Power not showing up, Wind questions
Posted: Thu Mar 12, 2015 11:59 am
I just got my ibike newton this week, so am in a steep learning curve. I've done calibration ride and everything seemed to work right.
I rode the other day and noticed my cadence sensor wasn't being picked up and couldn't get it working until about 3/4 through the ride. During the ride, even with no cadence, power was displaying on the head unit, and was being received by my Garmin 510 as well. When I uploaded my ride to Strava (from Garmin unit) it shows the power data. When I open the file in Isaac there is no power for much of the ride.
1. Why did it show on my Newton during the ride, and Strava after I uploaded it.
2. Is the power data on Strava "accurate" ?
On a side note, can someone please explain the differences between ground wind, wind and bike speed? When I look at the Effort Speed graph it shows wind peaking around 7 mph, which sounds right but the advanced stats chart in Issac shows Wind average of 17.9 and max of 47.6. I'm guessing that's a combination of bike and actual wind but I'm not sure. I'm trying to verify if my wind calibration is off.
Thanks.
