 3-d/SpinScan side of the CT, and the only real problem is getting it to work with the RRC value. BTW, everything in CT is based on a 70Kg rider, so small riders are handicapped, and big riders are at a distinct advantage on speed. This one may take a while, ju...

Hey - go read "The Right Stuff" and you'll understand.

We don't want to compete with CPS/TPS, which can do that. However, I'll help anyone set up their CPS over the phone if they want it.

We need to get you a S#. E-mail me off-list and we'll get it fixed.

Send 'er in and we'll get you fixed.

Today really hurt. We went out to Longview for the "Freeze Your Fanny" rally, and after about 15 miles or more we were pared down to about 4 riders - LaSport, UT dude, Mighty Whitey, and me. The terrain in Longview is actually pretty challenging, and while it definitely warmed up over the ...

Send me a phone number off-list, please, and we'll figure it out.

See you in two weeks down at SW Cyclery, and we can do more than eyeball.

Is 64-bit XP kinda Vista-lite?

Also - check the battery voltage. Anything under a 2.7 or thereabouts will lead to false values.

It's a WIP.

And as Dean Wormer said in "Animal House" - "You'll get your chance, tough guy!"

Seriously - this is big. Really big. please hang on. My own nails have been bit to the nub on this.

I just spent some time with a couple who own two iBikes, and we did a test with a power-tap and a Fluid trainer, to determine which load curve fit best. The wife's test showed that the manufacturer-supplied value was best. I'd say it was off by maybe 3%. But then, when her husband hopped on, and att...

Mike -
I forgot to ask you to send me your ibp profile. Please forward that when you can.

Mark.... and all. Sorry about the formating. It looked good when I typed it in. Anyway, I tried to attach the spreadsheet that I made but it wouldn't let me upload a file with an .xls extension. So I copied it to word and it wouldn't let me upload a file with a .doc extension. I also tried saving t...

Okay, this is the inherent issue with load curves and calibration issues. The load curves supplied by the manufacturers center around one type of person, one type of overall weight, one type of resistance - but they're all unique to each and every manufacturer. Racermate's original curve is based o...

Let me call you early in the week. Have your stuff with you and available (and preferably off the bike), including the stem mount and the sensors, and have a nickel ready.

Send me an e-mail with your ph# or skype address and we'll troubleshoot this live. I've never heard of this one before.
