Noel, as you pointed out, we don't have your email address. Email me at tpape at velocomp.com.

Hey guys, John asked me to check in on this thread. First of all, let me mention what this on-the-road tilt correction algorithm is for. (I'm going to call it the slope_offset algorithm since that is what I'm used to calling it.) What we found with the initial generations of iBike is that things hap...

Robert, It might be that when you are attempting to extract the profile, you are seeing a message that it matches the profile that you already have in your list that you extracted from the 05/08/2010 ride. In order to avoid multiple copies of the same profile, iBike doesn't import a profile it if fi...

That dialog is not referring to the iAero memory. Is there any chance that you turned off "Automatically Analyze Route" in the preferences window when you tried the second time? In any case, please send the ride file in question to me at my velocomp address: tpape. This might be an issue t...

Travis - 4.0.3 will not read data from my iBike on the Mac Version (Intel). I can use 4.0.2 on my PPC Mac and input works. Also - After attempting to read the data, the progress window pops up several times and at the end I get the previous file, I also see that the space used on the iBike for data...

Looks great! Really cool new features!!!
Thanks Travis,

Glad you like it!

There are a couple of tasks in the application that seem to be excessively slow - file saving and opening are an example. (Mac version). These dialogs should almost be immediate. This may be Snow Leopard and not the iBike program as the file manipulations are slow in Safari, too!) I did check and f...

I posted iBike 4.0.3 earlier today for Windows and Mac/Intel. You can get the update by launching iBike4 and select "Help -> Check Online for Software Update..." The biggest new thing is that the old "Analyze Power" function has been expanded into the "Analyze Route" fu...

I'm noticing missing cadence on some of my recent rides also. Cadence is displayed during the ride but not on download. Travis, can you clarify what the circumstances are where cadence goes missing... It only happens if you coast for the first minute, i.e., speed is > 0 but cadence is < 30 rpm for ...

Hi Delane, What made your ride file different than most is that there was no pedaling in the first minute of the ride. In the old days, the FW would have given up looking for the cadence data, but now it is more persistent. The problem is that I had to make the corresponding change in iBike4. I've m...

Ever since my 13 year old sent his iPod through the wash, I've started saving the little desiccant bags that come in consumer electronics boxes. I read stories of others in my situation who have been able to recover Nanos by putting them in desiccant in a warm place for 24 hours, but alas, it didn't...

Ok, I talked to the customer and we figured out the problem is that the proxy server checkbox was checked. For most home networks, this should be unchecked.

I'm guessing it's a firewall because everything else is working fine. It's a new computer with Windows 7 and I've loaded everything for iBike opertion into it and everything works except getting new updates from the web. I'm not sure how to disable a firewall, I know just enough about a computer to...

Yes it is the server not avalible error-sorry for not putting that in. Is it a firewall issue? It could be. If you have a firewall that blocks iBike from having Internet access, it would cause that error message. You would also see the message if the computer does not have Internet access; however,...

I'm getting a .com error when trying to check for new firmware. I've currently got 4.16 and know that 4.17 is there but keep getting this error. Anyone have an idea what this could be? I don't recognize that error message, do you mean "Server not available right now. (Com error)"? Make su...

If you have a GenIII unit, I think a fixed Crr in the 0.0065 ballpark (I think Tom accidentally omitted a zero) would be a good way to go.

I ride a trike. I had done a profile calibrations in September but wanted to get updated values. I reran the calibrartion this morning -- did the 2 mile ride and then a lot of coast downs (15+). When I got home, I found that the iBike S/W determined my calculated crr was a negative value. What can ...

Yes it's easy. With the iAero paired to a wireless PowerTap, all you have to do is a 4 mile calibration ride and iBike4 will create a profile based on the combination of the iAero and PT data. See http://www.ibikesports.com/detail.aspx?ID=75

Cal Weight is you weight at the time of last calibration. Congrats on the weight loss. A part of the reason that you iBike is over-reporting power now is because the rolling resistance force is a little smaller now because you weigh less. Instead of attributing all of the difference to the aerodyami...

I can't get the new 4.0 software to load onto my new laptop w/ Windows 7 home edition. During install I get an error message: NI-VISA x64 support 4.3 installation has failed. Anyone have a clue why/how this happens and how to fix so I can complete the install? Thanks Rob Contact me if you are still...

John, I've been trying install 4.01 onto an new iMac running OSX 10.6.2. When I start the application, I get an "iBikeMac.app alert: Could not find the LabVIEW Runtime, you may need to install it." I did indeed install the LabView as prompted, and restarted the iMac afterwards. Any idea w...

Tried to download the installer software again tonight but got a file not found message, I did notice though the following link works http://www.ibikesports.com/iBike_update/iBike_for_Windows_4_0_1_Installer.exe Is 4.01 good to go ? Yes. I'm not sure how you would have gotten a file not found messa...

Since the Gen III holds two separate profiles, can each profile be uploaded with a different trainer? Example, Home trainer is a Genetic Road Machine, and Bike Shop uses CycleOps Fluid ^2 when I go there. Can I have profile use the Kinetic info and switch the unit to Profile 2 and download the Cycl...

I own a Tacx Flow Trainer (with power) & I like to work with this trainer on iBike, but I cant find him in the list. Which one to pick & upload to the ibike? I did a little searching and can't find that the Tacx trainer power curves have been posted anywhere. If you like, I could create a p...

Hello all. Just upgraded from an iSport to iPro and am downloading the new software to run with the unit. However I am having difficulty installing onto my Intel Mac (running OS X 10.5.8). I downloaded the installer and ran it. Restarted my machine and received a strange Boot Cache message prior to...

I've never quite understood the "highlight the portion that is out-and-back" feature. Isn't the point of the Cal Ride that it is all an "out-and -back" ride? That is mostly for those who have Gen I and II units, which don't have the separate cal ride--the cal ride shows up as a ...

Thanks very much, fellas! I updated my system with the new SW and FW. Today I got through a cal ride and DID NOT get the Bad Cal error. I then downloaded the cal ride to develop a new profile through the directions outlined in the software manual (Profiles -> Download Coastdowns). I highlighted the...

After installing version 4 and then loading up the iBike SW users's guide I get iBike® 3 Ride Analysis Software Reference Manual Version 3.06 October 2009 There doesn't seem to be any reference to the "Annotations" , "Analyze Dynamic CDA" or "Repair Selection for Blocked Wi...

Thanks all the your replies as i know just enough SW stuff to...
