Strange Wind Calibration Readings

Post by DavidSkater »

When I calibrate the wind on iBike, it almost always starts off showing >25mph wind speed (even inside my windless garage). Just a few minutes after the wind calibration it will, again, show wind speeds 10-20 mph inside my garage. Any thought on what may be causing it? File attached

You posted your profile, not a ride file.

Please post a ride file

There's nothing peculiar about the ride file you posted.

it looks like you did a group ride and that you had some strong head/tail winds.

The next step would be to do a new cal ride.

Thanks for taking a look at the file. The power data from the ride looked OK. . . it was a hard tempo group ride with about 10-15 mph winds. My comment was more about the wind showing >20mph while in my windless garage. Sometimes even immediately after a few wind calibrations.

Ahh...that isn't wind speed you're looking at; that is the calibration number, which has nothing to do with windspeed.

Thanks John. I never realized that. So, I guess all is well.
